 Announcements

  • EFS will hire a coop student next term; the job will be posted and processed on Waterloo Works

  • This is the last meeting of the term! Good luck to everyone on final exams!

 ZeroPilot M2/M3

Drivers

  • Sensor Fusion - Polly Liu & Liam Suter

    • prototyping with bmx160

    • Code tested and functioning on arduino

      • Calibrating sensor today in the bay (hopefully can get gyro and accel readings in order. I still don’t fully understand how to calibrate the magnetometer though)

      • Starting code for the IMU on the STM32 in the meantime

  • GPS

    • new task opening?

Telemetry Manager Yarema Dzulynsky

  • No update: Waiting for new arch M1 to complete for porting M2 TM.

Path Manager Ayoung Eun

  • Ideation Code We’ve constructed simple landing/takeoff functions and got it reviewed with Hardy Yu

  • we will have to harness the code and wait until simulation team (at least that’s what I heard) comes up with airplane\drone’s tested data so we could use them for our functions.

 

Infrastructure

Core Dump Kabir Verma

  • Got the stack trace on a general project

ZP Validation Image Ethan Leung

  • Tried to do more testing but I can’t get the zp3 board to respond, need help.

ZP3.5 M2 Bring-Up

  • Stalled

 ZeroPilot New Architecture

Drivers Ethan Leung

  • Message Queue Dami Peng

    • Made PR for abstract interface. Need to clean PR

    • Boardfiles interface is also finished. Will likely start implementation after finals?

  • Motor Channel (PWM) Bill Lu

    • Interface merged

  • RC Receiver Chandise Anderson

    • finished the interface and I am working on fixing the notes for the pr, I will send the request this evening

    • I am working on the interface

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

 CAN Projects

ESC (Jeffrey Zhen)

  • Able to get throttle values from Mission Planner over CAN

  • To Do:

    • DShot output not working as intended when called from interrupt, need to debug

Servo Tharun Ganeshram Fion Lin Herman Gahra

  • Larry Pan Code for the Rx queue implementation is done, will move on to testing next. Rx Queue to Shorten ISR

  • System testing is done with a single servo driver!

  • Looking for user-end documentation to be done

  • The code still needs to be cleaned up

  • Needs someone to facilitate the dynamic node allocation

 

Sensor Cluster Roni Kant

  • Everyone was pretty busy with projects and exam prep, finished testing the CAN l4 port that we’ll be using. Going to meet with Henry this week to start working on integration of sensor drivers with CAN driver

LED Board Folarin Fatola (Unlicensed)

  • Successfully reading and writing messages to and from the CAN bus!

    • Can parse and transmit the Ardupilot status requests

    • TODO: figure out how to get Ardupilot to transmit custom messages (ie altitude) and parse those messages into lighting commands

    • TODO: figure out if it is possible to send our own custom packets over the shared bus and get Ardupilot to ignore them

  • Refactored Neopixel code into a mode cohesive C++ interface

6s Power Module Bryan Ma Harry Chen

  • We read the datasheet for the battery monitoring chips and filled in some more port info on our document. There are still some concerns though, namely:

    • The REF_SEL register sets the range of our voltage and current measurements, but we don’t know what value to put into the register

    • The voltage and current information seem to be transmitted via both I2C and multiple analog pins of the IC. Is this for redundance or is there another reason for this?

CAN Baud Rate Auto Sensing Teighan Miller Sherry Lai

  • Working on configuring L5 board and building code.

 Groundside Infrastructure

Tracking Antenna Omer Sajid Jeremy Zheng

  • Worked on it today. Yaw works relatively well. Pitch is still being worked on. Tracking Antenna really well in the simulation though. Yaw should be ready for this weekends flight test.

  • Going tomorrow again to work on it along with Jeremy Zheng and Roni Kant
