Module Manufacturing Timeline & Plans

Modules are built in sequential order of steps weekly based on working session times, and tasks that cannot be finished during the working sessions will be assigned to members to work on throughout the week.

The steps referred to in this doc are found here: Module Step-by-Step Procedure
This page will have all relevant updates to where we currently are in terms of quantity of modules after it has been run through Donna
- Please send updates of progress if working on modules throughout the week on the Mech-Battery-Box channel on Slack

Assembly Name	Quantity	Dependency

Assembly Name	Quantity	Dependency
Soldered Voltage Taps	24 Double ones (11 Thick, 13 thin) 60 Singles (56 thin, 4 thick)	Nickel Strips 28 AWG wire
Potted Busbar to Top Cell Holder	14	Busbars Top cell holders (completed manufacturing)
Soldered SigmaClad Busbars	13	SigmaClad busbars cut 28 AWG wire
Modules w/ Cells	10	Sets of cells measured All assemblies above
Spot Welded Modules	5 with parallel connections done	All assemblies above
Total Modules	1

Solder voltage taps to busbars that have been potted (step 5)
Continue to pot busbars to the top cell holder (steps 2-3)
- If restrained by the number of clamps, work on bending sigma clad in the meantime (Step 2)
Measure cell voltages (at minimum for 2 modules, so measure 64 cells)

Potting the top cell holders and soldering the voltage tap to busbars should be done throughout the weeks between working sessions whenever possible.

The updated cell voltage tracker can be seen here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C3MhkND7lfTybrjJ4YvUgX5Ml7Qa0hKz4aU-mdojsUQ/edit?usp=sharing

Continue to pot busbars to the top cell holder if not completed
Use as a day to catch up on steps 1-5 (the steps done in the previous working sessions) for newly printed sets if needed
Measure cell voltages (at minimum for 2 modules, so measure 64 cells)
Continue soldering voltage taps if need be
Proceed to steps 6-8 with available parts

Placing the cells in the necessary order (steps 6-8) should be done throughout the week between working sessions depending on if we have the necessary materials (enough cells measured, and enough top and bottom plates)

The updated cell voltage tracker can be seen here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C3MhkND7lfTybrjJ4YvUgX5Ml7Qa0hKz4aU-mdojsUQ/edit?usp=sharing

Use as a day to catch up on steps 1-5 (the steps done in the previous working sessions) for newly printed sets if needed
Spot welding safety walk-through and reviewing how to charge
- Setting up a charge system
Potting modules walk through

Spot welding of the cells in the modules should take place whenever possible throughout the week.

Spot welding the modules continued
Pick up from previous working sessions if need be
Continue potting modules

The rest of this timeline will offer ~14 days for conditional forecasting and any needed adjustments/ delays to the timeline. Which I am expecting to happen.
