Mechanical

• status of both task 2 solutions

  • will be done this weekend

• Houston Motors status

  • Haven’t been ordered. Waiting for decision if we are switching to 6s or keeping 3s and what new form factor of motor should be

  • Will order Dshot ESCs too

Autonomy

• what is plan for making the system work next term?

• what are min viable product milestones?

• when do we want to deliver minimum viable system?

• IR camera driver and detection almost merged in, 90% of the way there

• IR camera settings: Max ISO is 64 and doesn’t look too grainy

• MAVLink communication to ground is in progress

  • FTP has some hope (can see files, but need some more work on reading)

  • StatusText has been debugged and working (on sim)

• Pegasus killswitch and UART setup complete (although killswitch not set on controller)

...

• ssd status

  • done ee-wise - it worky :))))

  • We will probably validate some more next term so we have extras

• water board status

  • assembled, validated, and tested, handed-off to mech

• programming board

  • will be rlly useful for led board validation

  • will be assembled sometime before end of term - as soon as digikey components come in (likely tomorrow or monday)

• No more bring up sessions this term - what has been done is where we are standing for this term

  • Ryan and Kenny still onsite and no finals if something urgent is needed

• We plan to get our next board order out beginning of next term.

  • Comp relevant boards

    • Water controller rev2 is the main target here - one more channel for driving valve if needed

      • Question for mech - does it look like we are still gonna need this?

    • Pi interface rev C

• board bring up plan for next term

  • Water controller rev2 when it comes in

  • LED controller rev 4 - didnt end up happening this term

  • Tracking Antenna Rev 2

  • 6S Servo module rev 2

  • More Single servo drivers

...

• ssd status

  • prototype working; see https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1243031840437305496/1310373318515359827

  • refinements to be done (code cleanup, documentation, etc.)

• tracking antenna working status

  • works well in simulation

  • works less well irl for some reason (yaw tracking is inconsistent, pitch tracking is unresponsive)

  • team to work on debugging today (28 November 2024)

• led boards

  • prototype working, see https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1275152642691039306/1311743653491904544

  • no CAN integration on the software side yet

• Tracking Antenna Omer Sajid

  • Still being worked on. Yaw is somewhat tracking. Pitch is being worked on.

  • Works really well in the mission planner simulation

  • One of two things is most likely the cause of the issue

    • Drone is giving bad data

    • Data isn’t being processed correctly

  • To debug, we took the raw UDP data from both the simulation and the drone testing, going to look over, see where the issue is.

Flight Testing

• what are we flying this weekend?

  • Plan is only Pegasus as Houston motor issues and replacements have not been ordered

  • Daniel proposed not flying this weekend and waiting for Dec 14th flight test to test landing gear

• what needs to be done to be ready for mid december FT?

• directors should try to timeline next term with FTCs.

  • We should keep the testing program going leading up to comp.
