  • Brief overview of competition tasks

  • Last term the plan was to land on the barrel

  • At the end of term flight test, we realized the tuning is not reliable enough for this and if the drone clips the barrel, its ggs

  • Now we will be doing a winch that lowers the pump

  • A new pump is needed, servo will likely be controlled by Pixhawk. Worst case we do an single servo driver

  • 1-2 servos needed

  • If someone wants to help with this you are welcome

Eclipse Updates

  • Figuring out what software to use Jerry demoed TinyCAD for harness diagrams, we are on board

    •  Kenny Na to begin work on diagram this weekend hopefully

    • Going off of new system diagram Jerry made

    • Using the XT60 2+4 connectors

  • Need to order XT60 2+4 connectors so they get here early Feb ideally

  • 12V -> 5V @ 4A Buck Converter + ELRS Receiver board 1 & 3 not working, board 2 link drops

    • Need to order extra SX1281 RF IC & U.FL connectors to diagnose if it was an assembly issue

      • booting up without an antenna connected may have killed LNA due to high-Z power reflection

        • there was no firmware when I did this on accident, but it’s still possible…

    • Otherwise out of ideas on this one… try different antennas? 😞
