🛸 General Team Status/Schedule (inc. other subteams):
Architecture Documents coming out
Flew the large comp drone model today, did * not * go well
not enough thrust from motors to maintain air authority.
Flight tests this Sunday:
1 at 9am weather permitting,
1 at 1pm weather permitting.
EFS bake night this weekend?
→ preference?

🍍 Updates this week!
(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)
Empty tasks:
System Manager
Optical Flow Sensor
NEO Neo M.8
SBUS
pairing rc links
airspeed
i forget all the rest oh noOptical Flow sensor
Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)
will be starting soon
yuchen starting on sunday earliest. Not sure if code finished. Will double check with Jack.
need someone to verify code on portHardware works → sees the dshot wave as correct but motors are not spinning accordingly.
Yuchen on working on RFD900 verification and initial testing.
ZeroPilot 3
System Manager (anni, Gordon, Aadi)
documentation coming out soon. see AM architecture meeting for more info.
Will be split up into sizeable chunks so that gordon/aadi/kevin can bring it up together.Skeleton Framework up for System Manager (in branch <>)
none of the functionality, but has the framework.
Ideally : PM/AM skeleton and/or methods ready for use. (small PR from both into master?)
Path Manager (neha)
Finished defining FSM, prioritizing getting takeoff/landing manager working with the rest of PMUpdated diagram and documentation on confluence
Takeoff/landing initial implementation at MVP state (Thanks gordon!)
Updated diagram and documentation coming out after this meeting logic to go btw different states have been clarified and added
Blockers: SM ↔︎ PM, what does CV need in full Telem struct
Attitude Manager (anni
)Architecture meetings anew, multiple hours.
you can find the first 6 here: https://youtu.be/lUw6bFP26NU
, aidan)
Barebones frame is up
Telemetry Manager (
unassigned atmAadi)
more telemetry Telemetry manager stuff meeting coming out up soon.
LOS
Both STM32F401RE and STM32L5ZEQ compiles using CMake with the build script
LaminarOS repo has been restructured and organized and ready to be developed on
Currently the biggest issue is interrupts are not “trigger” (or so we think) when the software is being build with CMake but when built with the cube IDE it works fine.
This means that the issue occurs during the construction of the binary through CMake, which will be looked into further this weekend by Chris
There is a specific pattern that should consistent through LOS which has been somewhat defined in Los Link branch, please talk to Chris to get more info or to provide suggestions
Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:
First iteration of interface is implemented
Will be opening a PR soon (TM)
Have some concerns/topics of discussion about LOS architecture to go over before can finalize Actuatorsno more singletons (except for LOS_interfaces)
will use dependency injection
LOS thrread safe
There needs to be repo structure changes, specifically related to having individual driver params files per board package options.
May have to prematurely merge the current PRs so the repo restructuring can happen, then get people to work on it after that.
Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:
Did some PR changes but not a lot, got pretty busy 😭
Will finish addressing current comments & implement some of the decisions made on the sunday meeting
Anthony Bertnyk LOS Telem:
Mostafa Hussein LOS Pos:
Hailey Doleweerd LOS Comms:
Christopher Chung LOS_Link :
rssi by ishman. maybe LQ as well. Maybe SBUS as well.PR is in
After LOS meeting, converted PPM driver to not be a singleton and made LOS_Link a singleton.
Had a last minute LOS architecture meeting (minutes here Sunday November 6, 2022 (LOS Architecture Meeting)) to discuss how drivers and interfaces should be defined.
Systems Tooling & Infra
Infra + Devops
Ishman Mann now in charge of docker & ssh setup. Can probably also help us figure out some more integration stuff.
Simulator
Matlab/simulink chosen?
getting familiar with it before tackling simulator
looking into unit testing & resources pertaining to that.
link up with mostafa and tackle the simulator.
lookup on UAV toolbox
look up simnet also! see #mech for more info.https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/776619796971126824/1035231670875455589
Comms Emulator
Looking at what to bring over from LOS.
Building new project
wokring on telem data
needs to know what telemetry data we want to send.
Simulator (SIL)
Come up with roadmap/flow chart of simulink model
Looking up simulink models for fixed-wing simulation (see how they did, what simulink blocks are neccessary, etc.)
HIL (Hardware In the Loop) Controller
former comms emulator
Had an architecture meeting last week to define all requirements of the HIL
Tracking Antenna (kevin, yuchen)
Software is done
Has been simulated matlab #efs-groundsideDoing research on antennas
Trying to get a rough draft done for mechanical to look at by this week
Logging
Stanley finishing SD Card driver.
Characteristic testing to determine how much current draw, scared about 150mA specification from the data sheet, but got about 60mA from testing which is within tolerance
✈ Priorities next week:
TUNE Phoenix
😅 STUCK!
🍍 Team Member Updates
Anni:
Overall Architecture document complete
System Manager/attitudeManager documentation coming out soon.
Gordon:
Takeoff/Landing at MVP state (without testing)
Working on PM stuff with NehaDefined reference frame and documented it.
Jack:
Getting useful code from LOS for software developmentSetting up comms between nucleoPicking up system architecture task soonSpoke with electrical about board potential
Defined next steps for development
Working on fixed-wing controls algorithm
Stanley
Finished SD Driver
Need to move SD Driver to LOS repo
Yuchen Lin
need to redo the pwm output for the and will be testing it next weekneed to take a look at the aadi xbee communication library and perform the RFD 900 range test and drop package test next week.
Chris
Nuked the LOS repo to get the structure correct
Currently LOS “supports” Nucleo f401re and L5 but only F401re compiles
Neha
Finalized diagram and will update documentation
will be working on hover mode
SM ↔︎ PM comms will be a problem later (but not now)
Taim
Worked with Mostafa to come up with architecture proposal for simulatorLearning MATLAB/Simulink to get familiar with the program (Simulink is chosen for simulator)
