Re: FoxPlus-B Conops doc

Hello, I looked through the Fox+ github and was able to find the BUS interface. Looks like they're using these <https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/qsh-1316995.pdf> connectors to interface with the bus. Can anyone confirm that these are correct or point me to where I might find that information? Additionally, does anyone have any info on the placement of the RF inputs and outputs? I have to do some floorplanning, and it would be helpful to know that before starting. See the attached rough placement (scaled proportionally to the actual board). The bus interface document is here <https://github.com/AMSAT-NA/fox-plus/tree/main/systems_engineering/bus_diag…>. Does anyone know which connections we'll be using back to the TMS570 so I can update the schematic? I'm sure we'll discuss tomorrow, but I'll make my own spreadsheet to keep track of it. Thanks!

We know what most of them are and can work out the others. I agree the code should be better documented. Most of them came from the legacy code base.

Pacsat payload on Fox-Plus-B
by Bill Reed 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

I will invite Patrick Thomas to our Thur meetings. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Pacsat payload Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2024 11:57:12 -0400 From: Mike Moore <k4mvm.22(a)gmail.com> To: Bill Reed <bill(a)brconnect.com> CC: Patrick Thomas <p-thomas(a)mindspring.com>, Eric Skoog <eric.n.skoog(a)gmail.com>, Jerry Buxton <vpe(a)amsat.us> Hi Bill, I agree. We have an engineer starting next week, Patrick Thomas, who will be tasked with planning the integration of ASCENT projects into Fox+ payloads. PACSAT will be the first one he will work on. He will produce an ICD. As you know, there are quite a few factors which will need to be taken into account. Power and size, and operational constraints such as the possibility of operation only in sunlight? PACSAT will likely interface with the OBC (the LIHU in Fox-Plus-B) via the PC104. Do you have a CONOPS for PACSAT? CONOPS, System Requirement Specs, and PC104 pinout specs (although it may need updating) for Fox+ can be found on github: https://github.com/AMSAT-NA/fox-plus/tree/main/systems_engineering.

Can anyone explain what each of the settings in config.h do? Should we be able to explain this? Bill

Thanks, Jim. I forwarded your assessment to Rich in Golf to look at the loop issue for Golf too. 73, Burns Fisher, WB1FJ *AMSAT(R) Engineering -- Flight Software* On Wed, Jul 17, 2024 at 6:26 PM Jim McCullers via pacsat-dev < pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org> wrote: > Chris, > > > > Partially working was your comment in the original assessment. > > I did a copy and paste on the subject for continuity. > > > > Jim > > > > > > Yes, very good.

Chris, Partially working was your comment in the original assessment. I did a copy and paste on the subject for continuity. Jim Yes, very good. I agree with the suggested software changes. Note that this code comes from GOLF so they should update it too, if they have not already. If only we had common development and a library! Oh well. You say it is partially working. What part is still broken? 73 Chris On Wed, Jul 17, 2024, 12:15 Bill Reed via pacsat-dev <pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org <mailto:pacsat-dev@amsat.org> > wrote: WOW, good work. Good recommendations. Thanks.
