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
