F24 Progress

  • Derek working with the team on new ZP architecture

    • Old ZP path manager is still being worked on

    • All other efforts focused on getting milestone 1 done

    • Had a lot of trouble debugging → new architecture is more futureproof

    • More documentation on how things work now

  • CAN project

    • LED board worked on by Anni

    • CAN servo

    • CAN ESC

    • Base architecture for all CAN stuff being worked on → will be cleaner

    • Working on improving that base and improving quality of life

      • Dynamic node allocation

    • CAN sensor cluster starting F24

  • Tracking antenna

    • Trying to figure out quirks when running on the drone → things are fine in the sim

    • Something goes wrong when running on the drone

    • Otherwise everything is very functional (movement working great)

    • Potential co-op task: add compass

W25 Goals

  • Pushing tracking antenna to completion

  • Focusing on Eclipse projects (CAN periphs)

    • Power module

    • Servo driver

  • ZeroPilot Milestones

    • Old and new architecture being worked on simultaneously → hard to pinpoint exactly where we are in the milestones

    • Old ZP: developed up to Milestone 2

    • New ZP: working on Milestone 1, close to being finished

  • New tuning

    • Path forward is to talk to team about it at first EFS meeting

    • Explain why this is critical

    • Learning tuning will increase their odds of coming to competition

    • Explain why this is a good opportunity

    • Setup an environment for knowledge transfer and for progress

Flight Test Timeline

  • Possible to flight test this soon?

  • Derek Tang to confirm

  • Roni Kant To setup a meeting with Derek to determined where program progress is now

    • Knowledge transfer about the state of the team

    • Path forward for ZP development

    • Key questions:

      • ZP flight testing → are people interested? what is the timeline?

      • State of CAN periphs → ones relevant to comp (just LED system) and to Eclipse

      • Come up with deadlines and objectives to present in new comp/eclipse arch sync

      • Other leads can give you input on the timeline

      • Talk to Hardy about CAN stuff too

      • Figure out a way to split work between leads

      • Try to write things down if possible

Blockers

  • None at the moment

Stepping Down Plans

  • Derek stepping down at the end of this term?

    • Working with someone to bring them up

Director Feedback

  • None
