Electrical Onboarding

Welcome to the electrical team here at MIL! Our team is responsible for much of the team’s electrical systems on the robots. This requires developing special hardware, circuitry, and embedded systems.

Note

If you have not visited with the welcome page and would like a more general overview of MIL, please check that page first!

Join the electrical Slack channel

Like the other teams, we use Slack as our primary communication platform. Our Slack workspace can be found at https://uf-mil.slack.com. Ask someone in MIL to invite you or email ems@ufl.edu.

Once you’re on Slack, be sure to join the #electrical channel. This is where we will post important updates about the electrical team, including meeting times.

Join the electrical GitHub

Unlike the software and mechanical teams (who share a GitHub repository), we use a separate repository for the electrical team. As a result, you will need to be added to this organization. Once you’re in Slack (or you’ve come to the lab), ask an electrical leader to add you to the GitHub organization. The organization can be found here.

We use several different repositories to store information. Typically one repo is used to hold information about one specific electrical design.
