General Updates

  • Check out Conops for AEAC! Get involved in comp syncs for discussion https://www.aerialevolution.ca/annual-student-competition/

    • We decided to not do SUAS since it costs time, manpower, money, late conops.

    • Summary

      • Happening May 9-11 in Medicine Hat, Alberta

      • Aiming to do a full simulation Nov 8

      • Phase one January 15

      • Phase 1 Proposal, 2 is competition

        • Task 1

          • Detect a fire in the distance (red balloons ), Identify hotspots (IR beacons), Visually identify what started the fire

      • Task 2

        • Transport water from a source tank to the locations of the fire hotspots and deposit

  • Successful Flight test on Saturday!

  • Another test next Saturday:

  • Competition Architecture Sync: weekly Thursday at 8 PM in E5 2103.

  • Fixed Wing Architecture Sync is on every other Wednesday at 8 PM in E5 2103

    • More on fixed wing below

  • Successful Work session!

    • ESC Can Adapter assembly done!

      • just some validation left

        • checking for shorts

        • checking LDO pwr

    • Tracking antenna assembly mostly done

      • validating buck

      • fixing efuses

  • Work session next week Sunday @11AM in the bay

    • Plan:

      • Assemble LED boards

      • Assemble RPi Rev B board

  • EFS workshops:

    • Not directly EE but still can be useful

    • Sept 30th: Datasheets and Protocols, led by Sahil Kale

    • Oct 7th: Job Search & Interview Strategy, co-led by Christopher Chung and Sahil Kale

      • Chris is an EE advisor

    • All workshops will take place from 8pm to 10pm in E7 5353

  • Lack of pilots next term - Reach out if off stream and interested

    • Consider the commitment.

Reminders

Board bring up Status

Board Name

status

blockers

plan going forward

Tracking antenna

assembled SMT components on 2 boards

  1. vin-gnd 200 ohm resistance issue

  2. fix shorted pins on the other pcb

continue debugging and document process

ESC CAN

Assembled SMT components on all 5 boards

Resoldered some components that did not reflow well/had some minor issues (mainly the STM32)

EFS needs to do testing to confirm full validation of the board

BM06 Connectors not in yet, need these to program the boards

  • have extras in connector box

Validate EE side of things - testing for shorts, continuity, etc

Bring-up Tasks

In order of priority.

Peggy 2 Updates

Jerry Tian

updates: Installed range finder with Ian Van Den Steen , no issues reported

no blockers so far

plans going forward:

  • Order IR filter Ryan Scomazzon by

    • doesn’t solve (question)

    • need new solution

  • Install video system Jerry Tian by

    • after this weekend’s flight test

  • Bring-up lightning boards

    • this weekend

  • Bring-up rpi rev b boards

    • this weekend

  • Installing PCBs

    • next Friday

Fixed Wing Updates - Fixed Wing 2025 - SysInt - WARG (atlassian.net)

  • R&D Project

  • First meeting of the term this week

  • Board updates above

Bootcamp Updates

  • Congratulations to Ahmed Osman and Sam Zhang for completing the bootcamp!!

  • Minor changes for future bootcampers:

    • Reviews will now be conducted over discord voice chat and are meant to serve as a discussion about the boards design and possible improvements

    • Please ping Parker Lawrence-Valeriani when you’re ready for review (smile)

  • Feel free to send any questions you may have!

  • Best of luck!!

Design Tasks

In order of priority. These are the active design projects.

Potential new project: Test Automation

  • Needs Assessment (comparing to the manual test procedure we have rn):

    • 1. characterize our custom buck converter’s performance.

    • 2. understand our designs more, help ee members learn

      • Load transient test is helpful on identifying issues if downstream board is brownout during flight test

      • Knowing efficiency of the bucks

    • 3. efs running out of work to do

Potential new project: document pegasus harness diagram

  • connector part numbers

  • wire lengths

  • wire guage

  • good for new members to learn about our system

Action Items

This section is here for completeness. If a new task is assigned in a meeting, it will be added here.

  • order 28 or 30 gauge wire

  • order thinner solder

  • No labels
