Mechanical

  • status of both task 2 solutions

    • will be done this weekend

  • Houston Motors status

    • Haven’t been ordered. Waiting for decision if we are switching to 6s or keeping 3s and what new form factor of motor should be

    • Will order Dshot ESCs too Nathan Green

Autonomy

  • what is plan for making the system work next term?

  • what are min viable product milestones?

  • when do we want to deliver minimum viable system?

  • IR camera driver and detection almost merged in, 90% of the way there

  • IR camera settings: Max ISO is 64 and doesn’t look too grainy

  • MAVLink communication to ground is in progress

    • FTP has some hope (can see files, but need some more work on reading)

    • StatusText has been debugged and working (on sim)

  • Pegasus killswitch and UART setup complete (although killswitch not set on controller)

Electrical

  • ssd status

    • done ee-wise - it worky :))))

    • We will probably validate some more next term so we have extras

      • make 3 more next

  • water board status?controller status

    • assembled, validated, and tested, handed-off to mech

  • programming board

    • will be rlly useful for led board validation

    • will be assembled sometime before end of term - as soon as digikey components come in (likely tomorrow or monday)

  • No more bring up sessions this term - what has been done is where we are standing for this term

    • Ryan and Kenny still onsite and no finals if something urgent is needed

  • We plan to get our next board order out beginning of next term.

    • Comp relevant boards

      • Water controller rev2 is the main target here - one more channel for driving valve if needed

        • Question for mech - does it look like we are still gonna need this?

      • Pi interface rev C

  • board bring up plan for next term

    • Water controller rev2 when it comes in

    • LED controller rev 4 - didnt end up happening this term

    • Tracking Antenna Rev 2

    • 6S Servo module rev 2

    • More Single servo drivers

  • wiring

    • video system wired yesterday

    • should be fine

EFS

  • ssd status

    tracking antenna working status

    • works well in simulation

    • works less well irl for some reason (yaw tracking is inconsistent, pitch tracking is unresponsive)

    • team to work on debugging today (28 November 2024)

  • led boards

  • Tracking Antenna Omer Sajid

    • Works really well in the mission planner simulation

    • IRL yaw is somewhat tracking, pitch is not working

    • Still being worked on; team debugging today (28 November 2024)

    • One of two things is most likely the cause of the issue

      • Drone is giving bad data

      • Data isn’t being processed correctly

    • To debug, we took the raw UDP data from both the simulation and the drone testing, going to look over, see where the issue is.

Flight Testing

  • what are we flying this weekend?

    • Plan is only Pegasus as Houston motor issues and replacements have not been ordered

    • Daniel proposed not flying this weekend and waiting for Dec 14th flight test to test landing gear

    • Don’t fly this weekend, wait for the 14th

  • what needs to be done to be ready for mid december FT?

    • Water bucket design and implementation

  • directors should try to timeline next term with FTCs.

    • We should keep the testing program going leading up to comp.
