Mechanical

• Drivetrain

  • couple parts left to make

  • 2 weeks from now should have all the parts

  • need assembly drawings

• Arm McMaster order made ASAP

• Specialty stuff from McMaster separate order

• Send stuff to Agile - use substitutes (in house) for now

• Gearbox will not ship for SAR (estimated ship date Feb 21st)

  • try to bolt straight on?

• Drawings done

• all COTS parts BOM done

  • COTS parts shipped within 2-3 weeks?

• motor encoder step files received from electrical → currently being mounted

• Gimbal

  • has been assigned

  • someone has taken full ownership (hopefully)

Electrical

• wiring the drivetrain:

  • wiring diagram?

• wiring diagram

  • wed-thrus to be seen

• 12 awg/ 8 awg wire needed

• molex connectors?

• nanotec → molex

• maxon → molex (except 1)

• maxon → 1 DOES NOT HAVE MOLEX

• wiring for encoders → molex as well

  • add encoder molex connectors to order as well

• Battery → expected this Wednesday ( Jan 26, 2022 )

• Battery charger selected

• science board → grinded out?

• electrical tracker made!

• big issue

  • higher voltage power supply → required for testing

  • peter has it → follow up with peter

• using last years LED matrix for SAR

• RS422 boards are blocking firmware

  • needed to hook up the drive train encoders

  • need fixture

Firmware

• Motor test fixture

  • fixture for maxon will be done soon

  • testing will start right after it is done

• maybe test the fixture with a load?

• working on Odrive firmware

• RLS encoders - where are they?

• formula electric may have them

• Melvin testing new gimbal

• Younes supposed to have returned the black fly camera

• one black fly missing (supposed to have 2)

• just the fixture is blocking firmware

  • broadcom test rig almost done

  • drivetrain test rig - lower priority → just use the drivetrain when it is built

    • wait for RLS encoder to come

Software

• Done stuff:

  • drivetrain done → testable

• Arm in progress → needed for SAR

  • URDF created

  • integration required

  • one step away from testable

• everyone else supporting with arm

• CAN API in progress to communicate between hardware and software → needed for SAR

• Science → not SAR important

• how to turn it on

  • All you need…

  • Rover is the computer → is the jetson

  • Setup required to setup the computer

  • commands required to “boot up”

  • wifi shit too (dont forget)

  • …

  • execute startup file

• once the architecture is there it will be easier to turn it on

  • confluence page → instructions (later)

• Base station? → deal with all the other stuff

  • still discussing

• alot of good progress

Science

• Ninhydrin test → confirmed needs to be documented

• work on experimental procedure → for documentation purposes

• SAR page 6

• Science plan in progress

• Physically test the Ninhydrin

  • Test in Lab if access

  • test in house perhaps

  • Print out SDS for chemicals

Business

• Weef

  • New weef director!

  • trying to deal with outstanding orders

• All of Cindy’s orders → in finance (good)

• Asha’s orders →

• Wolfgangs orders in process

• team account needs to be sorted

  • system in place works good

• older orders kinda wack

• check spread sheet if there are funds present before proceeding

• weef dates not out yet

• Sponsor labels to be put on the rover

Open

• let Anna know if there are any sponsors

  • glue/tape stickers to the Ebox lid or any other spaces

• Database for sponsors

  • keep track of who is talking to know and for how much money

STAR GOALS

specific, testable, attainable, and relevant

Mechanical

• order 3D printing filament (PETG and PLA)

• empty the ebox on the rover and take it off

• Drawings for axis 3 and 4 finalized

• Assist with Medinas Drawings

• Finish BOM for Agile parts → not send out stuff yet

• buy all the COTS smaller supplier stuff by the end of this week

  • servo city ADD TO TRACKER at least

  • order DF robot stuff

• need more bogie tubes

• re-machine 0119 :( - assigned to Jasmine

• Cut tubes

• assign all the drivetrain drawings

• MR22-DT-P0090 - @Ethan Cronier order this

• MR22-DT-P0115 - @Ethan Cronier order this

• MR22-DT-P0257 - @Emily Adam order this and everything else

Stretch goal → everything else

Electrical

• rigorous comms testing

  • channels work but not yet performance tested

  • bug melvin

  • new antennas not yet tested

• finish SPI Master board

• order PDM and RS422

• Check battery charger this week

• wiring diagram going to be finished by the end of this week

Stretch goal - layout all ebox components in the ebox now

Firmware

• Modify firmware to test broadcoms

• successfully test the odrive motor controller on the test fixture Austin is working on

Software

• Get arm to the same point that drivetrain is in

Science

• Write up for the experiment and document on confluence or other

  • extremely clear

• Print out SDS sheets for old chemicals, label the bottles

Business

• Resubmit Wolfgangs WEEF orders

• Finalize list of sponosrs

• collect logos

Stretch goal → start the spreadsheet for sponsor database.

Leads

• SAR planning

• SAR scripting

• @Ethan Cronier create the document
