ICARUS Electrical Layout Diagram

Description of Change

The electrical layout diagram needs to be made in tandem with the ICARUS wiring diagram so that the electrical and mechanical teams can build and assemble the harnesses and mounts for all the electrical components and boards. This diagram will show the location of components such as motors, ESCs, batteries, sensors, cameras and flight controller boards.

Implementation

Annotated diagram of CAD model will be updated as locations of components are selected. These will be updated in the RFC discord thread as discussion progresses. The RFC page and discord will be updated until the final annotated drawing is complete.

Reason for Change

This change is required so that the onsite team members know where all the electrical components need to be mounted on the drone and with the wiring diagram they will be able to build the harnesses that are required for the drone.

Priority

High

Impact of Not Responding to Change

Subteams will not have the information to place all necessary components for the drone. Assembly will take longer than expected as people will need to make placement and harnessing decisions during assembly.
