@Ari Wasch

BMS

 

  • BMS documentation

    • List of fucntionalities, specifications etc

    • List of design choices

    • IC selection

    • Anything else that might be useful for someone picking up the project down the line.

David Choi

RS422 / Comms

Any update on the DD Current Sense part selection? Update on setting up PCs?

 

@Farris Matar

PDB/BMS

  • SPI Peripheral parts in the bay, SPI peripheral boards are in transit and should arrive this week

  • Will be able to go to the bay next Saturday (not this one) to assemble and possibly test the SPI boards (i.e. with an Arduino)

  • PDB documentation

    • List of fucntionalities, specifications etc

    • List of design choices

    • IC selection

    • Anything else that might be useful for someone picking up the project down the line.

@Joshua Harper

E-Box

  • ordered BMS/RS422 parts

  • BMS documentation

    • Add to the document @Ari Wasch creates

    • Changes made during your revision and reason for the changes

    • Current state of the design (functional, non-fucntional, un-tested)

@Logan Hartford

Multiphase Buck Converter

  • Went to the bay and supported @Rishith Bomman and @Yuchen Lin with testing the PDB and BMS respectively

    • Both are tested up to to the point where firmware will be needed or where performance is concered

    • Bunch of footprint problems with the PDB

    • @Farris Matar were the load switched tested in the last revision? They were behaving weirdly

  • Dayton team has not gotten back to me about setting up a meeting

    • Do we have specific questions that we could ask another team?

    • Do we need another meeting soon?

  • Ordered:

    • 4 sets of tweezers

    • 3 more power leads

    • 9v batteries

    • 16 guage wire

    • Bigger paste scrappers

  • Updated project tickets and meeting template

  • Work Session Stuff:

    • Assemble another buck

    • Assemble another BMS

    • Assemble and test more RS422’s

  • Meet with Olivia, David and Yuchen and discuss DD current sense project

    • Should start meeting weekly on this and make some progress

Comms

Any update on comms? Any update on the BMS back up?

  • Have we ordered the backup BMS yet?

@Olivia Markham (Deactivated)

BMS / DD Current Sense

Any update on the DD Current Sense part selection?

@Rishith Bomman

PDB

Any updates?

  • BMS documentation

    • Add to the document @Farris Matar creates

    • Changes made during your revision and reason for the changes

    • Current state of the design (functional, non-fucntional, un-tested

  • Please add all off the footprint issues that you found during testing to a document in the design folder for PDB on confluence

@Yuchen Lin

Comms

Any update on comms?

  • Is the comms documentation up to date with current development?

    • if so, I will review it this weekend

  • Please update the comms ticket with developments, should only take 10 min Comms

Science - Assemble & Test

Apr 19, 2023

  • Need one or two people to own the assembly and testing of the science boards and work with @Ivan Lim and @Wolfgang Windholtz (Deactivated) to ensure the board is ready for competition.

  • Found two assembled boards but none of the parts if @Ivan Lim / @Wolfgang Windholtz (Deactivated) have any ideas please let me know. Otherwise we’ll just order more parts.

  • @Ivan Lim / @Wolfgang Windholtz (Deactivated) Both of the assembled boards are missing a lot of parts, do the boards have a bunch of population options?
