General HW Update : Tasks assigned at working sessions, give a general update for each category
BMS : Working on Improved AFEs to increase discharge rate, can configure discharge time to be more flexible, work with Firmware on this
Precharge validated and works, co-op is helping with redesigning current Carrier Board
Planning a time to do Solar Testing after Midterms/Potentially vehicle testing sometime in November before potential snow kicks in
PCS Testing will be happening tonight
Coordinating HV Supply use with other teams?
Will be starting to work on PVDR/VDR on Elec for a early submission, co-op to assist with this
Elec Mech Integration Interiors : Board layouts(Center Console is being reworked)
General FW Update: Helping new members with their tasks + MS16 repo setup
Reworked pedal to improve responsiveness (Heard you had to push ~30-40% bfr you get any output, should be better now)
Watchdog/backup register drivers. More bootloader infrastructure
Hardware-in-the-loop discussions. Likely going to architect one this term (After midterms)
Working with HW on this. It should be very scalable considering our car uses the same STM on every board
RTOS and HAL drivers are added to new repo
Mechanical
Conversations through Private Messages
Review of Mech based funding requests

MS15.5:
Finished making adjustments and reprinting inlet, need to reprint outlets (accidentally thrown out)
Enclosure removal tool (4 members) - meeting on 10/30/2024 from 8:30-9:15pm to go over design and approve the MS15.5 removal tool for manufacturing
MS16:
Researching cells - Excel sheet updates in-progress. Cell testing will start next term
MS16 Enclosure ideation - gave rough overall scope of design requirements for MS16 enclosure, (2 total), ideating early-waterproofing concepts
Thermal sims - ideating test procedure comparing the relationship between the number of cells in parallel in relation to temperature. Considered manufacturing modules with different parallel counts and recording temperature produced in a closed-enclosure. Meeting with Shem Kim and Vaibhav Bommalapalayam after midterms to discuss further
Module root cause analysis - corrosion occurrences on over-discharged cells - will email profs for help with root cause analysis
** FYI new 3d-printing channel under mechanical for all things 3D printing related

Aden - A confluence page on things like NDA policy/confidentiality would be good I think : would like some thoughts on this
