Jerry Tian For Peggy 2
Did not make progress
Tracking antenna, water controller on order
Single servo on firmware
This week working on pi harness
Giving out to pi rev c people
make harness schem on tinycad
Eclipse Updates - Fixed Wing 2025 - SysInt - WARG (atlassian.net)
The below boards should be included
6S servo module rev 2 - On midterm order - assembly likely next term
Single Servo Driver - waiting on EFS
6S power module - in validation Andrew Chai for details
POR for first flight of eclipse next term.

Daniel Puratich Project Manager, Principle Hardware Engineer
Siddharth Muralikrishnan Anthony Lazar Anthony Luo Shawn Yang
Update: Handing off layout to Kenny Na !! Goal is done end of term
12V -> 5V @ 4A Buck Converter + ELRS Board - Electrical - WARG (atlassian.net)

Tom Chiu Individual Contributor
End of term target
12S ESC - Electrical - WARG (atlassian.net)
Ethan Abraham Individual Contributor
Knowledge transfer done with Andrew Chai
Did initial placement for MCU + Power + Gate Driver
Will need to put more thought into FETs - most likely will require some cooling system since most FETs on Digikey within a reasonable price will not be able to handle the operation conditions at ambient temp
Will consult with Kevin and Ethan regarding further steps and some feedback on initial placement
End of term target
