...
Should support rangefinders, optical flow sensor, lidars, barometers, GPS etc..
Our solution should be incredibly adaptable to multiple airframes and can be optimized for such
Our board should follow Mounting Hole Specifications for easier mounting into our system
...
PoC or PoE Custom board
Power and Data on one protocol
lots of EE complexity
would reduce wiring
PoE
Overkill for our application
Lots of implementation details
Monster Mount/Board
One CAN Node
multiple connections to lots of onboard sensors
Integration of an individual sensor and CAN node onto a single PCBA
no separate translational board (it’s all integrated in one board)
Bus based differential wiring scheme that only requires one set of wires to stack of sensors
Start with doing this?
Small boards with a single sensor and CAN node
Start with LiDars and Optical flow sensors because they’re high priority for Pegasus 2024 System Architecture
Final Implementation:
Lidar CAN PCBA
EFS and EE pick chips and sensors
Useful for lots of comp cycles
Will save lots of monies in future
EFS figure out CAN comms to ardu
Timeline
How many people are available to allocate towards this?
EE has a lot of bootcampers who are slowly working on it
Lidar CAN PCBA
hopefully done by end of april
then few months of testing
fly in comp 2025
