December: Auto Takeoff-Landing, Stabilized Fixed Wing & Quadcopter flight. Tracking antenna modelled and ready. Comms Emulator Complete.

Mid-Jaunary: start tuning on competition frame. Ardupilot Passthrough Complete & Ready.

Start of February: Auto Takeoff-Landing integrated with forward flight. Tuning started on main competition frame. Groundstation with CV ready.

– Decision to Stay with ZP or Move to Ardupilot –

Mid February: Systems Complete flight test. Simulator Complete.

– NOTHING MAJOR SHOULD BE CHANGED AFTER MARCH 1st –

March: System characterization flights, Integration flights, Incremental upgrades

April: Competition simulations && Documentation, Competition team bringup.

May: Competition

W23 Planning

• VN-300 for LOS_Pos

• LOS_Link > LOS_Actuators

  • PPM input for link

  • Actuators: pwm / dshot

• LOS_Telem & LOS_Comms

  • Comms for: Jetson, Ardupilot (all uart)

  • Telem for: groundstation (uart through rfd900)

• System MANAGER handler → is this going to be a new repo?

  • needs to be functional

• Ardupilot integ over PPM/Mavlink

  • Mavlink over UART

  • PPM Output (for RC passthrough)

    • PPM Driver required

• Other accessories (Video/OFS/Antennas/etc).
