Difficulty

Notes

BMS Carrier

  • Needs to be tested under previous BMS carrier configuration. Lower priority, focus on solar and charging.

HV integration into mockup

Further testing motors depends on mech (need rolling chassis)

BMS → dependent on battery, also need BMS Carrier assembled

Carryover from Fall 2020

Carryover from Winter 2021

All onsite tasks:

  • Assembling final versions of boards (HW)

    • PD

    • PS (done)

    • Steering

    • Lights

    • Solar

    • UV Cutoff

    • Centre Console (done)

    • Current Sense (done)

  • Motor Sense Validation (HW)

    • At the stage of integrating Sense to Controllers

    • Blocks all of Power Train

  • High voltage testing (HW)

    • Integration Testing

    • Blocked by Motor Sense Validation

    • Blocked by Pre-Charge integration testing

  • Assemble final versions of most boards (excl. AFE, DCDC, Charger interface, MCI) (January)

    • HW validation for new versions

    • Notes:

      • Aashmika has the reflow at home to assemble most boards

      • if lockdown happens, this can still be done at Aashmika’s house.

    • Unit test boards once they return

      • if designs are flawed, board needs to be resent (at any stage)

  • Integrate into mockup (February) - must be onsite

    • Displays

    • Horn

    • Cameras

    • Telemetry Router

  • Mockup Testing

    • Solar

    • BMS Full (Pending Battery pack, and other testing)

    • MCI, Limit testing for Motors (includes carryover from F2020)

    • Full Mockup Integration (w/ displays)

    • Worst case: bleed into Spring

  • Complete all harnessing/make diagram for full vehicle (near EOT)

    • Includes layout

    • Note: this is offsite, if lockdown, will move this task to Jan

  • Finalize Enclosures Layout
    (to plan for post W2021)

Spring Term

  • Assembling Final Versions of Boards

  • Complete all board mounts

  • Complete all harnesses

  • Complete all enclosures

  • Assemble all items

titleEasy / Manageable

  • Reviews for all tasks together (smile)

    • Last Saturday of each month? Extended standup 😞

  • Buddy system (2-3 members w/ a lead)

    • Leads combine tasks to have groups work on them together (Kristen (smile))

    • Saturday work sessions

    • Standups once a week → Wednesdays

Expectations for Next Term

  • RETAIN MEMBERS 😃

  • Join On-Site weekly standups to get a better grasp of overall elec progress, improve knowledge

Next Steps

  • Kristen S to get everyone ready for onsite work (safety plan, etc.)

Term Layout - Remote Tasks

...

Wednesday standup to go over group progress - groups will give updates together
