EFS New Project / Task Brainstorm
Why?
Because we are running out of task. Some current efs members don’t have task to do. We also have to have some open tasks so that when a new member join, they can pick up a task. Also a preparation for the start of next term.
What you need to do:
Brainstorm more good tasks or project. Or breaking down existing task into smaller piece, so people can work on them in parallel. Or extending task on existing task.
Any input is appreciated, and we will discuss the feasibility in a meeting sometime, (best if we can get this done before next efs meeting)
Ideas from Hardy Yu :
Easy to get people working on them now:
Telemetry Manager
I heard from Yuchen he is shifting his focus onto tracking antenna project. Now, only @Yarema is working with telemetry manager at the moment. Thinking of giving him more hands
Maybe chat with Yamera for how he wish the M2 TM task could break down to, and bring people to PM
M3 TM PID upload, no one is working on it yet. Can let people get started on it
Installing ZP3.5 software on ZP3 board
Nice if we can use zp3 board that ee team made.
Need someone probably onsite to work with zp3 board, give the board a firmware
I lost tracking of zp3 validation progress, but pretty sure this task hasn’t been done yet. Someone can take it away from Aiden
New project idea:
Custom Can Hub
Maybe this can be a project for the future, make our custom can hub that can be used on our custom FC system(ZP) or even on ardupilot
Something similar to this https://store.mrobotics.io/product-p/mro10042a.htm
We could first make a prototype with stm32 MCU, then ask ee to make a board to load our firmware
Initiative of using can: less wire, fast, robust both in electrical and message delivery
