2023-09-07 Electrical Leads Discussion

Every project exists in discord channel, asana and confluence page

• Electrical Active Projects

• Electrical 2023-2024 Goals & Milestones

Split up who's managing which PCB projects

• Michael:

  • ELRS - Comp critical

  • High Current Power Module - No longer comp critical

  • PDB - Not comp critical

• Nolan:

  • Tracking Antenna - Comp critical

  • LED Driver board - Comp critical (for extra points)

• Mena:

  • 6S ESC - Not comp critical

  • 12S Servo Module - Not comp critical

Project process

• Brainstorm project → Block diagram → Component Selection → Schematic → Schematic Review → PCB Design → PCB Review → Sourcing → Assembly → Testing

Drone and wiring diagram

• Mena and Nolan will work on it

  • Try to get Neel into wiring diagram with you guys

  • We will heavily promote and we will do a demonstration of the wiring in the first electrical meeting

  • Michael will also try to contribute

Ideally EE weekly meetings stay the same as last term

• Michael cannot attend meetings before 9PM

  • Will people show up in person at 9 for a weekly meeting?

  • Will people show up on weekends?

• Perhaps Thursdays 9PM online meetings during the week

  • This is the current plan

Work Sessions

• Great that wiring and assembly sessions already being handled

• Potential room for workshops/tutorials

  • Brainstorm ideas for what to teach new members so its easier when crunch assembly sessions happen or you need a task done but no member knows how to do it on their own

  • Soldering/wiring/using PCB tools/OScope and power supply

• Board assembly work sessions

  • ZP3 stuff

  • ZP3 Board Tracking

Sometime next week for sure, come up with list of new projects we can potentially support

Great opportunity to talk with Daniel, Anni as well as other subteams on projects they want to run that require EE support

CAN support, Really high current small buck board, power and wiring carrier board for drone etc

Instead asana used for every part of a PCB project, maybe its application can be used to specify certain actionable large level tasks with descriptions (sort of like a quest)

The 3 of us will do an Asana cleanup by 2023/9/13 (next Wednesday)
