    • More training data

    • already set up

  • Pegasus Sensor Testing

    • op flow

      • needs to be installed

      • requires monster mount installed

        • monster mount design is completed

      • requires wiring (harnessing)

        • should be added to schematic of system

      • software should be plug and play

    • collect gyroscope data

      • reading logs

      • for setting notch filters for noise filters

      • we have to set specific params for this

      • dedicated flight for this

    • ESC Telemetry

      • related to gyro data

      • need to connect a sig & ground to pxihawk from pdb

      • need to do software config

  • Anyone completed the quizzes want to practice flying Houston?

    • Nobody has completed quizes yet!

  • Next steps for Autonomy?

    • We want to collect a lot of images to increase the dataset

    • Get task 2 code for pathing out and then use that in a flight test

    • Main goals for up until end of term

  • 4 vs 6 battery comparison testing

    • We decided can be done later iirc?

    • shouldn’t affect our filtering measurements very much, we can add the batteries for weight into the drone possibly to get it close

  • Announce if we are going to fly such that people can plan their lives

    • We have decided to use our wrestrc time this Saturday
