Nickcos05
Nick Costanzo developed foundational hardware for the SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems repository, focusing on relay board schematics, precharge circuits, and PCB layouts over a three-month period. He applied skills in PCB design, schematic capture, and 3D modeling using KiCad and STEP to modernize relay board designs, improve manufacturability, and enhance power management and fault indication. His work included creating new schematics with robust protection and drive components, refining component footprints, and updating 3D models to support reliable remote switching and automation. These contributions established scalable hardware baselines, reduced rework risk, and accelerated production handoffs for future system deployment.

3 Commits • 2 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 hardware work focused on establishing scalable PCB foundations for USC-Electrical-Systems and delivering a new Relay Board schematic. Key outcomes include creation of the initial RML-26 PCB and KiCad project, followed by refinements to RML and VIL footprints and component placements to improve manufacturability and reliability. A new Relay Board schematic was designed with diodes, resistors, capacitors, relays, MOSFETs, a voltage regulator, mounting holes, and a connector, advancing production readiness. These efforts reduce rework risk, accelerate iteration cycles, and set a solid hardware baseline for testing and deployment.
