Missing Attendees

• @Neel Patel

• @Michael Botros

We need to select preferred STM and CAN transceiver to support this new architecture push.

• copy pix can transceiver

• CMC preferred by Daniel

• We want to use this on upcoming fixed wing aircraft after comp we need to start pounding away at it especially so EFS is able to start dev work.

• See 2024-05-10 Mechanical Director Sync for post comp airframe plans

Ranking all projects discussed in 2024-05-09 Electrical Director Sync in terms of priority (highest is first)

• Servo Module Improvements target boards with CAN tested end of term. Communicate w/ Jerry abt this. Make sure he’s on this, good with it, etc, get it moving ASAP. Jery won’t have time for this. Anthony?

• Sensor Cluster target boards end of term. Make sure Michael understands that we want this done end of term. Probably put people on

• ESC CAN Adapter target boards end of term, Daniel’s co-op

• Unified Video System target boards end of term. Tom is on this. Will communicate that we have a time limit.

• ELRS Quadversity target boards end of next term, Nolan on this. CAN support first rev should be in addition to normal serial

• GPS CAN Adapter target boards end of next term, Omar is on it, committed

• LED Board Rev 1 target bringup complete for comp & change form factor for new airframe end of next term. next rev with CAN. sovle mechanical packaging. must have JSTs for next rev.

• ELRS Gemini maintain for comp, further additions can be saved for a few terms from now. might have people to make smaller.

• ZeroPilot 3.0 Hardware (ZP3HW) assemble for EFS M2, no more design work

• Tracking Antenna Initial Concept W23 could add in more improvements to design for a few terms from now. follow ardupilot stuff. combine best of both worlds and ardu support

• 48V->12V,8V,5V @ 3A BEC (Buck Converter) Ishman is on it, almost done

• Cell Monitor start small build up, may have resources

• 24V->12V,5V @ 2A Buck Converter Board leave where it is

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2518089733 for fun co-op is on

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=EL&title=12S%20High%20Current%20Power%20Module assemble and test, need to bringup

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2528509977 might’ve already been started, could reallocate efforts

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2115010797 let finish, use as learning

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2506883090 100% not this stop

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2311651382 100% not this stop

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2246017323 not being worked on

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2120089637 100% not this stop

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2250866689 is being worked on, theyre on layout, let this finish? scary, worth thinking about here, momentum, continue for knowledge

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2250670083 100% not this stop

Before Competition Efforts:

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2534309925 get the lighting system working for photoshoot

  • Parker and Omar are here, system design help is needed here

  • Nolan won’t be here for this. Maybe Monday

• https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ARCHS22/pages/2506391617 Get nice battery harnesses going

  • @Ishman Mann @Omar El-Sawy

  • this is a spare harness set

• Portable VTX

  • @Nathan Green to assemble this on Saturday

  • Ping in @Ishman Mann to watch this to see.

Bootcamp changes?

• what do you guys want to do here?

• get ready for fall, that’s the risk, will sync after comp

• have a system level portion of bootcamp?

• it’s a lot of stuff for new bootcampers to tell them the whole system

• need a way to ease members into

How do we ensure all our aircraft get system level block diagrams?

• Nathan lead high level diagrams. EE assign people for lower level diagrams.

• We need this to support integration and onboarding

• Ideally we start to standardize more common architecture for our projects?

  • will be very different from quad to plane

  • @Nathan Green to schedule post comp system level sync

    • would be massive meeting

    • we figure everything out ahead of time.

What kind of director support is needed?

• @Nolan Haines to setup EE leads syncs to get it goin
