General updates
Flight recap!
VTX on pegasus worked, but OSD cut out.
likely due to noise in cables (cables too long)
LTE cut out a couple times, did not reconnect.
trying to fix: disable cell tower switching, etc.
If need be, RFDs as backup
Auto landing worked on houston!
Pathing (waypoint upload to mission planner) worked on houston
Propulsion + Control
Action items / blockers:
Check LED board progress
Ordered XT30 for gemini board, don’t know when it will arrive
LED board discussion this week
Updates:
< Decision documentation >
Mech | ||
Electrical | Batteries Ordered | 8x 6200mAh 6S 60C LiPo batteries have been ordered and should arrive this week |
LED board | follow up on this next week re: signal integrity? | |

Mech | Houston Rangefinder Mount |
Temporary mount exists Design exists, can get this on Houston in the next 2 weeks (requires also editing landing gear) |
Electrical | Rangefinder Harness |
|
EFS | OFS Config | Cameron configured it last week before flight test
Any more sensors that need to be configured this week? no |
Autonomy |
Video System
Action items / blockers:
Updates:
Mech | Mounts |
VTX mount being worked on We need a new mount that has both cameras nice and close together to reduce wire runs. Will discuss in mech meeting. |
Electrical | VTX Wiring |
|
EFS | OSD config | Heard OSD got cut off in the flight test
|
Autonomy | LTE Communication |
to discuss more in auto meet. probably will use jpeg for image encoding CV camera works |
Command + Telem
Action items / blockers:
Updates:
Mech | Gemini case | someone is working on this | |||||
Electrical | ELRS Gemini PCB | XT30 still has not arrived yet. Reordered more connectors | |||||
EFS |
|
| Still no on assigned. Probably
|
|
| I think we had no progress since last week regarding ELRS or gemini
| |
Autonomy | Pathing | Pathing works as expected on Houston during flight test TODO: Integrate auto landing with pathing Last command in sequence was return to launch point. We need to use the auto-land sequence. Ideally run this during next weekend’s flight test (comp sim)! |
Airframe - General
Action items / blockers:
Waterproofing, new cabin, seats, cargo area
Updates:
< Decision Documentation >
Mech | Pegasus 2.0 |
^ last week Cabin being redesigned Center block and arm connectors are done Assembly beginning soon! Waiting on landing gear redesign Waterproofing to discuss in mech meet Conall Kingshott |
Electrical | Schematics | Pegasus schematic cleaned up, comments left by Daniel were addressed. Mena will continue to update schematic with sensors.

Mech | Improvements |
Question for EFS:
|
Electrical | custom PCB | needs to be reviewed |
Arduino antenna | Nathan Green made an arduino tracking antenna PCB Nolan Haines reviewing it a bit Nice | |
EFS | Arduino Tracking Antenna |
GPS working well EFS will test the yagi. how to test it well?
omnis vs yagis swap out completely. then mix and match to see what happens. (optimize it!) yagis - show how well tracking works omnis - baseline. goal is to be better than just the omnis |
Autonomy |
General Updates
Autonomy Image Labeling Social? - tabled for now
@mech to run weights/ barbie equivalents in the cabin! Smile Khatri Alison Thompson
Flight test schedule
Comp sim 1 - Mar 23
make sure everyone’s clear on how competition should work
make sure things like checklists, general workflow, task distribution
run through mock task 1 and task 2
probably will switch up the flightline members for fun
checklists should be optimized https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FT/pages/2465169442/2024-03-23+Comp+Sim+1#Checklists
Nathan Green Yuchen Lin heavily participate please!
end-to-end test weekend after this.
to ensure all subsystems are working the way we predict.
Comp sim 2 - April 6
Nail it down harder
Comp sim 3 - next term
rock and roll
Want to run tests in as many conditions as possible.
hot weather
terrible weather
rain if waterproofing is working ok (kinda risky though)
comp sim where you simulate certain failures: LTE dropout, device failure, telem drop, etc. nail down all the contingency plans. break out the redundant systems
important to simulate this with flight line team.
auto landing
pathing
vtx system
