Carryover from Fall

Winter Tasks

  • BMS Full (AFEs)

  • MCI 

  • High Voltage Testing

    All onsite tasks:

    • Motor Sense Validation (Hall-effect issues)

      • Pending Tritium or Iowa State University

    • High voltage testing for mockup (FW & HW)

      • Waiting for Motor Setup

    • Cell balancing + BMS Testing

      • Requires FW & HW

    • Assemble final versions of most boards (excl. AFE, DCDC, Charger

    • Solar

    • Displays

    • Telemetry

    • Strategy Integration (remote: writing, onsite: Rasp-pi → BMS carrier)

    • 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 (February - April)

      • 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

    • Enclosures

    • 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

    See full documentation here

    • BOM Consolidation
    • ASC BMS VDR

    • Remote
    • Probably won’t be in Waterloo, also does not have equipment

    Kristen
    (Co-op)

    • Harnesses?

    • On Site
    • Grunt work (smile) that requires limited hardware knowledge

    Ricky
    (School)

    • Onsite Training?

    • Onsite


    • Other On SIte Members: Janvi, Ricky L, Odianosen, Vinai, Wyatt

    Onboarding

    • Not running hardware tutorials from previous terms

    • Current onboarding content covers board design but we should create resources for on-site work (videos = recordings on Zoom + PPTs)

      1. Assembly - Aashmika

      2. Reflow - James

      3. How to use equipment (testing, soldering, etc.) - Liam

      4. Troubleshooting - Nita

      5. Harnessing

        1. Pool resources in a deck + go through video,

      6. Testing Firmware (using babydriver, etc.)

      7. Tour of entire bay → ping core channel (organize a video → Kristen)

        1. Safety in the workspace

    Test Plans

    • More extensive test plans?

      • James to possibly revisit precharge

    Tasks for Off-site Members

    • Mockup Diagram task force

    • Onboarding material?

      • For returning members: Component investigations + specs (what they do, what they provide in a circuit, how to find one that fits project requirements) - to help new members, and help documentation

    • Investigations

      • A365 packaging tool

    • Library Management

      • Figure out how to get rid of duplicates and know which components get updated

    • Research tasks…

      • Not priority for new members since we are on critical path

    Expectations for Next Term

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