  • Networking for Strategy Laptop

    • Need Katharine to explain to Strategy

      • Need to hardwire the laptop into a port at the school.

        • I have an adapter that works for a certain amount of bytes

      • Cannot be 801.2x enabled (authentication required)

      • The amount of data being pushed would be helpful to know

      • Test SSH capabilities

      • If that doesn’t work, will contact local IST to figure out alternate method

      • Cannot use router since it’s kinda pointless anyways

  • Coulomb Counting Script

    • Rudimentary script written by Ryan

    • Kostubh and Owen can test script next term

    • How to improve script?

      • We can improve based off research papers

      • Can compare script with actual battery to determine accuracy

      • Ryan needs average current draw data

  • Telemetry

    • RF transmitter is in bay

      • understand how to use

      • Make sure that it follows all RF protocols, it cannot interfere with other devices

      • Ensure that the frequency chosen had the desired range and avoids forbidden frequencies

        • There is a list, make sure to check regulations for the race location (should be pretty standard)

          • Eg. military frequencies

      • Make sure that the material of the car does not cause issues

        • Generally, concrete interferes the most, but there will also be no clear path for the signal

        • RF technically does not need a direct pathway, but range is affected

        • The signal needs to go through several layers and an antenna cannot be attached due to the nature of the aero body design

      • Test with changing the receiver sensitivity, noise will be high during the race

    • Strategy needs more information about this
