🍍 Updates this week!

(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)

Empty tasks:

• Neo M.8 (hardy & ayoung)

• SBUS

• Optical Flow sensor

  • Guy: Spent some time looking at code on ardu pilot, first step would be to get communication over the MSP protocol, once thats done figure out the data structs

Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)

• bricked 3 nucleo boards - cannot reflash, one or two of them have smoked

ZeroPilot 3

System Manager (anni, Gordon, Aadi)

• Skeleton Framework up for System Manager (in branch <>)

• So many Discussions

  • Decisions have been made and Documentation will be updated here and here.

• Progress on Mode definitions

• Progress on thread creation and murder

Path Manager (neha)

• Basic Structure PR is up

• Pls I think we need a ZP meeting

• PM Re Architecture (again 2.0)

Attitude Manager (anni, aidan, jack)

• Jack has taken control of AM

• Correcting old fixed-wing PR

• AM/New_Arch almost complete - connecting a few things

Telemetry Manager (Aadi)

• Telemetry manager RFC in, prototype being started.

LOS

• PRs are (prematurely) merged!

  • Link, Actuators, Pos are merged but still need some work.

  • .Cmake files are moved to specific boardfile folders

  • Each boardfiles package now have their own driver_params file.

• Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:

  • Apparently, I can build but I also at the same time cannot build

  • Need to figure that out before making any more changes

  • Once that is figured out, will tackle making the interface a singleton and fix up a few more PR changes

• Anthony Bertnyk LOS Telem: Updated to use newly defined message formats. Will PR tonight.

• Mostafa Hussein LOS Pos:

• Hailey Doleweerd LOS Comms:

• Christopher Chung LOS_Link :

  • PR merged.

  • Need to fix one thing: where to initialize the driver within LOS?

Systems Tooling & Infra

Infra + Devops

Simulator (SIL)

• Start simulator by adding sensors and placing down relevant blocks

• Created confluence page for resources on building the simulator (and learning relevant information)

• Come up with more *detailed* roadmap/flow chart of simulink modelConfluence page now updated with explaination of simulator flowchart and more resources

• Try importing mesh of (current or previous) WARG aircraft into scenario visualization (scenario visualization is what visualizes the flight)

• Create 3D map of competition area using Google Maps and other tools to change enviroment of simulator / scenario visualization

• Playing with Simulink to simulate flight of generic fixed-wing model (trying to figure out force calculations, it spins like crazy in scenario visualization)

HIL (Hardware In the Loop) Controller

• Jack Greenwood

• I2C mock interface up (needs testing)

  • need to “connect” mock interface with bmx driver

• VN driver - UART? (YES)

  • Fixed Chris' driver on firmware-prototype. Need to test it.

• Need to meet with electrical to discuss PDB sometime in future

Tracking Antenna (kevin, yuchen)

• Doing research on antennas

• Trying to get a rough draft done for mechanical to look at by this week

• Tracking Antenna Project

Neo M.8 & Airspeed

• Ayoung & Hardy

Logging

• Stanley finishing SD Card driver.

• Characteristic testing to determine how much current draw, scared about 150mA specification from the data sheet, but got about 60mA from testing which is within tolerance

✈ Priorities next week:

• TUNE Phoenix

😅 STUCK!

✅ Action Items
