Apogee general (OUTDATED)

(NEW PAGE AT Controls)

Action items:

Structures:

  • CAD both versions of the airbrake system (gear and linkage)

    • Material selections

  • Start working on test platform

  • CFD

 

Avionics:

  • Decide if we want a PCB(We are doing a PCB)

  • Research what other teams have done

  • Figure out code

  • Talk to irec people about future implementation

  • Figure out if we need external ram

  • pcb design

  • Find components: Barometer[only using barometer for implementation of air brakes], microcontroller, accelerometer (teensy 4.0), external ram soldered on (maybe), sd storage.

  • Wiring diagram

  • Learn zephyr ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - GM

 

design requirements:

Microprocessor for running simulations and deploying airbrakes
Servo with sufficient power to control airbrakes
Read data from IMU, altimeter, and sensor mod
Store data to flash
STM32 chip
Figure out if we can get enough current
Ability to do RS485
ADC for load cell
LC filter
power from backplane
Ethernet interface
run a test on a L2 rocket
silkscreen of a smiley face
Minecraft font on PCB (NO COMIC SANS)

 

L2 test design requirements:

test basic functionality of airbrakes
create a power supply capable of emulating power mod
implement design into an L2 with single event reco

 

Things we need to know

peak current draw of servos
how long will the servos be running
weight requirements

 

RS485 candidates:

Link 1

Link 2

 

code stuff tbd
