📝 Meeting minutes

Tracking Antenna 🗼

Tracking Antenna Tower

MECHANICAL

• Added 3d printed parts to angle YAGI antennas (25 degrees)

• angled backplate for patch antenna (25 degrees)

• Built over the weekend.

• Only need to finish the backplate for backplate and laser cut lexan rotating platform to house electronics.

  • waterjet not working the past few days. Will be up and running sometime today or tomm.

• ETA EOW

Tracking Antenna Nucleo Shield

ELECTRICAL

• Started working on drawing the schematic of the tracking antenna pcb

• Yuchen Lin Found out the prototype board he soldered wasn’t really working

• We are currently making a new one with better planning, more careful soldering, and easier to use

Tracking Antenna Software

EMBEDDED FLIGHT SOFTWARE

• Every driver finished

• Sensor Fusion for BMX160.

• Need ground testing for decoding MAVLink GPS.

ELRS 📶

Gemini 📻

ELECTRICAL

• Just started PCB phase

• 

  Board will likely not be ordered before the end of the term

  • Will need to be tested early next term

• Boot jumper, UART connection for data.

INTEGRATION

• CRSF from TX16 ↔︎ TX is the same as CRSF from RX ↔︎ FC

  • Will use ELRS as “hop” to Gemini board.

Airport 🛫

EMBEDDED FLIGHT SOFTWARE

• Have figured out how to run their unit test today

• Looking at implementing the telemetry burst in the airport first

• If this work, the bandwidth of the airport can potentially double

• The telemetry burst already existed in the code base but was unused because they think it need more testing and might be unstable

  • potentially range tests….etc.

Ground Station Software

AUTONOMY

Mission Planner

• Full flight test in simulator on Autonomy Desktop

IMACS

• Working out details on data telemetry.

  • Working on clean architecture && making FIGMA GUI.

  • Have plan on what needs to be displayed.

Airside Command & Control

LTE Communication 📡

INTEGRATION

• Tested @ wrestrc this weekend.

Jetson Autonomy 📷

AUTONOMY

• Working on finalizing dronekit python integration into autonomy cv system.

• Working on getting geolocation module support

• assigned out QOL tasks to make working on the Jetson easier (during flight tests).
