During January 2025, Alex Caliska focused on improving the reliability of the precharge board within the SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems repository. Using KiCad for schematic capture and PCB design, Alex identified and corrected schematic errors, updated footprints, and revised net definitions to ensure proper connectivity and safe power-up behavior. The work addressed a critical design flaw, reducing the risk of field failure and enhancing the board’s safety margins. All changes were captured in a single, well-documented commit, providing clear traceability for future audits. While the scope was limited to one bug fix, the solution demonstrated careful analysis and thorough documentation.
