Attendance
Pegasus 2
Successful flight test last weekend, Pegasus 2 maiden flight
Had some compass issues but a parameter reset fixed them
Working on 2 designs for payload - Conall’s scoop design and a pump design, will choose which to fully pursue later.
Going to angle landing gear inwards to allow landing on barrel easier
Turn on raw IMU data logging and evaluate filters this Saturday
Antenna Tracker
Mech
Finalizing some mechanical components (honestly hoping it’ll be finished by next week as they are small changes)
Baseplate redesign in process
Angle limiter design is done, just needs to be manufactured
EFS has a task for integration testing assigned, will be done before midterms
EE to deliver board in one week
IMACS
Monitor mount status?
corner designs mounts are done
working on MDF prototype for the front plate that stops the monitor from falling out. Need to procure self-tapping screws
Need a list of specific hardware parts so mech can start the layout and start designing mounts/cases
Framework sponsorship?
We need a computer
We need small wire to extend the monitor ribbon cable (stranded 28 or 30 gauge)
Autonomy
Task 1: Minimum Viable Product
...
Open to hear ideas for our system. From the conversations before this meeting there were a lot of ideas which is good but I wanted to present what we have done so far and let everyone know so that ideally we create ideas that branch of what we’ve done rather than starting from scratch.
Other
Note, from Ashish Agrahari , will IR emitter and IR camera filter be delivered in time for use in flight test? If not delivered, or IR implementation does not seem reasonable for this flight test, we should maybe go with balloon detection with openCV.
Also would be good to go over Autonomy roadmap 2024-09-21 Autonomy Roadmap and get thoughts on our implementation for Task 1 and 2.
CAN Servo/ESC
EFS
Both of the projects are at a similar stage, where we have the CAN interface code and sensor interface code ready, working on integration
Struggling with getting CAN command from pixhawk. Suspect that is due to we didn’t send a proper command request from the CAN node
People who are delegated with the task don’t seem to be very available in the next week due to job searching
CAN LED Board
EFS
Folarin Fatola created some subtasks for this project recently, and delegated them to the members who are involved
We should be looking for lighting the LEDs on the board soon
EE
Jerry Tian Plans to install the video system after the flight test this weekend
We plan to start bringing up Pi Rev B this weekend - Oct 4th deadline seems doable
Misc:
Alison Thompson - We should get a barrel and a bucket for mech an auto testing
