• Check out Conops for AEAC! Get involved in comp syncs for discussion https://www.aerialevolution.ca/annual-student-competition/

  • We decided to not do SUAS since it costs time, manpower, money, late conops.

  • Summary

    • Happening May 9-11 in Medicine Hat, Alberta

    • Aiming to do a full simulation Nov 8

    • Phase one January 15

    • Phase 1 Proposal, 2 is competition

      • Task 1

        • Detect a fire in the distance (red balloons ), Identify hotspots (IR beacons), Visually identify what started the fire

    • Task 2

      • Transport water from a source tank to the locations of the fire hotspots and deposit

• Successful Flight test on Saturday!

  • 2024-09-21 Pegasus 2 Maiden Flight

  • First flight on new drone!

  • Big step since made changes without testing.

  • Some hiccups but they got ironed out.

• Another test next Saturday:

  • Range/Speed test: https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1287116296609202336

  • Obstacle avoidance test: https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1283890207287935018

  • Lots of prep for these, get involved in the threads above if interested

  • Usually in mornings

• Competition Architecture Sync: weekly Thursday at 8 PM in E5 2103.

  • Last competition sync: 2024-09-18 Comp Arch Sync - Meetings - WARG (atlassian.net)

• Fixed Wing Architecture Sync is on every other Wednesday at 8 PM in E5 2103

  • More on fixed wing below

• Successful Work session!

  • ESC Can Adapter assembly done!

    • just some validation left

      • checking for shorts

      • checking LDO pwr

  • Tracking antenna assembly mostly done

    • validating buck

    • fixing efuses

• Work session next week Sunday @11AM in the bay

  • Plan:

    • Assemble LED boards

    • Assemble RPi Rev B board

    • Validate tracking antenna

• EFS workshops:

  • Not directly EE but still can be useful

  • Sept 30th: Datasheets and Protocols, led by Sahil Kale

  • Oct 7th: Job Search & Interview Strategy, co-led by Christopher Chung and Sahil Kale

    • Chris is an EE advisor

  • All workshops will take place from 8pm to 10pm in E7 5353

• Lack of pilots next term - Reach out if off stream and interested

  • Consider the commitment.

  • green tasks need to be done → need a lot of new components for this board, anyone is welcome to take them, but I actually need these done

  • Layout in need of revamp

    • New stackup will be

      • L1 - SIG/PWR

      • L2 - SIG/PWR

      • L3 - Uninterrupted GND

      • L4- SIG/PWR

    • Moving all signal traces from L3 to L2

    • Will create isolated GND beneath buck on L2 and keep all routing away from it

    • Looking to use many more via transitions to ensure that the signal traces do not lose reference.

    • Looking to remove some of the decoupling caps on the buck to save space

    • Looking to source a smaller linear regulator for the 12V-5V step down to save space as the current one is overkill based on the required power draw from it.
