EE
Comp Relevant PCBAs
Water controller
POR assembly this weekend/ as soon as boards come in
no firmware required
need more info on assembly for rev 2 of this board
does this also need to be done asap? should the bringup of this board next term be very high priority?
LED REV 4
POR early next term
do we have a deadline for bringup for this? if not, when?
Tracking antenna controller rev2
POR assembly early next term
Unified VTX
POR sometime next term
components ordered
Tom Chiu will be onsite to drive this
is this still viable for comp 2025?
Other relevant boards
Single servo driver - handed off for firmware
Comp Critical Bringup Priority List
Should we make any changes to this list? No deadlines as of rn besides water controller being ready for Dec 14th FT.
Water Controller Rev 1 - assembly this term
LED controller rev 4 - assembly this term likely pushed
Tracking Antenna Rev 2
Unified VTX
Water Controller Rev 2
Wiring
harness for RPi has been completed and handed off to autonomy for further testing
details: copied from Jerry’s discord message:
the raspberry pie system is ready for ground test. There are 3 cables to the RPi Rev B PCB, the UART kill switch cable is plugged in but the other two cables were not plugged in. xt30 power cable is straightforward, just connect the female connector to the male connector on the pcb. For the telemetry cable, unplug cable in the pixhawk telem3 port rn and plug the one coming from rpi in Uart killswitch cable is connected to pixhawk io pwm port 8. I think I told you yesterday, but I didn't include any details so here you go
EFS
Tracking Antenna
Yaw and Pitch tracking are both working
Currently working when TA is manually placed to face north (Yaw 0 degrees is north)
Otherwise, there is a calibration issue, will be looked over today
Ready for flight test on Nov 23rd
Mech
Autonomy
IR camera different settings tested on ground, IR beacon is still pretty bright (min exposure time + max ISO) OneDrive
Cluster estimation integrated and tested
MAVlink communication in development
IR camera integration is almost complete, just testing remains
Will push more for bright spot detection once we lock in camera settings, although we have preliminary algorithms ready (not integrated)
Camera test plan:
Set higher shutter speed to make images darker (called
Play around with iso values to see what allows for beacon to be seen
