Add mounting holes to boards:

  • Don’t put traces too close to mounting holes – Ari

  • Increase polygon pullback around mounting holes

To-Do (i.e. You’ve got nothing else to do this week so do one of these things):

Send Farris your Altium email if you want a team license
Test science
Test RS422 board (Reach out to Jason for more information)
Finish/test SPI LVDS board
We are working on wire harness this weekend
Support firmware & software

Deadlines:

  • PDB - highest priority

  • BMS - Prefer to be ordered by end of July

  • 24V Buck

    • Tentatively: Board in hand by the end of the semester
