Announcements / Admin

Anthony Luo design doc freeze discussion.
- There are still sections that need to be filled in.
- Midterms week will slow us down for next few weeks
- Need flight tests to determine operational limits of drone
- Anthony Luo to initiate RFC system
  - not much feedback from others
Anthony Luo To announce importance of the design document phase 1 paper.
- What does succeeding on it means for the team?
  - SDC street cred
Daniel Puratich Recap flight test 2023-10-14: Pegasus Hover, ZP3.5 M1, & Pilot Trainning
- Nathan Green wrong motor configuration, flipped Pegasus
- ~100 dollar of damage
  - couple props
  - antenna on LTE module
  - no action items following this, have extra props
- Daniel Puratich checklist updating
Daniel Puratich Announce flight test 2023-10-21 Flight Test
Daniel Puratich Do we want to run an AEAC sync next week? It’s the heart of reading week

Action Items (we do these right now and assign immediately)

Updates / Blockers / Finished items

Airframe ON TRACK

Structure

Fasteners and everything have been redone and are working well.
Landing gear is okay, but unideal atm. We will want to redesign at some point, but this is not top of the list.
No notable damage from flipping is nice?

Integration

Conops Changes

Payload IN POG-RESS (POG)

Cabin

Not too many updates because of reading week
Skeleton dimensions have been updated and current updates can be found here: Skeleton
Aero-panels are in the works and updates can be found here: Aero-Panels
Aero-panel mounting is being worked on, updates in Aero-Panel Mounting soon!
Going to be checking in on all these projects tomorrow at mech meeting

Avionics & Battery Shrouds

Aerodynamics IN POG-RESS (POG)

Simulations

Not much updates, still under R&D

Sensors IN POG-RESS (POG)

Position Sensors

PDB IN POG-RESS (POG)

Custom PDB

Tom focusing on Midterm
Currently in development and documented in the following page: Custom PDB Board Confluence

Harnessing IN POG-RESS (POG)

Rev 1.0 Schematic

Anti-spark XT90 connectors. Nolan Haines timeline?

Capacitors

Unchanged from lasting sync:
Still needs to be delegated out.

Have a few people who are nearly done with bootcamp that could be assigned to this.
What we have on drone right now is at least in the ballpark, but we do want to calculate eventually.

LEDs

Neel: Checked conops didn’t see any requirement for Passenger LED at least for scoring points, could still be something we add if we want
Neel: No real updates, been really busy with work. Will try to do more this week.

Gemini IN POG-RESS (POG)

PCB

Farris Matar carried 😎, notes he left:

Through hole components still need to be soldered on, we also didn’t get the SMD loop testpoints in the order so we’ll need to order those w the next Digikey order
Quite a few bridges to clean up on some of the ICs
ESP01F still needs to be ordered in the next aliexpress order and assembled. Some of the pads for it are bridged and will need to be fixed to prevent shorts
One board is missing an 0603 green LED, 1 got lost while I was placing them
Some of the pads for the TX modules may need to be touched up on 1 of the boards
