Updates this week!

Admin

  • Altium licenses are back! (Thank you Ethan!!!)

  • Work session on Saturday for ZP3 Primary and Interface assembly (11AM)

  • New project for overall electrical system architecture design

Active PCB Projects

High Current Power Module (Zen, Chris)

12S ESC (Ethan, Chris)

  • Able to generate code with STM FOC FW framework.

  • Component selection will be finalized for July 2

6S ESC (Mena, Rayyan)

  • Using previously bought MCU, current sense IC, buck IC, and gate driver IC

  • Need to continue sourcing passive components

  • Need to continue sourcing power MOSFETs

LED Controller (Bennett)

ELRS Gemini (Michael, Farris)

Farris:

  • Made a bunch of schematic symbols for the major components, started some basic wiring between ICs

Michael:

  • Made schematic symbols for E28 module, started wiring for E28, LDOs and connectors

PDB (Tom, Matthew)

  • Researching phase

  • Adding research to confluence

Tracking Antenna (Nolan, Hardy)

  • switch back to nucleo l5 again, because f401 at bay are all broken

  • started brain storming, wrote a doc for that

12S Servo Module (Stanley)

  • Remade buck schematic, now it should look nicer

  • Fixed some labelling and placement issues in the other schematics

  • Next: Source bigger current sense resistor, make/find diode footprint, look into mystery RC snubber on “lower” MOSFET (datasheet has it drawn in the examples but never mentions anything about it)

OSD (Neel, Jerry)

Jerry: Created a simple structure diagram

Bootcamper Progress Updates
