LASSI |
We intend to implement a power supply board for the Illini-sat3 to perform among others the following functions: a) Provide means for on-board battery charging, monitoring and temperature control. b) Provide regulated dc bus power rails to support on-board instrumentation and control equipment. c) Provide protective features for the system to maximize resiliency of the power supply in case of fault conditions, this will include a watchdog timer which can reset the controller in the even of a fault. d) Implement CAN-bus protocol for control aspects of the system using a Texas Instruments Hercules series TMS570LS1227. *(this component was chosen to be utilized in a previous iteration of the project and will be used (as recommended by our point of contact) unless we discover a reason to specifically change this. **Note we have been coordinating with Mr. Channing Philbrick to develop this project and have been instructed to proceed directly to the RFA process in lieu of web board discussion. Additionally, we have tentatively scheduled an appointment to clarify more specific requirements for the project. |
