    Board Validation

    (see tracker for validation priorities)

    Charger validation → July 10th work session

    Telemetry

    Hardware x Firmware meeting to discuss current state

    Collect equipment in Waterloo, make purchases

    Motor Sense Validation (HW)

    • At the stage of integrating Sense to Controllers

    • Blocks all of Power Train

    Starting this weekend (Mar 6) - 9 AM - 11 AM

    for now

    High voltage testing (HW)

    • Integration Testing

    • Charging

    • Battery

    • Blocked by Motor Sense Validation

    • Blocked by Pre-Charge integration testing

    Precharge needs to be tested with motor

    Cell balancing + BMS Testing (FW)

    • Need to test passive balancing

    • 1 AFE is broken

    Issues with commitment……...

    ...

    Long Term Planning

    Canadian Open: June 2022
    Competition: July 2022

    Not feasible:

    • No major design changes or architectural changes

    Spring 2021

    • Begin rear electronics integration

    • Begin harnessing (majority)

    • Begin Enclosure bring up, mounting boards

    • BMS, Full Mockup End of Spring

    • + Charging, lights, displays Integration for mockup

    • + Solar Testing


    Fall 2021

    • Solar Integration

    • Integration

      • All Mockup Items

      • Telemetry

      • CAN Network complete

    • BMS Validation

      • How long till we can start testing with the battery pack → end of spring term (may be able to test w/ cells on the bench, but we’ll want to test with the BMS with battery before integration with mech)

    • BPS Scrutineering Mock-test


    Winter 2022

    • Testing


    Spring 2022 (May)

    • Testing for competition
