Ground Control Station Integration 2025
Sysint
Mech
EP2 (or EP1 dual)? mount
VTX antenna mount
Auto
Going well
Have a display by the end of the term
No tasks for pathing, mostly research
EE
Working on block diagram for improved AAT board
Component selection after block diagram
Board can be made bigger if needed
Put 3 servo headers just in case
No STM version
EFS
Bulk of development work for tracking antenna M2 is done. Need to clean everything up into a production system (i.e. proper network SSID and Password handling)
ESP32 for WiFi
Works with a simulated MAVLink stream (mission planner sim → mavproxy → tracking antenna)
Need to start development of production WiFi network with router, so far using Roni Kant hotspot
Setup static IPs for our ground station elements and the RPi
Setup ELRS MAVLink RC, and test streaming of MAVLink with that
Pegasus
Sysint
Ordered parts to finish pegasus 2, pixhawk arrived
VTX and motors have not arrived yet
Gemini TX module arrived, 250mW iFlight receiver
Mech
New pixhawk mount for peggy 2
Maybe motor protectors are worth it for peggy 2 to prevent dents
Waterproofing design done, need to review by next week
Planning on thermoforming it
Auto
Geolocation tested on ground, will be tested in air this weekend
Reviving auto-landing script project and integrating with current system
Set up the pi 5, power is available on houston
EE
EE peggy airside meeting this thursday for peggy 2 bringup ASAP
This meeting is the discussion of what will be done
EFS
Figuring out CAN
Preliminary research mostly done, moving on to first prototypes
Current goal of reading node status message broadcast by Pixhawk on STM32
Data fills buffer on STM32, but none of it is recognized as valid CAN frames
Figure out why the data from Pixhawk is not being parse as CAN frames
