S20 Task List - Electrical

Acronym + Abbreviations page

Simulation tools for PCB layout (SI-PI, PowerDC, x-talk) (check with altium)

Looking at ways to increase assembly, design and implementation reliability → look for failure points

Board encapsulation and coating ← evaluate options and see whats effective plus feasible for rework needs [James CP]

Shipping everything to the correct respective person (e.g. DCDC+parts from josh to micah, other equipment from josh to liam)

Make summarized documentation for how to use A365 effectively

Move tasks to Jira and start new sprint (Micah Bai/Aashmika)

Board vibration mounting ← researching into the best way to mount our boards

Update PD/create a fan control board to power and PWM control power box fans and driver fans → also DCDC fan on heat sink

Evaluate options for fan heat sink on DCDC: maybe have IC with thermistor control on DCDC itself (similar to used on carrier), or have feedback on PD control fan

Test the DCDC transient analysis → micah has access to batteries and DC Load → need to write test plan and outline test points

Write test plan to test noise sources to driver controls → specify all the noise sources we expect, frequencies and attenuation goals [Tanish]

Look into pedal having a different/modified measurement system for brake angle [Akshayan]

Look at driver controls mounting plan with Adrian from interiors

Look into measuring the temperature of raspberry pi then possibly implementing fan control (to save power) [Akshayan]

Find better motor documentation → email mitsuba/nomura(vendor)

Discuss final fan choice with Kevin

Look into latch circuit simplification [James Jo]
