• Attached the mount onto the arm last week. Currently, the lidar and OFS are attached and wired up thanks to Mena Azab . (The wires are just

• Some things to improve on:

  • Slight wobbling of the part that slides into the tube because the hole is slightly big. Just need to change the hole diameter and reprint to find the sweet spot.

  • Might be challenging to remove the Clevis pin because it is directly under the tube (but it wasn’t too bad when I tried it). I can redesign if it’s too inconvenient but I don’t see it being a huge issue. If everyone thinks I should redesign so that the clevis pin should be perpendicular to the tube length-wise then I could but it might add more weight to the mount ;/

  • Need to add more space for the wires (it still fits but would be nicer to have more space) and the FPV camera since the plate is kind of close to the tube.

• Tom Chiu To add updates!

• Nolan Haines Mena Azab Michael Botros to update who was assigned to this

• Neel Patel Parker Lawrence-Valeriani Please write update!

  

  Neel:

• General layout idea revised

  • Navigation light static red on left, green on right

  • Beacon lights, red strobing all 4 corners for 360 visibility

  • Anti-collision lights, white strobing lights all 4 corners for 360 visibility

  • will need to discuss with mechanical where they could be placed near the motors

  • Possibly in a position so wires can go throught the arms with the controller in the middle

  • any concerns with soldering directly to LEDs

• Power archetecture

  • Spec LED’s that take 12V and total less than 2 amps

    • Possibly use the PDB 12V which can supply 3A

      • currently only see the VTX which draws 250 mA

    • Could also use another BEC is required which can supply upto 12V, 5A

• LED Spec questions

  • what distance of visibility do we need day/night, does this need to be researched?

  • What waterproof rating is required

Parker:

• Utilizing a 555 timer to achieve strobing

  • Used in its astable configuration so it’s functioning like an oscillator

  • Duration of ON vs. OFF time is easily chosen by selecting resistor values (ON time must be less than off).

• Questions

  • How long do the ON and OFF states need to be?

• Farris Matar

• Ready for firmware for three assembled boards

• Could order a final optional component, waiting for an ali express order to tag along on to avoid shipping fees, low priority
