Action Items

Avani Joshi

Jason Skells

  • Power MOSFET research Power MOSFETS

  • Researched MOSFET datasheets and how to read them

  • Looked at some ON Semi Power MOSFETs (mostly the PowerTrench® variety)

  • Improving some of the explanations in the power MOSFETs page

  • Look at more MOSFETS and pick one for the motor controller

    • would be good to find out what motor we’re going to be using so we can pick appropriate FETs

Kevin Li

  • Completed documentation on current sense amplifiers (differential and instrumentation amplifiers, common and differential mode filtering)

Current Sense Amplifiers

Kiran Surendran

  • Benchmarking a bunch of drone hardware systems

  • Benchmarking sensors stacks

  • IMU research

  • GPS receiver research

  • VectorNAV comparison

  • H7 MCU research

  • More sensor research

  • More MCU research since 0 stock for almost everything
    • Working on input capacitor selection research

    • Continue research on input capacitor selection

    Jason Skells

    • Put up a few mosfets (likely will not be able to handle the current we need for SPIKE’s motor)

    • Continue to better spec’d MOSFETS

    Kevin Li

    • Received Gate Driver and BMS chips

    • Create the symbol and footprint for the gate driver chip (DRV8353FSRTAR)

    • Start and create the Motor Controller project

    • Finish the summary for the 2022 USC Student CONOPS and Rules document

    Kiran Surendran

    • Barometer research

    • Create symbol and footprint for micro (STM32H7)

    • Finish sensor research of ultrasonic and airspeed sensor

    • Look into cameras
