F24 Start of Term Timeline discussion

F24 Start of Term Timeline discussion

During the discussion, we acknowledge there will be a huge time slip for sure. Two plan of attack are incorporated.

  • This document does not include anything other than drivetrain and arm.

  • The timeline served as a guideline for timelines, all the key members should meet to discuss the progress and actively update the timeline in this document.

There are a total of 4 main milestones that is defined.

  1. Sept 29th: Drivetrain complete

Definition: the drivetrain is presentable to any other member interested in seeing showcase, and Yuchen Lin Saheed Quadri are able to hand off the project to newer member to continue the development.

Tasks:

  • All motor switched to odrive

    • Piloting requirement: Odrive motor verified on the test rig on Tue.

  • Power system of drivetrain Redo:

    • use the 40A 24V buck and try to simplify the internal component

    • install jetson

  • Redo the rocker-boogie joint

  • Battery switch

  • Software fundamental basics

    • Odrive

    • sik radio with UART

    • Arcade controller

    • Speed Ramping

  • System manual describing the system of operation

 

  1. Oct 10th

Objective: simulation X complete and arm test rig complete, under the necessary modification to the arm

  • arm simulation complete

  • start FMU debugging with simulation X @software

  • arm test rig A2 testing complete

  • Billy, Eric, Melissa Jacobs Rayyan Mahmood grinding out and completing PDB new rev

 

  1. Oct 30th

Objective: Complete arm axis A1 & A2 & A3 and deliver to software and firmware to test. This is a demo for software to tryout the new arm and perform basic testing on it. Note: just these three axises should not fail at all so ideally software should get plenty of useful data for the future integration

  • A1 & A2 & A3 manufacturing complete

  • Arm board and arm firmware ready for testing

 

  1. Nov 15th

  • A4 & A5 & A6 complete

  • Fully tested the A1 & A2 & A3 operation

  • All axises integration

Acknowledging the incompleteness of this document, but this document served as a reminder for the key parts need to get done. Some example of important tasks but not in this timeline yet.

  • Gimbal + communication system

  • Science

  • 2 Foward object sensing camera

  • autonomy

  • Groundstation and Control

  • Control loop tuning
