Action Items

@Kevin Li

  • Completed V1 placement for PDB

  • Tweak placement and get it reviewed

  • Complete layout

@Daniel Puratich (Unlicensed)

  • Enjoyed Testing Point meeting on Sunday

  • Add a significant quantity of testing points to flight controller to accommodate new space allocated by mechanical

@Kiran Surendran

  • Completed V2 placement for FC

  • Finalize placement

  • Complete routing

  • Finalize entire board

  • Order board

@Jason Skells

  • Continued progress on the motor controller schematic (currently under review)

  • Fix any issues that come about from the schematic design review

  • Figure out what size of footprints to use for the RC snubber (we want to use oversized footprints since we have to find the RC values experimentally)

  • Start documenting the schematic (will ask Darwin for advice, resources, examples)

  • Research RPP (reverse pulse plating) - not too sure what the purpose is

  • Start work on the PCB layout (will also have to add test points to the schematic)

@Muhammad Tanveer

  • Finalized BMS IC and MCU selection

  • Updated schematic libraries (added said IC and MCU)

  • Update PCB libraries (for said IC and MCU)

  • Start BMS schematic

  • Source previously used components

@Darwin Clark

  • (Very little, credit to Kevin for all below)

  • Ordered SMD components for the board

  • Switched the SMD MCP3004 to THT, due to stock issues

  • Finalized all output files

  • Order from JLCPCB? (Over Winter?)

  • Assemble (Early Winter 2022 term)

@Seungmin Hong

  • Continues gimbal confluence page (edits not published)

  • Start looking at potential future projects

@Ethan Abraham

  • Went through LDOs

  • Went through MOSFETs

  • Went through Buck Converter documentation on confluence

  • Analyze 4s-5V Buck Converter from Aug 2

  • Further review PCB layout and routing of buck converters

@Jatin Mehta

  • Went through BLDC part of the confluence to better understand motor controllers from a more high level perspective.

  • Also, watched videos to understand adjacent topics like MOSFETs.

  • Learn more about the specifics (formulas, etc) and specific theories.

  • Start understanding the drone (the design, etc) by going through the rest of the confluence and codebase, go through CONOPS documentation in more detail
