2024-06-05 Electrical Director Sync

Directors would like status updates and timelines from EE Leads for active projects.
- walking through most of them below
What micro and CAN transceiver is selected to commonize for our projects?
- Do we all agree on conclusion in https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Meetings/pages/2529001517 ?
What is timeline for ZP HW readiness for EFS M2?
- boards are one side done but only half way,
- Friday will assemble the rest to give to EFS
Nice to have @Daniel Puratich write / record a video on Altium shortcuts
- t g a repour polygons
- e e a deselect all
- shift s to show only this layer
- ctrl scroll wheel change layer instead of clicking
- space bar to rotate
- shift space to change corner style (for schem and pcb lines) (for rounding edges)
- e a paste special (paste on current layer)
- ctrl w place wire
- x and y
- ctrl f flip board
- selection filter
- will throw in backlog as a task
  - soldering guide → find one online?
  - crimping stuff
  - altium shortcuts guide
What do directors think about some new tasks on writing automated test scripts?
- Why?
- We don’t do a lot of testing
- Would be nice to have automated testing
- would help with https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EL/pages/2539980265
- we need to get some hardware: weef plus sponsors list
- wait till fall to push this, Jerry will drive when onsite
