Directors would like status updates and timelines from EE Leads for the following topicsactive projects.
walking through most of them below
What micro and CAN transceiver is selected to commonize for our projects?
Do we all agree on conclusion in 2024-05-17 EFS Director Sync ?
What is timeline for ZP HW readiness for EFS M2?
boards are one side done but only half way,
Friday will assemble the rest to give to EFS
Nice to have Daniel Puratich write / record a video on Altium shortcuts
t g a repour polygons
e e a deselect all
shift s to show only this layer
ctrl scroll wheel change layer instead of clicking
space bar to rotate
shift space to change corner style (for schem and pcb lines) (for rounding edges)
e a paste special (paste on current layer)
ctrl w place wire
x and y
ctrl f flip board
selection filter
will throw in backlog as a task
soldering guide → find one online?
crimping stuff
altium shortcuts guide
What do directors think about some new tasks on writing automated test scripts?
Why?
We don’t do a lot of testing
Would be nice to have automated testing
would help with RCA: Fried Boards
we need to get some hardware: weef plus sponsors list
wait till fall to push this, Jerry will drive when onsite
Status and Timeline for all projects in 2024-05-16 Electrical Director Sync
High Priority Projects
intended for our upcoming system plans for 2025 comp cycle
at least one person should be actively driving for all these projects
Servo Module ImprovementsSensor Cluster
no progress recently
there are no people to work on this right now
difficult project
more senior member project for validation here
Tom is on this
progress is happening here
Ryan is on this, wanted to work on this
test circuits on Michael’s board for STM32 tracking ant board
copy over as much as possible
Ryan is on this
assembled?
get EFS testing if it’s done
Michael is working on
unsure on timeline for this
Medium Priority Projects
long term usable but not planned on included for 2025 comp cycle
ESC specific
Omar
progress is happening here, design is early on
12V->5V @ 5A Buck Converter Board
new buck ic
output connectors
48V->12V,8V,5V Buck Converter BoardCell Monitor @ 3A BEC (Buck Converter)
layout nearly done?
component selection is done
having first rev be easier to debug
lower priority but worth doing
unassigned
Low Priority Projects that
these aren’t useful currently but are still being pursued
I guess
RCA: Fried BoardsAdditional Protection Project
nobody pursuing right now
might be interesting
issue is hard to recreate which makes debug difficult
needs to be assembled
leaving unassigned for now
5V USB - 24V @0.25A Boost Converter
seems far away
leave him on it as a learning thing?
6S ESC12V-5V @ 3A Buck Converter Board (fried buck problem)
Mostafa, letting him finish it, need to talk to EFS here
custom battery just isn’t scoped yet
assigned, worth shifting resources away from this
extremely low priority
Stalled Projects with no further progress happenning happening for this term
Zeropilot 4.0 Hardware (ZP4HW) stalled
12S PDB ← easily done COTS, stalled, took tom off of this
Drone Power Routing Board ← not viable conceptually
4S ESC stalled
12S ESC stalled
Small CAN Magnetometer ← easily done COTS
Review EE support anticipated for team programs
You’ll notice all the high priority projects are directly relevant for this!!
Having some EE members involved in the architecture syncs will help people understand the system
