Project Status

Week of 03-27-19
Project is: Behind Schedule
Issues / Extra progress from last week:
​

  • TIG welder ran out of Argon over the weekend and delayed the completion of the battery enclosure

  • While testing motor driver circuit, let all the smoke out of the Particle Argon

    • This sets us further back because we need to modify code for a different microcontroller​

Accomplished this week:
Battery

  • Each 18650 battery was measured at 3.59 volts

  • Spot welding and assembly of the battery cells is complete

  • Fun facts:

    • 624 spot welds​

    • 17 feet of 1.5mm x 8mm nickel strip

  • BMS wiring was performed during modular battery frame assembly

  • Voltage after assembly measured 46.3V

Other Electrical

  • Began writing code for the Freescale microcontroller

  • Began new circuit design

Goals for next week:

  • Complete code for Freescale microcontroller

  • Complete new circuit design

  • Test new circuit design​​

  • Machine motor mounts
