tue jun 1

  • 8am - 9am
    • continue debug of USE_AAS_SSI_MASTER_TIMER mode for AKENC
  • 9:30 - 12:30 conference call
  • 12:50 - 1pm HH
  • 1pm - 6pm -30
    • continue debug of USE_AAS_SSI_MASTER_TIMER mode for AKENC
    • verify that cmd 123 0 will turn off switching of FETs
    • compare noise from ADCs with SSI
    • complete build 2691 - works with both ADC and SSI mode.
    • work w/GG re installation of firmware
  • discussion w/RC re status

wed jun 2

  • 20 mins - preventative repair of SWIFI
  • 10am - 7:30pm -30 mins
    • kit and deliver components for AKENCxx; create DOCs
    • reinstall all PIC tools on PC.15
    • discuss AKENC3 status with GG and HH
    • work w/GG and H2, find MC firmware version is old.
    • investigate noise on sensor, caused by MC communications


thur jun 3

  • several phone calls earlier in the day.
  • 4:15pm - 11:15p (1 hr)

fri jun 4

  • phone calls in the morning.
  • 1pm-1:30p
  • 3pm - 7pm
    • recode MC firmware for RMB20 + MILE
    • testing on H2
  • 10:10pm - 11:20p
    • retesting MILE, RMB20 code. find there is a timing anomaly due to new compiler removing NOPs. Add optimization detection.


sat jun 5

  • 8:50a - 3pm
    • discussion w/HH re status, BV
    • investigate MILE encoder - seems to be 10 bits only - output remains high after 10th rising edge. - expected 16 bits
    • [AMD256D01] 1.2uS min clock period, 0.6us min high,low, monoflop 16-22uS
    • discuss betaangle calculation with RC, ZH. my test code beta_test.m doesn't seem to give meaningfull results.
    • want to invert beta_angle calculation to go from AAS to motor rotations
    • specify calibration constants required, along with method to obtain them for calb fixture.
    • discuss calibration tables, EEPROM loging with GG.

sun jun 6

  • 1 hr ; study the beta_calc problem with ZH

mon jun 7

  • 50min - re-run beta test using theta0 = motorangle/210; email on same

tue jun 8

  • 45 min re project status w/RC

wed jun 9

  • 12:30 - 9:45pm -3 hrs
    • contacted L-tronics re status of hardware
    • experiment with SPI hardware for SSI slave
    • CA calls about wire
    • RC calls about imped offset
    • ED calls about operation of VLIST, general questions about dataport interface.
      • we need to rewrite class V2 packet to not read 512 bytes (hard to be real time!)
      • would like to write an data source aggrigator
    • receive AKENCxx PCAs; find that not all components in kit and BOM were populated; fixed AKENC3m
    • RC/CA calls about RMB20 resolution


thur jun 10

  • 7:45a
    • testing SPI SSI slave.


sat jun 12

  • 1 hr
  • 1pm - 7:15pm
    • asssit with statemachine,
    • assist with benchtest motor testing
    • develop calibration program for hardstops and theta theta table.
