Sponsorship from molex + others will be postponed

• in the mean time, we have to finish the molex order page, Josh Rong Aashmika Mali pls help out

More documentation

• with the updates, we really have to up our documentation game in the following especially

  • we need to take the time to write detailed test plans that will be extensive enough to cover anything we can think of and be implemented by someone that did not design the board

  • design decisions that break apart schematics and layout into pictures and explain why certain components and configurations were used

Call candor on monday

• Micah Black or someone on sponsorship, we need to figure out when the boards will be shipped back to us, they need to reply

Look into other manufacturers

• Micah Black or Pei Liang Guo can we look at sourcing from a different manufacturer or going through JLC (i.e. check lead times through jlc, pcb7 and other companies then start looking at US companies)

• we need to know for our next two board sendouts

Push for configuring python scripts for hardware validation

• the current bay bench computers already have scripts to interface with the DMM, power supply, load etc. (lapequipment.py)

• when making test plans, we should configure the scripts to make sure that they we can test gpios and things like ADC readings on our own

• Look at the board validation repo on git for more resources

• Also look at keysight programming guides for the instruments we use - apparently they are very extensive

Boards that will be sent out on Monday

• BMS current sense

• Lights driver

• Power selection

• lights LED board

• Battery module connector

• DCDC

Boards that will be sent out after validation

• Rear/front power dist

• MCI

• BMS Carrier

• Steering Interface (small fixes)

Avoid using HV Battery and MCI relays form MS12

• Apparently the contact polarity was aligned incorrectly, so the relays must have degraded a lot

• we need to buy new ones unfortunately

Digikey purchases will continue

• to meet our deadlines, we will continue our purchases AS NECESSARY

Create a page for board sendout

• Like Micah Black has been doing, we need to make a page and upload the gerbers and corrected BOMs for monday’s sendout

Make Jira tickets and transfer of tasks

Micah Black we need to make more tasks that can be done of campus and MAKE SURE that we are documenting all the work thats being done on Jira so its much easier to manage
