Last Week

• Major part selection finalized
• First Iteration Review of Schematic and PCB Layout for Main ADCS Board complete, yet to review magnetorquer board, but many of the things mentioned can carry over
• VN-100 testing
  • Majority of the testing possible via USB → Laptop is pretty much done, next step is to establish connection to rm46, but need to actually have the connections ready for that
    • Some issues with the header files, still trying figure out how to debug
  • Laid out some ideas for how the connection can work, nothing finalized yet (will need to hash out the options with mech)

• Starting off with option 2, moving to option 3 for flight model
• Firmware updates
  • Made some progress with debugging rm46 issues, now able to flash code
    • Went the windows route
  • Got Linux setup according to CDH guidelines
  • Still working on personal repo?
    • Created branch on orbital github
  • Got some bare-bones code in the works, mostly figuring out the libraries that the VN-100 provides + initial config steps

This Week

• [x] Finish up schematic/layout for main ADCS board
  • [x] Implement changes from Design Review Iteration 1 for both Main ADCS board and Magnetorquer board (the things that cross over)
  • [x] Wrap up any remaining routing, placement, updates to parts/schematic etc. (in parallel with implementing the changes)
    • [x] Part of this is to finalize the connector for the VN-100
• [ ] Hash out the constraints for the magnetorquers (mainly size) with Scott or Hugh, and start to finish up the schematic/PCB layout for that as well (Saksham to review this in depth after constraints have been clarified) @Scott Watson, @Hugh Dawson
• [x] Continue with firmware development for both motor drivers and vn-100
  • [ ] Possibly find a way to test code (not sure if even possible for vn-100 code), or try to create a rough idea/framework on how we can go about testing the code when our hardware is ready (brainstorming some edge cases we might want to try eg. varying PWM signals between large ranges in short periods of time)
• [x] Any remaining part selection left to be done?
