T - 2 Months:
Mech: Frame that can support for competition.
Electrical: ZP board (being assembled), gimbal board (done), PDB (not been ordered yet)
ZP board is still being assembled, tedious to assemble, equipment required, we’re borrowing a reflow station from Orbital.
PDB: Calculations for design and BM is done, previous schematic is done, one change to be made, ordered by next week.
Firmware: AM, Telemetry, Path Manager
AM needs a new IMU to correct for drift, new IMU has been ordered, driver is in progress, should be integrated once it arrives. Should have drivers verified this weekend, controls should be tuned by the end of the second week.
Telemetry is basically ready, needs to be integrated this weekend.
PM is being kicked off, medium sized changes needed to support rotorcraft flight, Dhruv R..
Computer Vision: QR Scanner, Ground Station, Detection + Tracking on Ground
QR Scanner: Code for its written, let’s test out the module itself next, depends on comms and ground station.
Ground Station: Comms code should get out tonight for both ground-cv and fw-cv, planning to do integration this weekend for both.
Detection + Tracking: Integration of the model into CV side code.
Funding
Electrical: PCB Components + F7 Chips, for the two new projects, use same number as last cycle (or similar, increase this number). FLIR Thermal Camera (pick prices off google).
Computer Vision: Research and finalize, hardware to support point cloud generation
Mechanical: Entirety of wishlist?
Firmware: Dev Boards and Arduino ($800)
general: Hot air station, ELOAD, Extension cord, new laptop, RC Trainer and Training Aircraft
