Components Removed In Spring 2020
Prior to spring 2020, the PCB was used by both CUBike and CUSail, resulting in many parts that were not necessary for the functioning of the bike. In Spring 2020, a major overhaul was started in part to remove many of these unnecessary parts.
Other Components Only Used by CUSail
Sail Motor
The old PCB contained outputs for the sail motor and bike motor. Since the bike is not a sailboat, the sail motor outputs were removed.
Sail Power
Similar to the sail motor, only the bike power output is necessary.
H-Bridges
Xbee Pro
The Xbee Pro was used in conjunction with CUSail's remote controller. The bike uses a different controller.
