Batteries Ordered

8x 6200mAh 6S 60C LiPo batteries have been ordered and should arrive this week

LED board

follow up on this next week re: signal integrity?

EFS

Mech

Houston Rangefinder Mount

• Almost complete, can be ready for next flight test if needed

Temporary mount exists

Design exists, can get this on Houston in the next 2 weeks (requires also editing landing gear)

Electrical

Rangefinder Harness

• waiting for rangefinder order to arrive

• it has arrived! Ready to work on. Would be cool to have ready for this weekend

EFS

OFS ConfigStill needs to be done. Looking for someone willing to take on this task.

Cameron configured it last week before flight test

• Heard the OFS wasn’t working well in the flight test?

• left on ‘op flow only’ settings

Any more sensors that need to be configured this week? no

Autonomy

Mech

Mounts

• Will work on video system mounts for OSD and mux if needed

VTX mount being worked on

We need a new mount that has both cameras nice and close together to reduce wire runs. Will discuss in mech meeting.

Electrical

VTX Wiring

• Aiming to reduce noise in the VTX , OSD, and mux wiring has been redonecamera muxing harness, shorter lengths == less strange noise / interference

EFS

OSD config

• OSD configuration is done and documented

OSD Configuration and Testing

MUX config

• video mux config done and also updated the AUX in two controllers

• Channel 6…. is the configed as video aux from what I read in the discord

Heard OSD got cut off in the flight test

• being solved by mechanical and electrical

Autonomy

LTE Communication

• All image format encoder have been benchmarked on raspberry pi

  • HEIF took too long, JPEG was fastest

to discuss more in auto meet. probably will use jpeg for image encoding

CV camera works

Mech

Gemini case

someone is working on this

Electrical

ELRS Gemini PCB

XT30 still has not arrived yet. Reordered more connectors

EFS

Gemini Telem DebugELRS for comp

• Aryan Kashem

Improved LRS

Still no on assigned. Probably will not be done for this comp cycle.

Gemini Integration

How is the case going? Need to start putting things(like fans) together.

• will be focusing on tracking antenna tasks. No longer on Gemini telemetry debug

• Currently have no one working on Gemini telemetry debug or LRS 💀

Autonomy

Pathing

Pathing works as expected on Houston during flight test

TODO: Integrate auto landing with pathing

Last command in sequence was return to launch point. We need to use the auto-land sequence. Ideally run this during next weekend’s flight test (comp sim)!

Mech

Pegasus 2.0

• New Pegasus is making progress, machining of center block is complete

• Only arm connectors and landing gear parts are left, assembly should begin soon

• Hardened steel gears for 3D printer have been ordered to allow us to print using carbon fibre filament. They will be installed when they arrive and we will print the remaining parts for Pegasus 2.0

^ last week

Cabin being redesigned

Center block and arm connectors are done

Assembly beginning soon!

Waiting on landing gear redesign

Waterproofing to discuss in mech meet Conall Kingshott

Electrical

Schematics

Pegasus schematic cleaned up, comments left by Daniel were addressed. Mena will continue to update schematic with sensors.

• ongoing: still moving things around. adding rangefinder, etc.

houston harness cleanup

started on CAN cable

• shortening the cables

EFS

Lighting Board

• Owen successfully flashed the firmware on the board, but the lights are not working consistently

• Figure out there is signal integrity issue, still don’t know the root cause

Autonomy

Mech

Improvements

• Mounting improvements for stabilization almost complete. Need to double check measurements for yaw-servo dimensions with CAD. Going to order metal by either today or tomorrow.

• May need help with machining this weekend as I need to head home. Will reach out to mechanical members shortly.

• Assuming all goes, will be finished this weekend hopefully Saturday.

Question for EFS:
When will testing for the Yagi Antennas be ready?

• haven’t been tested

• it’s ok to just throw them on untested

Electrical

custom PCBFirst round of PCB reviews have started.

needs to be reviewed

Arduino antenna

Nathan Green made an arduino tracking antenna PCB

Nolan Haines reviewing it a bit

Nice

EFS

Arduino Tracking Antenna

• I think they got most of the basic functionalities done

• Still struggle with GPS data reading, waiting for the new GPS to arrive and integrate it into the systemHeard they integrated the new NEOM8Q GPS into the tracking antenna, and it had worked well

• What is more needed for arduino tracking antenna?

GPS working well

EFS will test the yagi. how to test it well?

• if we have all the cabling we need

  • ELRS gemini link stats working

  • logging all these link stats

• fly 1 path with omnis

• fly 1 path with yagis

• see if there is improvement in signal!

omnis vs yagis swap out completely. then mix and match to see what happens. (optimize it!)

yagis - show how well tracking works

omnis - baseline.

goal is to be better than just the omnis
