DD Current Sense / Comms

✅🚹

Any update on the DD Current Sense part selection? Any update on Comms?

• Baked a new RS422 board

• lengthen some motors wires

• Make some more RS422 connectors

• May have fucked an encoder from wiring

• Going to wire up the drive train this weekend

@Logan Hartford

Lead

✅

• Made draft of the of the new onbarding procedure/presentation

• Brainstormed some board ideas

• Start chunking away at the onboarding procedure stuff

Any update on getting started with the DD current sense board?

• Called with Billy

• Worked on the DD current sense board

• work on schematic

Any update on the DD Current Sense part selection? Any update on Comms?

• Met will Rayaan

• Working on battery SOP

•  

• going to finish sop

• What is the bare minimum electrical system?

• What are all the all the ways we can achieve this?

• New requirements--Need to power:

  • Jetson - 17V, 10W-30W

  • Gimbal

    • Search up nominal voltage and current draw for gimbal motor

    • Zed2: 380mA @5V

  • Vector Nav - 5V, 250 mA

  • Anenna - 24V 1.5A

  • Pi - 5V 3A

  • What are the power requirements for each of these?

• Encoders need 5V, mostly a current ref

  • 20mA per encoder

  • 48-5V buck

• 48V to each motor

• Apparently the Odrive supplies 5V to the encoders so no need for a buck

Total SAR Power Requirments

Rayaan

• How can this be done?

• How easy of a project is this?

• 3/5 tough

• Use resistors divider board to validate basic functions

  • For checking over-voltage?

  • Hook up the cells to the BMS and test basic functions

• Someone has definitely done battery emulation before

  • google it

@Farris Matar (starting next week)

• With vs without the BMS

• What is the safest way?

• What is the most convenient way?

• Any concerns?

• Should always charge it using a battery charger

• Have the BMS hooked up as well

• Connector solution

• Put safety warnings, storage instructions etc

@Yuchen Lin

• Do we have time for a work session this weekend?

• Yes

Rishith

• What exactly does this consist of?

• What needs to be done to verify?

• Send a digital signal to the neopixels, bitshifts

• Just need to hit it with PWM to set the colour of the whole thing

  • arduino town

@David Choi / Rishith

/ @Farris Matar

• working on instability issue

  • Should be fine with one antena

PDB Rev4 - Design and Assemble the PDB

Dec 19, 2022

• Performance testing complete

• Some small schematic and footprint issues across the board

• 17V performed well except on start up

• 5V is very noisey

• One BMS has been assembled

• Basic non-performacne and non-firmware tests have been done

• An off the shelf replacement is being sourced

Science

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?

SPI LVDS

@Farris Matar

Apr 19, 2023

• SPI LVDS Host boards should have been assembled

• SPI LVDS Peripheral parts and boards should be in the bay now, pending assembly

• Harnesses need to be ordered in order to wire them up together and do testing
