Picture of the Current Design For Patch Antenna Tracker

  • ***NOTE*** current Antenna Tracker is designed only for Patch Antenna. Currently not compatible with Yagi Antennas.

Potential Changes

  • Move the battery and receiver mounting positions from their current positions to the side panels.

    • Pros: Less material needed. More space for other electrical components.

    • Cons: Not balanced around center of mass.

    • Any thoughts?

Questions

Arjun Mandair

  • Am I essentially making two separate Antenna Trackers for the Yagi antennas and the Patch antenna? Or am I making one Antenna tracker compatible with both?

  • Anthony Luo suggested a “crossbow” like configuration where there's a flat plate above the drive servo so that the antenna can be centered . Are you referring to a flat plate similar to the one below?

  • Anthony Luo asked if the current antenna tracker is compatible with HS311 servos. Should the designs be compatible with HS311 servos?

  • Are the current servo positions ideal knowing new constraints? (Considering HS311 Servos, Torque, Wiring, Yagi Antennas, etc.)

New Constraints / Conclusions / Rough Notes

going for 2-3 weeks for a prototype that can rotate

  • Yuchen solders the perf board for integrating the Nucleo and all the peripheral connections.

Autonomy

IMACS:

  • working with DART MAVLink library. working on getting data telemetry setup.

    • two parts: reading from serial (get data from drone → in actual flight test), also reading from TCP so you can read mavlink from mock mission planner. → test gui without testing on actual drone

  • when GUI starts up → need to request data to listen to and then you’ll get that stream of messages.

    • need to test and confirm.

    • Xierumeng able to use mock missions & wireshark to read mavlink messages? → did not make a request to receive those messages.

      • Mission Planner itself is requesting certain information && that info is forwarded blindly to GUI.

QR Code → Auto Mission

  • Possible to not work with MP?

    • MP uses python2.7 (old).

  • At end of comp → script generates a file, and then you manually add the file into mission planner. (does not count as autonomy)
