🍍 Updates this week!

(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)

Empty tasks:

• Neo M.8 (hardy & ayoung)

• SBUS

• Optical Flow sensor

  • Guy: Looking to test the protocol and get communicating with the board asap

    • I’m not in Waterloo regularly but is there a board that I could take home to test?

Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)

ZeroPilot 3

System Manager (

Gordon

)

• Aiming for a “thing” (not yet MVP) to use for SundatSunday

  • Mostly dependency work left to integrate AM and LOS

  • PR will be updated

• Architecture discussion for Friday

• MVP after Nov 27th test

  • Requires TM and PM methods

• Document of post-MVP tasks is up.

Path Manager (neha)

• Basic Structure PR is up

• No new updates

• PM Re Architecture (again 2.0)

Attitude Manager (anni, aidan, jack)

• Fixed issues and merged fixed wing into new arch

• PR up to merge new arch into main

Telemetry Manager (Aadi)

• LCM messages generated and working

• CRC32 checking working

• Need to figure out how LOS Telem will work

• Need to write a bit more code generation stuff to make helper functions because LCM doesnt have support for predefined constant values nor does it have support for uint16_t and then we should be good to go with basic structure PR.

• AFTER PR: work on xbee driver for los telem

• AFTER PR: potentially write a parser that parses over LCM messages and generates either messages themselves OR just generate helper functions that make LCM stuff work better for us (I prefer this for now)

LOS

• Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:

  • Didn’t get a chance to fix the build issues, got busy with other stuff

  • I don’t think LOS has started being tested either

• 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 :

  • Finished up LOS_Link

  • Created https://github.com/UWARG/ZeroPilot-SW-3/tree/testing/LOS_Link branch to test LOS_Link by creating a testing thead to fetch link data

  • Synced up with Kenson and explained LOS, ZP3, PPM, and first steps to test

Systems Tooling & Infra

Infra + Devops

Simulator (SIL)

• Confluence 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)

  • Connected IMU to I2C mock interface

• Ported VN-300 Driver, working on setting up the mock

• Debugging the VN-300 Driver

• Discussed PDB plans with electrical - more discussion to come soon

• Currently working on PPM output

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

•  Christopher Chung LOS Interfaces 03 Nov 2022
•  Yuchen Lin Tuning done 17 Nov 2022

🔭 Things to look out for!

• fw procurement order placed
