Life Updates:
Lakshay - Saw Joker (not the movie, a guy on the bus dressed like the Joker). Did hardware arch design review
Nathan - fell off metro bike in front of a crowd… -100 aura. Dont push the front break, push the back one
Michael - dropped $30 on a rubik’s cube because I have fallen down the rabbit hole again
Phoenix - i voted!

Org Updates | We had hardware arch review last Sunday and got some good feedback from the alumni. We will at some point be explaining some of our hardware arch design decisions to everyone after we’ve evaluated the feedback form the review. |
What you got done last workday | Nathan - Found the magic component, isolated modulators. I have almost finished analyzing the previous Amperes board and have a list of possible chips and configurations that they can be in. I appreciated the hardware presentation as it gave more insight on the relationship between peripheral, leader and daughterboards. Clark - Researched op amps and ADCs. Found ones that work best for the leader board. Set up some of the power supply decoupling capacitors. Phoenix - tested 50% PWM generation on Nucleo and began non-blocking PWM code. |
Will you be attending workday | |
End of workday goal | Nathan - Create a functional diagram of what components I have and need for the Amperes board on KiCAD and start reading data sheets to try to connect some of the these components together. This includes the ADC, DC/DC converter, butterworth filter (that I might not need to do anymore as there are built in filters in the chips) and figuring out how to transmit the data to the peripheral board. Clark - Finish setting up power supply decoupling for the ADC and hopefully complete the preliminary schematic. Phoenix - write c file in a reviewable state |
