Filip Tomic SJ (Unlicensed) @Tom | Takeaways | - Filip Tomic Revisit seatbelt mountings (start with the front seats, and then move to the back seats) - what cutouts we need to put if we can mount to tubes
- Tom CAD in the actual lines in case cutouts need to be made in the firewall and bulkheads
|
Chassis | Extra tubes running across the bottom of the bottom, on the edges of the occupant space Floor of the pontoons will have a thicker core while the channel running down the center of the car will not (using thinner core for catamaran)
|
Doors | DRI does not exist yet Hinges and latches are currently out of the Structures scope Tabs/Clevices for any sort of hinges - to add it when the chassis design has been finalized Doors can become more structural
|
Seatbelt Mounting | Already designed and built Biggest question - are we mounting to composite or metal of the chassis? Ideal to mount to metal Bulkheads will be structural but mounting it to the chassis tubes makes more sense
|
Brake lines | no changes - still same plan to run down the catamaran
(everything is still in the same place in space) CAD in the actual lines in case cutouts need to be made in the firewall and bulkheads Trying 2 parking brake calipers (heavier than an ATV but not as heavy as a 4-wheeler), decided after thinking from a safety perspective Have a caliper, know what space it will be occupying, how the wire is pulled is up in the air (which is fine - does not matter as much) Interiors will more forward with a mechanical lever, Tom will be an advisor for it
|
Battery Box | |
Parking Brake | Taiping recommended to go with a mechanical parking brake due to concerns for reliability Dual - one on each side, but have to design in the pedal/lever (how to activate it from the interior fo the car)
|
Driver Display & Infotainment | James will be completing the UI this S2020 term Goal is to make a flutter web app, not a react app - currently making sure it works with the Raspberry Pi 0 Jess will be holding onto the screen to test with the Raspberry Pi 0 Infotainment to be discussed later, no DRI atm Open Auto could be run on the infotainment, Jess is concerned we will hit a hard limit on the Pi (pi is too slow and performance will not be smooth). If anything needs to be displayed related to telemetry, it will be through a web app Earlier idea was to have 2 separate Pis (one to control the display) with a display switch
|
Headlights | The headlight itself is massive (17” from one corner to the other) Plan is to 3D-print multiple sections Need to consider materials that will not melt Nita is working on the charger-interface board and will be working on lights next
