Hello! Welcome to the 2020 Avionics on boarding page for SSI. If you are confused (as most Frosh are) then please contact Tim Vrakas, Lucy Brown, Akasha Hayden, Hagop Chinchinian, or Ian Chang on Slack. '''No experience at all is required to join.''' We welcome and want to share our knowledge of and love for EE with everyone!


===Getting Started===

=Resources=
Our first meeting will be '''Wednesday, September 22 at 8 PM'''.


===Lab 64===
== [https://ssi-teams.slack.com/ Slack] ==
We work very closely with Lab 64 [https://lab64.stanford.edu/]. Steve Clark, the lab 64 manager, is an important and vital part of our on boarding process this year. Steve, as one of the important pillars of the Stanford EE community, runs many events through lab 64. You can join the mailing list to hear about them here[https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/packard_lab_064].


===Kits===
Slack is the lifeblood of SSI. It is a messaging client that allows everyone within SSI to communicate. There are general channels (like {{slack-channel|rockets}}), which allow us to push out general updates to everyone interested in the rockets team and direct messages which allows one to one or smaller group communication. Notifications are pushed directly to your phone/computer/anything that has internet so that way we can infringe on all of your free time!


We are creating kits to send to people. These kits will contain parts and instructions to create some really cool projects and give you some awesome EE knowledge and experience. These kits include a mini weather station, strain gauge, and magnetometer/IMU. If you are interested in getting a kit, please fill out the first form in the welcome [https://forms.gle/15TUenupsUX7RkZv5].
To see what a list of what channels there are to join, check out the [[Slack Directory]].


===Workshops===
[https://ssi-teams.slack.com/signup '''Join the SSI Slack here.''']


In order to help you work on your kits as well as teach you skills that will be necessary for your future work in SSI, we'll be holding multiple workshops to teach you important EE skills and practices. These workshops will be run by experienced SSI members and also by Steve Clark, the lab 64 lab manager, whose vast EE knowledge is an important part of our Avionics workshop program this year and in the future. The workshop schedule is available here [add link to schedule] and if you miss a workshop they will all be recorded and available here [add link to recordings].
==[https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5or10qu0uhtfqcdqb3knrpn3r8@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles SSI Calendar]==
Home to all of our events across all our teams.


===Community===
== [https://stanfordssi.org/leadership SSI Leadership] ==
Find out who's in charge of things you're interested in and contact them! You can find all of us on Slack as well.


SSI has an awesome EE/Avionics community, and joining SSI's Avionics on boarding is a great way to meet fellow students and older mentors who all love electrical engineering. In addition, because of our collaboration with the lab 64 manager Steve Clark, who is often referred to as the central hub around which the EE community at Stanford revolves, you will get to know the larger EE community at Stanford outside of SSI.
==The Wiki==


===Schedule===
This wiki is a great place to find guides, overviews, and generally useful documentation on SSI projects. Many of the most current plans and docs are in the drive though.
Please feel free to join at any time. It's never too late.


Week 1: Introduction to SSI and Avionics. [September 23, 8 PM]
==[https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0AOLUM8S1U9vqUk9PVA SSI Drive]==


Week 2: Kit Projects Introduction. [TBD]
The drive contains a lot of important documentation for each team. We are trying to put more emphasis on using the wiki as a place for longer-term knowledge storage. If you don't have access, ask in {{slack-channel|SSIT}}


Week 3: Setting up base kit MicroController. [TBD]
== [https://stanfordssi.org/mailing-list The Mailing List] ==
We use SSI General for organization-wide announcements, and it's a good way to hear about events that get lost in the depths of slack (Slack is still by and large the primary mode of communication for most of us though).


Weeks 4-5: Setting up peripherals. [TBD]
== [[End Station III]] ==


Week 6-7: Finishing the kits. [TBD]
End Station III (also known as ES3) can be considered the temple to SSI’s religion, the hub, nerve center, or kernel of all project activity. End Station III houses work sessions, team meetings, and project storage. Keycard access is required to access the building.


Week 8-10: Getting started with Altium. [TBD]

Slack is the lifeblood of SSI. It is a messaging client that allows everyone within SSI to communicate. There are general channels (like #rockets ), which allow us to push out general updates to everyone interested in the rockets team and direct messages which allows one to one or smaller group communication. Notifications are pushed directly to your phone/computer/anything that has internet so that way we can infringe on all of your free time!
