Discussion items

ItemWhoNotes
Backplane

Billy Siegener (RIT Student) 

  • Connectors are no longer double stacked because of interference with connecting bars
  • Silkscreen
  • Ready for layout review
Autopilot

Ben Hyman (RIT Student) 


Sensor

Mary Dertinger (RIT Student) et al

  • Done with STM32 pinout
Power

James May (RIT Student) 


Radio

Dante Sivo (RIT Student) 

  • No updates. Working to standardize board silkscreen and other features. 
Software

Aaron Chan (RIT Student) Jonathan Russo (RIT Student) 

  • ADXL,375, LIS3MDL done
  • BMP390 mostly done
Panelizing

Jim Heaney (RIT Student) Yevgeniy Gorbachev (RIT Student) Billy Siegener (RIT Student) 

  • No panelizing with radio - labor intensive impedance matching
  • No panelizing with power module - 2oz outer layers
  • Autopilot and backplane can panelize (4 layer 1oz)
    • 1 each per panel
    • !! MAKE SURE BACKPLANE IS RIGHT WAY UP !!
  • Sensor, SCRAP, Prompt, et al. can panelize
    • 1 each per panel
  • Need extra considerations
    • Mouse bites
    • Mouse bites shouldn't be near traces (at least 1/8")
  • Empty space used for sensor board clones w/ empty copper middle layers to show off



Action items

  • Sensor: Remove interrupt connections
  • Sensor: Route STM32 pinout
  • Sensor: Update DRCe
  • Backplane: Resolve DRC errors
