[ Electrical Division : Radar Design ]

Created by [ Jack Marlow], last modified by [ Yrina Guarisma] on Oct 08, 2020

Questions:

1. How many radars should our design be capable of handling? Answer: Two Radars
2. Details about Ethernet switch (power requirements, size, ports, etc
3. Location of circuit (i.e where we will be mounting it)

Circuit Design:

Electrical Questions from meeting July 4:

• Are the devices waterproof or do we need waterproof enclosures?
• Does the Length of the wire affect the integrity of the signal/circuit if we are to wire it from the front of the car to the compute rack? Are there any risks?
• Look into wire between Multimedia Converter and Radars?

PCB Radar Rev0 Meeting Notes (Oct. 7, 2020):

• TO DO Electrical: Add a Silkscreen, Add Test Points,  Only set up for 2 radars, Screw Terminals are okay for connecting the PCB to the Car, once Design done → Send Eagle file to Mechanical
• Mechanical: This PCB will likely require an enclosure, so the PCB will need Mounting Holes (Dimensions TBD), there will have to be a cable running from the PCB to the Rugged
