Objective: determine mounting locations for hardware PCB’s
Subsystem Discussions
Auxiliary Battery:
Currently planning on using 10S NiMH batteries (10 in series, electrically)
NiMH Cell: 1.0 V discharged, 1.2 V nominal, 1.45 V max
46 x 22 x 22 mm per cell, so a 2x5 mechanical arrangement would be 110 x 92 x 22 mm, or 110 x 46 x 44 mm total size
Lights (on canopy):
Need to have 1 blinking red light to indicate a BPS emergency (by regs)
Need 1 white light as a headligd
Can maybe put the two next to each other, but have to discuss with Jasmine Thind
Telemetry (antennas)
Antennas can’t be placed under solar panels (RF blocking)
will most likely be included
Rear Frame
Mounting Location Discussions
Tentative Board Mounting Locations
Section | Boards / Systems Mounted | Location | Size (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
Front Enclosure | Aux Battery, UV Cutoff, PD#1 | Above the front section of the chassis, above the front wheel | 260 x 400 x 86 |
Dashboard | Centre Console, Jump-start post, Rear-view LCD | In front of steering wheel | 440 x 110 x 110 |
Rear Enclosure | PD#2, MCI, Motor Controller, Rasp Pi (telemetry) | Above the chassis | |
Battery Bay | BMS, Current Sense, AFE (x3) | Above battery box (connectors removed battery when impounding) | |
Canopy | Lights (BPS, Brakes), Antennas (Wifi, LTE, GNSS) | Canopy (connectors are removed when lifting) | |
Tail Enclosure | Tail-lights, Cameras | Rear-most section of aerobody |
