Connectors #25

Closed rodneyosodo closed 2 years ago

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Why are we using this connector, can't we use standard connectors?

It faces downwards allowing for easier connection of wires to the telemetry PCB. Could you expound on what you mean by a standard connector?

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Can't we just just the normal male header pins then we can have them either straight or right angled

kimanimichael commented 2 years ago

We can have them angled. Either male or female.

Why is H4 at the middle?

What is H2 for?

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Add 12v connectors for the camera

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Add 5v and 3.3v connector for telemetry

kimanimichael commented 2 years ago

Why is H4 at the middle?

H4 is just a jumper to complete battery power to the board as explained in the other issue. It's position doesn't really matter.

kimanimichael commented 2 years ago

What is H2 for?

It's a feature that allows for delay when setting up on the rocket.

Add 5v and 3.3v connector for telemetry

+3.3V already added. You need 5V too? What for?

For WS2812

It's a feature that allows for delay when setting up on the rocket.

Why can't this delay be done in the software as we would have more than 1 minute between arming the avionics and firing ignition

Then why is it at the centre and not at the periphery?

kimanimichael commented 2 years ago

Power goes from the screw terminal to the jumper and then to the rest of the circuit. Do you have a technical reason for having it at the periphery? If so, kindly post it here.

I still want us to have a testing mode that does not have the delay. This will be done using both software and hardware.

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

No specific reason. I thought it was a convention

Okay
