📣 Announcements

  • We are confirmed to compete in AEAC Student Competition in Medicine Hat, Alberta in May 2025!

  • Obstacle avoidance flight test on 9-28

    • Did not run: the buck converter which converts the battery’s 12V to 5V for the pi broke

      • Need to ground test the whole system earlier before flight test day

    • Instead, collected some LiDAR data of particular scenes → Andrew Shum Vyomm Khanna

    • Also started raining, pegasus tuning done halfway, needs more testing

Obstacle Avoidance

Vyomm Khanna

  • Flight testing this weekend to collect data.

IR Camera + detection

Vibhinn Gautam

  • Email received from Dan (Teledyne)

    • We will continue looking for a separate camera as the expected meeting date is too late (November). Some IR cameras have been suggested; we seek to select one by Tuesday Oct 8.

  • Need to start developing soon (start with detection of any color)

  • Other shipments are on the way, no clue where.
