2024-11-20 EFS Meeting

Announcements

A Pegasus Flight Test will happen this weekend
- 2024-11-23 Pegasus Flight Test
- EFS will make sure the Tracking antenna and single servo driver firmware are working for this flight test
Please clean up the working area before you leave the bay!
- very important to keep the warg bay clean and organized
- so the bay can be a more pleasant area to work at
- and we stop losing our stuff

ZeroPilot M2/M3

Drivers

Sensor Fusion - Polly Liu & Liam Suter
- prototyping with bmx160
- Code tested and functioning on arduino
  - Need to calibrate the sensor as it’s not giving reasonable data currently
  - Starting code for the IMU on the STM32 in the meantime

Fail-Safe Fix - Uzayr Hussaini Andrew Wang
- no update, Hardy Yu will follow up
- pr is up with merge conflicts?

Attitude Manager Anthony Luo

System Manager Hardy Yu

Telemetry Manager Yarema Dzulynsky

Path Manager Ayoung Eun

Ideation Code Currently working to determine the required altitude and were wondering if we have a fixed wing specification available still (When we test it, would we still use that foam plane?). This would help us figure out the optimal altitude and speed for takeoff and landing.
Just to double check, sensor fusion still works right? I know it’s in ZP 3.5 but just to double check if it still functions properly.

Infrastructure

Core Dump Kabir Verma

ZP Validation Image Ethan Leung

Fake Arduinos arrived and they are working. Running into some troubles during testing but not blocked
Worked on the ADC tests cases.

ZP3.5 M2 Bring-Up Sherry Lai

ZeroPilot New Architecture

Drivers Ethan Leung

Message Queue Dami Peng
- Finished interface and pushed onto message_queue branch

Motor Channel (PWM) Bill Lu
- After our sync/help session Bill has started on writing his interface and some function definitions.

RC Receiver Chandise Anderson
- I’ve started to work on the driver, but starting to run into issues with writing the interface. I will ask about it

Watchdog Ronald You
- Ronald is pretty much done and is working out some final details for his driver.

Attitude Manager Sam Zhang

No updates, just waiting for the finalized interface between drivers for the PWM motor function and the queue.

System Manager Manasva Katyal

SM interface + internal logic scaffolding PR was merged in
Had a sync meeting a couple days back with the SM team to align delegations
Implementation ongoing… Raiyan Samin Sreya Roy Chowdhury to give further updates

CAN Projects

ESC (Jeffery Zhen)

CAN-ESC adapter DShot output is now working with motor attached
To Do:
- look at the efs-canard code that was shared recently and integrate with CAN-ESC adapter
- make a new copy of CAN-ESC code for future PR

Servo Tharun Ganeshram Fion Lin Herman Gahra

Sensor Cluster Roni Kant

Tochi Okoro Dev board is lost .. :( Need to decide if we are going to buy another sensor or just wait for the EE board to be done. Until then, working on turning driver into a cpp class.
Henry Wu Yutong Zhu Sensor driver is basically done. Meeting with Roni Kant soon to work on integration with DroneCAN
Aidan Fisher Logic flow written for UHD mode, finishing coding it
Ria Prakash Moving to GPS driver task for now, so this task is put on hold
Roni Kant Worked with CAN people on porting to l4

LED Board Folarin Fatola (Unlicensed)

Worked on debugging the CAN integration code
TODO: Enable one lighting board node to act as a master for the rest of the lighting boards

6s Power Module Bryan Ma Harry Chen

The doc for the CAN interface has definitely helped a bit in understanding the CAN architecture, and how it’s used in conjunction with DroneCAN
We will still need to learn more about DroneCAN and Nucleo L5’s CAN connectivity in general, before we know how to receive a message from the FC.
After that we’ll continue learning/doing from there
