ZeroPilot 3

ZP-Ardupilot Integration (anni, aadi, Alex, Neha, Stanley)

  • have been defined, will be implemented

• Stanley & Alex working on driver in LOS

• Mission Commands — Plane documentation (ardupilot.org)

System Manager (Gordon, Stanley)

• Gordon to come up with payload for mavlink?

Path Manager (neha, Liang)

• Synced with Liang → will start waypoint following implementation

• PM Takeoff/landing builds → draft PR up (if i havent added link you have permission to yell at me)

  • I know there were some SM changes → does that affect this

Attitude Manager (Ishman, Armaan)

• needs tuning

• Anni had a quick meeting to let them know of what attitude manager is

  • Main task is to get Phoenix tuned

Telemetry Manager (aadi)

• started on driver for CV, plan to get done today.

• Sync to talk about LOS driver this week

  • Hailey

  • Chris

  • Tony

• Ardupilot ZP integ discussed

• air to air can be very similar to air-ground in terms of los driver

LOS

Interface

• LOS POS? (Mostafa, Chris)

  • tried to reconfigure

  • Maybe Armaan and Ishman can help out… also pratyush

• LOS Link

  • Finally merged in!

• LOS Actuators

• LOS Telem/comms (aadi, yuchen, hailey, alex)

  • Meeting this week, aadi will send out a lettucemeet

• Logging?

  • LOS_LOG has not started… driver is still in prototype repo and needs to be ported to L5

Drivers (lets try and get names added soon)

• VN-300 (Chris)

  • Haven’t started testing yet

Systems Tooling & Infra

Infra + Devops

• team don’t exist, aadi doing some when he needs it

• let us know if you are interested in working in this
