Assembly & Testing (Ethan)
Lower priority due to other competition-related tasks which are more important
Admin
Purchase Orders (Ethan)
Digikey order sent out
TME connectors arrived
XT90s need to be ordered from amazon to make parallel battery harness
Bootcamp Revamp (Michael, Kevin, Farris)
No meaningful progress has been made in the past week.
We want to have this done before next term as recruitment is starting up then!
No progress due to flight test taking priority

PCBs
24-12,5 Buck (Ethan, Michael)
Awaiting Digikey Order for final Zener Diode
Will assemble QTY(20) (Half and Half per variant) before competition
for use in Telem Tower: 2023-03-25 - Ground Station Vrx Power4 buck converters completely assembled for telemetry
See Asana for timeline
12-5 Buck (Nolan)
Nolan Haines Not present at meeting, to add updates and timeline async
4S 30A Motor Controller (Muhammad)
Worked through most of the review items (all that's left is just laying some GND vias left)
Will plan to have another version ready for review tomorrow or Wednesday
Took some time to read up on tantalum caps vs ceramic/aluminum, will begin writing something up tomorrow
Design completed, awaitting order, see Asana for timeline
5-24V Boost (Steven)
Steven Wang Add updates and timelineHas a board size drawn out, working on getting the rules & vias into it this week
Feedback to be given asynchronously
Daniel Puratich Added into Asana
Plan is to order JLCPCB Order all at the same time
12S Servo Module (Stanley, Michael, Rayyan)
Added most buck components to Altium, still a couple left, had to change some components due to some already being in the library / some out of stock
Stanley Hao To assign Tom Chiu to some component creation in Altium
Bootcamper Progress Updates
Robson - Finished last task; final review this week if possible
Get this done!!! :d
Hoping to get it reviewed soon!
Tom: Watching the buck converter videos and final questions left.
I made way too big of a doc for all the questions, and it’s been so long since the beginning that I’ll likely have to study before I’m tested on it. I also did it on my note-taking app, not sure if it’s as convenient to send to someone. Can I reach out at any point to request a review or to be tested?
Michael Botros to discuss in bootcamp thread
Mena: Meeting setup with Michael to review! Michael: Fixed some small schematic things for overcurrent protection and I/O pages
Stanley: Almost finished buck schematic, footprint for mosfet and diode required
4S Motor Controller
Kevin: Will provide a PCB layout review tonight
Bootcamper Progress Updates
Kevin Li:
Reviewed Michael and Farris' sections
Should I reach out to you both for changes I think would be appropriate to make? Or should I just do them without asking
Robson - Did not come in person due to sickness; done bootcamp just need to schedule meeting w/ Michael
Tom - Finished bootcamp, doing review after ee meeting with Michael
