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
