2023-02-13 Meeting Minutes

This meeting scheduling
- Since we’re skipping member updates to focus on the team at large this will be a 30 minute meeting instead of a full hour.
- Due to WARG + Orbital social (which we should all be attending in E7-5343 from 7:30-9pm) we’ve moved this EE meeting from 8PM to 7PM. In the future we will return to 8pm Monday meetings in E5 2103.
- To help us recognize EE is a part of WARG we’re going to be doing this meeting in the WARG bay instead of E5-2103. Our bay room number is E5-2003.
EE Team Direction Update
- We don’t just wanna be a PCB design club, we have a whole team that requires our support with numerous opportunities to learn about our aircraft control system rather than pigeonholing ourselves.
  - We will be prioritizing tasks in alignment with team requirement rather than solely EE directive.
  - We won’t be prioritizing pulling up Altium and looking at Asana in future EE meetings.

Project Manager Announcements
- @Michael Botros: Bootcamp Revamp
- @Nolan Haines: Aircraft Harnessing
- @Ethan Abraham: Icarus Wiring Diagram
- @Daniel Puratich: ZeroPilot 3.0 Hardware (ZP3HW)
Information
- We have our next flight test scheduled for February 18th and a lot of onsite support will be required from anyone that can to prepare properly for this event. @Nolan Haines will drive this effort.
- Our bootcamp revamp is beginning to kickoff to resolve some of the longstanding difficulties. @Michael Botros will drive this effort.
- ZP3 Interface boards have arrived and we will now begin assembling and testing the STM32 on our ZP3 Primary boards which we verified has functional power at this point.

Task assignments in order of priority:
- @Ethan Abraham
  - Project Manager of Icarus Wiring Diagram
  - Setting up EE team social
  - Supporting all tasks based primarily on priority
- @Daniel Puratich
  - Project Manager of ZP3 Assembly, Validation, & EFS handoff
  - Procurement order for necessary onsite materials
  - Updating Asana Tasks + Discord Channels to reflect these changes
  - Finishing RFCs
  - Supporting all tasks based primarily on priority
- @Michael Botros
  - Bootcamp Project Manager
    - Managing Current Bootcamp Assistance & Owning redesign.
  - 24->12,5 Buck Board
    - This project remains apriority due to it’s usefulness on ground station, competition aircraft, and debugging procedures. It will be deprioritized to other tasks though as COTS solutions exist.
  - Ground Station
- @Nolan Haines
  - Harnessing Frosted Flakes Project Manager
    - Owning design and assembly direction for our flight testable aircraft
  - 12->5 Buck Board
    - This project remains apriority due to it’s usefulness on ground station, competition aircraft, and debugging procedures. It will be deprioritized to other tasks though as COTS solutions exist.
- @Stanley Hao
  - 12S Servo Module
    - This project remains a priority due to it’s usefulness on the competition aircraft. The timeline may be pushed consequently more support may be offered.
  - ZP3 Assembly/Testing/Validation
- @Muhammad Tanveer
  - ZP3 Assembly/Testing/Validation
  - 4S Motor Controller
    - Lower priority due to current lack of team immediate necessity though is almost completed so we want to push it across the finish line!
- @Steven Wang
  - Aircraft Harnessing
  - Ground Station
  - 5->12,24 Boost Board
    - This project remains apriority due to it’s usefulness on ground station and debugging procedures. It will be deprioritized to other tasks though as COTS alternatives exist.
- @Rukshi Thiyagayogan
  - Icarus Wiring Diagram
  - Un-assigning the High Power Module as the team already has a scuffed solution that does this job for the time being and it requires too much EE theory to be easily achievable.
    - Assigning this project was a mistake by EE leads, but the research and documentation will be useful in the future when this project is reinitiated.
