Attendance
- I’ll be online in this meeting and may be away from home. I’ve loaded up questions in this one in the meeting minutes so there should be plenty of material to cover.
Flight Test Debrief
How did January 19th FT go?
Did we resolve model match issues?
Yuchen Lin says it is not model match as it is able to pair
Need to look into antenna issues
What can we do better in future?
Did CV camera work?
...
When will filter and camera be assembled?
Asked mech for help, Nathan printed first “mount” uploaded
Same camera, filter might not be the same (assign to figure this out)
Printed by Tuesday (depending on if same filter), can Autonomy mount themselves?
When can a full mock task 1 be run? With IR filter and multiple beacons?
Planned for weekend of Feb 1st and 2nd
To be practiced with pilots
Autonomous movement isnt priority since no points (only autonomous coords)
Are all autonomy workers merged? (System ready to operate at competition level?)
Not quite, aiming to complete by next flight test Jan 26th
Drone sending madlink portion remaining (done in separate tests, not in competition code)
Is the new airframe being pursued or not?
Things purchased/shipping on its way
Important for tuning, not going into comp
Are camera mounts completed for peggy 2?
Camera mount for IR, on the monster mount once smaller mount is printed (filter stuff)
Plan for the IR camera, will ensure fix for op flow orientation before moving forward
Should be printable within the next week
Task 2
What is mech hard deadline for camera mounting?
what are outstanding mech questionsEnd of next week goal, check in with Camilo
Manual flying, release and loading TBD based off conops
Do we have working single servo driver boards?
If not, when?
Do we really need? can we run off pixhawk?
Should run the math off this
Plan to use scope design servo (continuous rotation Ryan can check?), figure out what’s going on with pump first
Check pix current rating to see if we can just run off pix
One module working, getting other two working
Derek to follow up with Hardy (board and candshot)
Maybe assemble another board?
When will payload be ready for FT?
when next rev water controller?
current sense is highest piority
Adding 48V input support to water controller? a lot of effort but would be cool. Design changes done in CAD on the 27th
Assemble by the 10th of Feb?
We need a better tune before these can be super safely tested
Goal around Feb 13th
Figuring out current pump
Tested pump. Can do 1.5m suction and 3m pushing. Next step would be to test 3m suction so the pump can be mounted to the drone.
Look into how long of a tube we need
12V needed on drone for the pump. 12V is on PDB? Check if there is room for more current.
Plan to use two 12V pumps and go back to a 12 and 6 if needed
See how fast the new pump is
when next rev water controller?
current sense is highest priority
Adding 48V input support to water controller? a lot of effort but would be cool.
Email AEAC if we can get part marks from just getting into position
Other
When will tracking antenna be tested next?
Working on fixing issues, personnel interested but not priority
Putting gemini on tracking antenna controller?
When will tuning practice occur for EFS?
Is this happenning happening on a new airframe?
Delegated today to IMU and sensorfusion in sensorpilot, taking on tasks in parallel, creating a solution for comp
What is status of LED system?
new boards when?
firmware for patterns when?
Is there a plan for packing the drone?
deadlines and timelines for seeing it come apart and stuff
RPi rev c
when assembled boards?
this is R&D for into next comp cycle
Is ground station intent for comp?
Are there ppl working on it?
deadlines?
are we dropping it completely?
