• Will look @ 3s

• Going to add some angle on yaw only

  • on pitch version, going to add default is level and ability to pitch up and down.

• Building the antenna starting this week.

• Using the tripod.

• No counterbalance for the yagis (fine for yaw only).

• HS 785 HQ, 8 rotation servo

• gearbox is 1:7

will need calibration for this later (in software)

Added 3d printed parts to angle YAGI antennas (25 degrees)

• angled backplate for patch antenna (25 degrees)

• Built over the weekend.

• Only need to finish the backplate for backplate and laser cut lexan rotating platform to house electronics.

  • waterjet not working the past few days. Will be up and running sometime today or tomm.

• ETA EOW

Tracking Antenna Nucleo Shield

• Started working on drawing the schematic of the tracking antenna pcb

• Yuchen Lin Found out the prototype board he soldered wasn’t really working

• We are currently making a new one with better planning, more careful soldering, and easier to use

Tracking Antenna Software

• integration code finished

• have a blocker: not finding neo m8 but solved today

• will warp up the integration test

• continue on pid motor code

• WILL WRITE UNIT TESTSEvery driver finished

• Sensor Fusion for BMX160.

• Need ground testing for decoding MAVLink GPS.

ELRS 📶

Gemini 📻

• • if doing wireless - it can be UART.

    • Gemini communication needs BOOT0 connection (to update over wifi).

      • may need to use push-button // jumper

    • Normal communication just uses UART.

  Just started PCB phase

• Image RemovedImage Added

  Board will likely not be ordered before the end of the term

  • Will need to be tested early next term

• Boot jumper, UART connection for data.

• CRSF from TX16 ↔︎ TX is the same as CRSF from RX ↔︎ FC

  • Will use ELRS as “hop” to Gemini board.

Airport 🛫

< updates here >

• Have figured out how to run their unit test today

• Looking at implementing the telemetry burst in the airport first

• If this work, the bandwidth of the airport can potentially double

• The telemetry burst already existed in the code base but was unused because they think it need more testing and might be unstable

  • potentially range tests….etc.

Ground Station Software

Mission Planner

• Full flight test in simulator on Autonomy Desktop

IMACS

• working on testing stuff through TCP.

• Once serial port working, and GUI done, need to test on drone // ardupilot.

  • Minipix possible?

QR Code detection

• Focus rn

MAVLink commands

• Focus rnWorking out details on data telemetry.

  • Working on clean architecture && making FIGMA GUI.

  • Have plan on what needs to be displayed.

Airside Command & Control

LTE Communication 📡

• Tested @ wrestrc this weekend.

Jetson Autonomy 📷

• All tasks given out, architecture created and finalized.

• all independent tasks completed by saturday.

• week after is integration

• flight test on saturday post next (22nd).

GeoLocation

• Needs to be refactored.

• Merge-odometry-and-detections module

Dronekit on Jetson

• Dronekit on jetson PR just reviewed.

  trying to keep in common repository (ground and airside). Reduces boilerplate

  Working on finalizing dronekit python integration into autonomy cv system.

• Working on getting geolocation module support

• assigned out QOL tasks to make working on the Jetson easier (during flight tests).
