Current State of EFS
The outcome: zeropilot did not fly in comp
timelines were clearly not met
lack of testing
lack of basic functionality
had major bugs, for ex, PPM
Every year it seems like we try to implement a brand new thing
introduction of LOS
introducing this new (major) software, without working drivers in the first place
one of the biggest bugs: DMA interrupts → makefiles → LOS
separation of large repositories (LOS as a submodule in ZP)
separate build systems
when testing drivers, dealing with LOS as a submodule is kind of weird
LOS is meant to be this library of drivers and interfaces BUT it contains the most project specific code you can possibly have (the generated files)
LOS/ZP STRUCTURE LOWKEY MAKES NO SENSE:
ideally, each drone project has its own repo (for ex, Vanny, Icarus, houston)
each containing their own project specific files
flight control parameters
generated files (from CUBE)
etc
pulling in (maybe via submodule) ZP, for controls
pulling in LOS, for drivers
at that point, we should put LOS in ZP
Can use getters/setters to pass in HAL functions to LOS Core,
LOS drivers call LOS Core so that they can compile
If the library cant run on its own, why does it have to be able to compile on it’s own?
Acknowleging that this structure makes less sense, we’re going to stick with the current/simpler structure until it flies.
introduction of new ZP3 arch
IMPORTANT: MUST DISCUSS WITH MORE MEMBERS
Start of term plan (meeting schedule, worksessions, etc)
Send out a message
introducing the leads for the term and their roles
introduce new co ops
link lettuce meet for weekly meetings and work sessions
mention task interest form, but send it out after our first meeting
Its a summer term, which means deadlines in general are pretty flowy
Generally a time to rebuild/structure and plan out the next comp cycle
Need to talk about work sessions, info sessions, etc
Ongoing projects, including state and goal
Waiting until Anni and Ayoung come back
Intern Projects
Hardy: competition SM
Nolan: TBD
Bootcamper Schedule
AADI AND AYOUNG UPDATE THE DOC TO GET PINGED INSTEAD OF ANNI
Lets make a Bootcamper support role that any bootcamper can use to ping any members (leads are mandatory) that are willing to help
Chris will take weekday session, aadi will take weekend session (make
Wednesday 9pm, tentative
Asana
asana should be updated once we have our first meeting
Outstanding topics to discuss
LOS
Nolan’s task
Tracking antennae, or HIL if we cant do tracking antennae
Ongoing projects, state, and goal
