Open nealjack opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

  • [x] U19 pin 1 indicator
  • [x] Better precision resistors for solar charger divider (Input and output regulation)
  • [x] More space monitors and sense resistors
  • [x] More space around charger/regulators
  • [x] U27 wrong package
  • [x] D3 wrong package
  • [x] Add reset button on watchdog

Before you spin Rev D, it would be good to check if the watchdog firing actually turns off and back on the power rails correctly. (Probably a deadbugged chip and some wires)

  • [x] VSOL- must be connected to VBAT-. Watchdog only shuts off battery connection to ground, solar panel could still power device. Change charger GND connections to VSOL-/VBAT-.
  • [x] Battery monitor sense resistor needs to be closer and have better traces to pins
  • [x] R53 and R13 swap
  • [x] LTC2943 requires 3.6+V, so backplane/controller gauge won't work

  • [ ] Think about Load Switches on a per module basis

  • [ ] WHY IS THE RESET BUTTON SO HARD TO PRESS??
