Some concerns or discussions Jerry waant to bring up:Topics

  • goals of W24 (focus on comp critical projects

...

Harness

  1. Neel and I need guidance on the harness, maybe we do a project handover?

...

  • )

...

LED pcb

...

...

high current power module?

  • EE Meetings and work sessions

  1. I like when the workshop/tutorials is related to a specific project, like what Farris’ feedback control for 6S ESC.

...

New projects?

  1. we don’t have enough members for the amount of projects we have rn.

  2. CAN sensor boards

...

PCB project support

  1. what should I do when I give out wrongg advices??

...

W24 flight test schedule

  1. drone harness

  2. LED

  3. ELRS gemini (ground test)

titleW24 goals
  • Harness

    • Most of harness is there

    • need to change for specific flight test

    • schematic on altium

    • add a buck board on pegasus

    • ask Nathan for help

  • potentially a 2nd drone

  • Gemini

    • handed over to firmware

    • electrical testing is done

  • LED pcb

    • see W24 ee director sync

  • Tracking antenna

    • Nice to have for comp

    • maybe not enough time to test?

    • firmware side is stuck

  • high current power module

    • not comp critical

  • Split up who's managing which PCB projects

    Michael:

    ELRS - Comp

    • Nolan:

      • Tracking Antenna - No longer comp critical

      • ZP3 interface - Not comp critical

    • Mena:

      • PDB - Not comp critical

      • High Current Power Module - No longer comp criticalPDB

    • Jerry:

      • 12S Servo Module - Not comp critical

      Nolan:

      • Tracking Antenna - Comp 6S ESC - Not comp critical

    • Neel:

      • LED Driver board - Comp critical (for extra points)

      Mena:

      • 6S ESC - Not comp critical

      • 12S Servo Module Can Sensor Interface - Not comp critical

  • Project process

    • Brainstorm project → Block diagram → Component Selection → Schematic → Schematic Review → PCB Design → PCB Review → Sourcing → Assembly → Testing

  • Drone and wiring diagram

    • Mena and Nolan will work on it

      • Try to get Neel into wiring diagram with you guys

      • We will heavily promote and we will do a demonstration of the wiring in the first electrical meeting

      • Michael will also try to contribute

  • voice opinion, don’t say yes because pressure

Expand
titleEE Meetings and Work Sessions
  • Ideally EE weekly meetings stay the same as last term

    • Michael cannot attend meetings before 9PM

      • Will people show up in person at 9 for a weekly meeting?

      • Will people show up on weekends?

    • Perhaps Thursdays 9PM online meetings during the week

      • This is the current plan

  • Work Sessions

    meeting probably 7pm - 8pm Thursday

    • earlier time would encourage in person attendance

    • Jerry will make an announcement later

    • Jerry will lead the 1st meeting

  • Work Sessions

    • >2 people leading PCB assembly / wire harness

    • Great that wiring and assembly sessions already being handled

      Potential room for workshops/tutorials

    • Brainstorm ideas for what to teach new members so its easier when crunch assembly sessions happen or you need a task done but no member knows how to do it on their own

    • Soldering/wiring/using PCB tools/OScope and power supply
    • most work session will happen in bay

    • Board assembly work sessions

      • ZP3 stuff- on hold

      • ZP3 Board Tracking

      • Potential boards

        • Servo module

        • tracking antenna

        • LED

        • High current

  • Sometime next week for sure, come up with list of new projects we can potentially support

  • Great opportunity to talk with Daniel, Anni as well as other subteams on projects they want to run that require EE support

  • CAN support, Really high current small buck board, power and wiring carrier board for drone etc
    Expand
    titleComing Up with Projects
    New Projects
    • not enough new members 🥲

    • hold bootcamp work sessions, in discord / in person / after meeting

      • weekly bootcamp work sessions

      • Jerry & Neel will help with bootcamp review this term

    • realistically only CAN module

      • ask Michael to manage it

    • prioritize projects that EFS can work on, e.g. CAN module

    Flight Test Schedule Proposal
    Expand
    titleASANA
    • Instead asana used for every part of a PCB project, maybe its application can be used to specify certain actionable large level tasks with descriptions (sort of like a quest)

    • The 3 of us will do an Asana cleanup by 2023/9/13 (next Wednesday)

    Misc

    • use it to encourage member to set their own goals

    • Jerry: asana is too much documentation work, checking confluence is enough to be on track as leads

    • only useful if we have a PM

    • stop emphasizing on asana

    • bring this up in leads meeting

    • maybe ask ppl to write down timelines on confluence

    Expand
    titleFlight Test
    • depends on competition sync

    • drone harness will be tested every time there is a flight test

    • only need to test LED visibility this term

      • any weekend would work
