Attendance

Flight Test

Embedded Flight Software

Others:

Announcements / Admin

  • Got back from Laura on flight test dates

  • Working on pilot bring-up! First pilot and GSO onboarding session Wednesday by Anthony Luo , working on running through a “flight test” mock lead by Hardy Yu this weekend.

  • Architecture document updates 2024 System Architecture

Action Items (we do these right now)

Updates / Blockers / Finished items

Airframe ON TRACK

 Structure
  • Endcaps printed for landing gear.

  • Need to wait for cabin design before changing landing gear designs

 Integration
 Conops changes
  • Lettuce meet

Payload NOT STARTED

 Cabin
 Avionics & Battery shrouds
  • Battery shrouds

    • Bent CF w/3d printed clips that will clip onto cheese pattern

Aerodynamics NOT STARTED

 Click here to expand...
  • Battery shroud?

    • currently rolling with just horizontal, someone could do analysis if we wanted to take it further

Sensors WAITING DESIGN REVIEW

 Position Sensors
  • Documents in progress.

  • Conops & Cabin dependent

 QOL Sensors
  • TBD.

Harnessing DELAYED

 Rev 1.0
  • Need a list of what we’re going to fly (or going to test fly)

 Click here to expand...

Gemini DELAYED

 PCB
  • underwent review with the ELRS discord.

    • document on confluence

  • Ready to order, components are here.

  • Altium

 Software
  • Need to ensure correct baud rate across the system.

  • Anni to document the data flow

    • TX16 internal → EP1 rx → gemini tx → gemini rx → FC

Antenna Tracker

 Mechanical Hardware
  • Vertical Extension on track w/clear direction.

    • Running CIM motor & cheap hardware.

    • 10A running up the motor 😄 (or lock it out)

  • Rotation having issues.

    • Working on adapting / interfacing the servos.

    • Arjun in Confluence

 Electrical Hardware
  • Have the prototype board soldered

    • this has been done for a while now

    • power is on another board

    • connectors is on prototype shield

  • PCB taking some time. Trying to do it speedy but

    • I’m (Nolan) able to work on this more now so progress should be moving now

 Software
  • issue regarding bmx160; need to test on the algorithm.

    • Mag not working

Auto-landing AWAITING CONOPS

  • Mostly waiting for Conops to determine how many points we obtain for auto-landing. ( ← we have conops as of today yayaay)

 Object Detection
  • Tasks not assigned. Was waiting for conops. Starting planning process.

    • Clarify with AEAC: Landing pad specifics (same as last competition? Same/different colour?)

 Decision Module
  • No progress on implementing decision module - should be simplified from conops brief readthrough.

 MAVLink/Dronekit/UART communication
  • Assigned a task out to incorporate more functionality

  • Got response from manufacturer and will follow up about broken uart port.

  • Working on getting cables that connect to usb port, hoping that will work with pixhawk.

 QR Code -> auto mission

await conops ( ← we have conops as of today yayaay)

  • Task #1 is fly laps. Get waypoints in advance and fly laps (as many times as you can)

  • Task #2 did not specify whether or not you got a QR code….. You will receive a waypoint/approach vectors for the waypoint, and once you reach the waypoint you will have to land

    • Needs to be clarified with AEAC

Testing goals for near future

 Individual component checks

After the drone primitive schematic and layout as been designed and manufactured we should be checking individual components with benchtop power supply

 ROBOHUB GROUND TESTS

Daniel Puratich Coordinating for robohub stuff

  • NOT on track for spinup this weekend (blocked by fire training)

  • Electrical stuff still in planning stage before a system power on.

  • Individual electrical system checks?

    • 2 or 3 people looking over solder

    • Test polarity / continuity

    • Bench power indiv items

    • bench power network

    • -->> spinup

  • Robohub training being grinded through

    • Fire training is an onsite-only thing. needs to be scheduled - list will be compiled

  • Targeting spinup/runup Sat Sep 30 Sun Oct 1.

    • Looking for pulse test in the robohub

    • Lines us up for Hover Test Oct 7th pretty good

 Houston run-through
  • Happening this weekend with Hardy Yu as flight director

    • Goal for this weekend is to setup houston (ready for autonomy tests in the future)

    • Find new pilots / ground station operators & flight test procedures

      • Tomorrow there is flight school meeting

  • No labels
