Cindy Status Report 10/19/19
This week I worked with Deepak on the STM32 timers to trigger the ADC. We verified that indeed PWM was working and decided that we have to use one timer to triggeer another. Timer synchronization is more difficult than we thought, as we are using one timer to trigger another, and the second one has to start at the exact same time to be able to trigger the ADC. We had to fiddle around with the prescaler of the timer and center align mode, but the timers had a noticeable drift the longer we ran the problem. We will work on fixing that next week.
The cells for our battery pack also got here this week, and I have started looking into a preliminary pack assembly and how we can connect it to the final UPMC power board. There needs to be a lot of safety features before we can run the motor controller of battery power, so I have been doing a lot of reading on that as well.
