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 external 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
