Sensor mounts

• Pegasus mounts for rangefinder and op flow have existed for a while

• Lidar mount for Houston exists, just needs to be mounted

Electrical

Sensor wiring

• op flow & rangefinder sensor wiring checked on Pegasus

• waiting for mech on 360 lidar

Conformal coating on PCB

• Need clarity on motivation behind conformal coating:

  • is it for waterproofing?

  • Which PCB’s will require conformal coating

  • Will having housings for PCB’s make conformal coating redundant?

EFS

Sensor calibr & quality test

• Need guidance/pointers on how to do calibration and testing

  • What specific metrics need to be calibrated?

  • What metrics are to be tested and against what values?

• How much is done so far?

Ardupilot VTX mgmt

• Clarify requirements

  • What is this task, and what is the end goal?

  • Are there specific steps/action items that EFS should follow?

LTE Comms

• Haven’t made a choice on which image compression format we want to use

  • Have a couple more tickets where we want to profile different image compression formats

  • We have an influx in new members so we can assign those tickets out

• Going to start creating the repository to trasnmit images over LTE

  • Will create it so that the image compression format can be added as a module so we are not blocked

• Going to start assigning directories to team members to clean

RFD900x harnessing

Yuchen is slaying on the breakout PCB, Daniel Puratich will review

EFS

ELRS Gemini status

Assigned Akam to this task. He aims to start work on 23 Jan 2023

Autonomy

• No progress on looking into what happened with LTE on the flight test

  • Need to delegate to someone onsite

• Working on getting Geolocation tested

  • We have someone actively working on blocking PR
