High Current Power Module (Taim, Steven)
Engineering decisions made and documented in meeting minutes
Timeline? Steven Wang Taim Al-Dabbagh
12S ESC (Ethan, Chris)
Firmware generation and ioc stuff prob probably isn’t getting done until after midterms 😞
Board may ot or may not be compelted completed for end of term. Need to sync with Chris
FOC firmware is complex and requires alot of time to ensure that everything is correct.
6S ESC (Mena, Rayyan)
Rayyan: No updates; busy with midterms
Mena not behaving.
LED Controller (Neel, Parker)
Neel: Could not make it to this meeting but here are my updates
Neel: Me and Parker will be meeting sometime on Saturday to discuss design desicions decisions and get a block diagram of some sort prepared for new design.
Neel: As discussed in the prior SYNC meeting this board will now be independant independent of pixhawk inputs and the LEDS will always be one
Neel: Some research needs to be done in how to achieve strobing for one of the LEDs (555 timer was suggested)
Neel: Research needs to be done on what type of reflectors can be used for LEDs
Neel: Ideally basic design will be figured out by this weekend and comoponents components will be chosen by next weekend
2023-10-01 LED Controller Sync - Meetings - WARG (atlassian.net)
Agreed upon timelines: - at risk possibly due to midterms.
Architecture plans for next week. (research and decisions)
Order components end of October.
Full working prototype for end of term.
EE leads will be invited for next meeting
ELRS Gemini (Michael, Farris)
FM: Got an email saying PCBs just arrived today
Assembly work session?
Drone Battery PCB (Farris)
FM: Lots of experimenting with concepts & examining drone + batteries to see what kind of design could be feasible. Will meet with Anthony & Michael today to further discuss options

PDB (Tom)
Tom Chiu Please update status?
From last week: Chose PMOS for RPP, was down with a sore throat fever for 4 days, but will get back on component selection for peripherals.
Tracking Antenna (Nolan, Hardy, Michael)
25-5V buck schematic doneschematic
RPP still needs to be implemented. Schematic needs to be reviewed.
Possible delay due to midterms
Michael Botros Daniel Puratich Can you review?
Schematic still throws some errors but I think theyre they're easy to fix
After review onto layout I suppose?
Michael will continue to work on power analysis.
12S Servo Module (
...
Jerry)
Jerry: Finished 2nd version of component placement. I will discuss the layout in details with Daniel in person on Saturday.
Board should be ready to order next Sunday if Daniel approves layout.
Drone Wiring
Spin up completed and strap-down test this weekend (unconfirmed)
