I have been looking at the tasks that I think we would need to
complete
if we were to fly with UND in 2025.
For our meeting this Thursday I would like to answer 2 questions:
Remaining Pacsat tasks as of 4/22/2024
Current Software Tasks:
Software for monitor and control of 70cm power amplifier
Host IHU telemetry interface
Testing
Current Hardware Tasks:
7 components that do not fit layout
Redesign power system and add to layout
( Vsys = 5.6v Buss voltages = 5.0v, 3.3v, and 1.2v)
Correct I2C connection to temperature sensor
Select crystal and add to layout
Correct layout for T601
Power plane issues for Power Amp and 5V regulator
Test 70cm Power Amp circuit
Correct preamp bias issues
Test receivers and determine differential vs single ended RX
inputs
Layout was done for Rev C schematic. Add Rev D changes
Other tasks for a Flight Ready design:
Measure power requirements
Identify configuration changes for flight
Create Interface Control Document
