Molly, Gwyn, Sam, and Eric
We had assumed that components should have a rated current no more than mA above the requirement. Fred says that components can source 2, 3, or even 4 times the required current as long as they can still operate with low current. We had assumed that 50mV max ripple was not okay when the requirement was 35mV. Fred says that 50mV max ripple corresponds to about 35mV typical ripple, which is fine.
We want to finalize our list of proposed integrated circuits (ICs) at today’s meeting and send this list to Fred/Keith Molly and Eric are working on HK circuit design: sensors output voltages corresponding to T and I while DC-DC converter output voltages are scaled and buffered, these analog voltages are input into several MUXs, which can be read by the ADCs in a PIC and transmitted to the GUI
Sam is researching our options for ±6V converters; we will have to use multiple chips, since the part we need doesn’t seem to exist Gwyn is looking into I 2 C: this is how we’re linking the GUI adjustable voltage setting to the circuit
Schematic > PCB Testing plan for circuit components Program PIC, interface with GUI I 2 C interface: outputting GUI-controlled voltages to circuit GUI- make an easy-to-read table that constantly updates housekeeping values, make the voltage controls save to a file Website stuff- make background information, team page, add schematic to work section
