PD validation update + lessons learned @jenna k

  • Power rails were up at first, encounter smoke

  • Observed current spike on display of pwr supply, board started smoking

    • Intermittent issue, happened 3rd time immediatly but not first 2

    • Zener diode was shorted between pwr/gnd

    • Something else was smoking but it still works

  • 3v3 from CB was at 1.8V

    • 12V*0.042A = 0.5W

    • Replaced CB connector which fixed the issue

  • 5v outputs 5v5, should be 5v2 based on FB

  • In the future to set low current limit when powering boards

Update from ASC @Jonathan Xie

  • Basically okay, small brained some things but we good?

  • Stated only issue was can’t power steering and drive

LV Power Distribution

  • Quiescent draw of AFEs from main pack

Current sense architecture @Soumav Maiti @Mitchell Ostler

  • Pass relay power through for cutoff

MCI/transition to drive state @Forest Zhou @Mitchell Ostler

Press button to drive, what happens?

  • Enable HSD to MCI

  • MCI triggers precharge start

  • Precharge closes motor contactor once complete

  • MCI reads precharge complete

  • Drive mode indicator comes on in CC

Pack Design

  • Went with module design since we did it for msxiv

  • Device on number of modules first → drives number of series/parallel cells

  • 2x4+1 config

Solar Testing

  • Solar panel connected to MPPT

    • 7x4 stack, 1 mppt, connected to dc load

    • Panel lying flat with protective film

    • dc load set to 25V, 60W as measured at load with no clouds

    • Dropped to 45W with clouds

  • Compared with protective film vs without 100W vs 125W without

    • 56 cells (200W max → 63%)

    • Voc -> 19v

    • Isc → recorded

    • Both MPPTs connected series

  • Alastair Correya (Unlicensed) to update confluence tmrw

  • Tested with batteries as well, similar power to eload

  • Spoke with Elmar, set output pot so that they are proportional to stack sizes
