Mechanical: Reconstruct the prototype frame, assemble carbon fibre frame, grabber construction and assembly, gimbal reconstructed.
New grabber construction underway
Next iteration prototype frame being built, grabber redesigned for less theraband, strengthening on arms
Electrical: Need battery measuring setup on PDB. Need control board for the grabber.
Firmware: Controls and Teleop remaining, safety FreeRTOS rearchitecture. Path Manger remaining. Telemetry for ground and aircraft.
Telemetry Manager complete and almost merged in.
Path Manager almost complete, more detailed updates required.
Controls and Teleop, FreeRTOS setup needs to be completed so sensor fusion works, this should be the last thing before PID tuning.
Grabber control, driver board finalized, controls for that will be written on safety. Controlled by RC.
go/nogo for minipix: Aidan leaves end of this week, if we can’t get SF working and PID tuning started by EOW, then we should switch to minipix.
Computer Vision: People detection model needs to be finalized, OpenHD needs to be stabilized. QR Scan needs to be system tested w/ communications. Ground communication needs to be finalized.
Gimbal Control: Confirm w/ Sahil we just need to provide serial output to the Arudino to make this work.
Sahil/Shrinjay Sync
Knowledge transfer of how to fly the drone
Sync w Andy
Set up a time to call with Andy to setup RC link and fly briefly while in the bay

Subteam breakdown
Mech
Redesign original grabber, 12V actuator
Shock went to grabber causing crash
Driver boards are sourced, FW needed to get the code for it
FW
ZP is being used for competition
Really want to fly our stuff
At least collect data as we fail to build ZP as it has never flown a quadcopter
Build morale thing
We need to be doing PID tunings
IMU took a while to re-engineer
1 mo to design
Current state: PID tuning
EE
Got boards sourced
Drivers need to be setup
Mech can complete and setup new grabber
CV
Ground station
Air/GND communication is not finalized
Important for us to do task 2
If comms don’t work from jetson, send data via FW
FW/GND link is validated
DECISIONS
Remove jetson from onboard components
Control gimbal through AP
TODO: Someone needs to own this
Sahil Kale to own GPS/AP integration
TODO: Someone to own telemetry overhaul
Shrinjay says liaise w Yashraj et al for FW/GND comms
Shrinjay Mukherjee to own ground station overhaul
