My accomplishments this week:
- Made significant progress towards refining revision 1 of our project’s PCB (includes separation into 2 PCBs). I am on schedule w.r.t. getting revision 1 in an orderable state; I aim to order it in two week’s time, but at this rate I am likely to order it before then. Here are some sample photos on this point:
- The layout of the assembly:
- Individual boards:
- Selected commit history (dellagd is me committing from one of the FMS workstations):
- Tested revision 0; SPI communication between XBee and picocom confirmed to work
- Received Xbee wi-fi modules
Deliverables for next week:
- Prototypical layout of revision 1 of the board stack-up for review next weekend+
- Settling on mounting hole positions
- Findings from doing a range test with Xbee wi-fi modules.
