2024-01-09 EE Leads Discussion

Harness

• Most of harness is there

• need to change for specific flight test

• schematic on altium

• add a buck board on pegasus

• ask Nathan for help

potentially a 2nd drone

Gemini

• handed over to firmware

• electrical testing is done

LED pcb

• see W24 ee director sync

Tracking antenna

• Nice to have for comp

• maybe not enough time to test?

• firmware side is stuck

high current power module

• not comp critical

Split up who's managing which PCB projects

• Nolan:

  • Tracking Antenna - No longer comp critical

  • ZP3 interface - Not comp critical

• Mena:

  • PDB - Not comp critical

  • High Current Power Module - No longer comp critical

• Jerry:

  • 12S Servo Module - Not comp critical

  • 6S ESC - Not comp critical

• Neel:

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

  • Can Sensor Interface - Not comp critical

Project process

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

voice opinion, don’t say yes because pressure

meeting probably 7pm - 8pm Thursday

• earlier time would encourage in person attendance

• Jerry will make an announcement later

• Jerry will lead the 1st meeting

Work Sessions

• >2 people leading PCB assembly / wire harness

• Great that wiring and assembly sessions already being handled

• most work session will happen in bay

• Board assembly work sessions

  • ZP3 - on hold

  • ZP3 Board Tracking

  • Potential boards

    • Servo module

    • tracking antenna

    • LED

    • High current

not enough new members

hold bootcamp work sessions, in discord / in person / after meeting

• weekly bootcamp work sessions

• Jerry & Neel will help with bootcamp review this term

realistically only CAN module

• ask Michael to manage it

prioritize projects that EFS can work on, e.g. CAN module

use it to encourage member to set their own goals

Jerry: asana is too much documentation work, checking confluence is enough to be on track as leads

only useful if we have a PM

stop emphasizing on asana

bring this up in leads meeting

maybe ask ppl to write down timelines on confluence

depends on competition sync

drone harness will be tested every time there is a flight test

only need to test LED visibility this term

• any weekend would work
