  3. Hardware Engineering Mentors • Primary Mentor: • Nathan Herman • Secondary Mentors: • Brad Ferguson • Matt Larsen • Nathan Carlson • Dan Skenzich • Manager: • Frank Artner

  4. Projects Worked On • X2e Variant creation, Prototyping, and Testing • U-Blox GPS Python Scripting and GPS Simulation • WVA Daughter Board Assembly • X5RProof of Concept, Assembly, and Homologation Testing • X4/X4H Cellular Modem replacement and cellular Pre-Scan using CMU200 • Tank Monitor LED Testing • Other little projects around the office for people

  5. X2e CADStar Variants • Worked with Dan to get the XBP24CZ7PIS-I085 added into the Digi Libraries in Cadstar • Created an Xbee Pro variant for both X2e with and without Wi-Fi • Worked with Dan and Van to get the ENG and MFG files into Pending • Filled out a Prototype Request for the -04 variant (US with Wi-Fi) to do collocation testing

  6. X2e Collocation Testing • After Prototyping, did a collocation test on both an -04 variant and a -02 variant • Report the information to Brad and David so he could move forward with the ECO

  7. U-Blox GPS and Python Scripting • Worked with a U-Blox GPS engine and wrote a python script for reading the buffer • Used the script to test if we were picking up valid coordinates

  8. WVA Daughter Board Assembly • Started with the bare PCB and soldered on all of the components • Got graded by the Nathan’s on my work and what I need to look for

  9. X5R • Assembled the proof of concept for Nathan Herman • Acquired MAC information • Mounted the X5R onto the sheet metal • Installed the SIMs • Worked with Will to create the homologation script for Lenny to test with

  10. X4/X4H • For the X4s and X4H, installed cellular modems • Did CMU200 Testing on a few X4H’s to make sure they passed testing at Digi

  11. Tank Monitor/IDF Formatting • Worked with Matt to wire up the 55m so that we could test our new container • Did LED testing to come up with an alternative to Red/Green Bi-color LED • Worked with the mechanical team with getting mounting holes imported into ProE

  12. Key Learning's • Documentation for everything • i.e. variants, DVT testing • Asking Questions and Using Resources • Developing a learning process that works for you • Staying energized and enthused

  13. Question and Answer
