• Lots of people interested in EFS social (16). Need to find location big enough.

• Competition interest form https://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=h1o6cprzIkqSRz_CQMATlohH8WBFXHtOjCR7Pcx0oF1UQzFXMFFCSU4xNk5LUTc4RVZMNkRYOEZSTS4u

M1 Drivers Ethan Leung

• Message Queue Dami Peng

  • Off-site but can still work on it

• Motor Channel (PWM) Bill Lu

  • On-site and able to continue working

• RC Receiver Chandise Anderson

  • Currently working on RC driver

  • Implemented the conversion from SBUS to RC data

  • Implemented parsing the raw SBUS data

  • Currently working on the DMA aspect of the driver

• Watchdog Ronald You

  • Driver was complete

  • Realized the driver is unnecessary and for simplicity can be implemented in the ioc

  • An abstraction layer is still needed for mock tests

  • IOC is updated, need to update the abstraction

• SD Card Ari Van Cruyningen

M2/3/4 Drivers

• RFD900

• IMU + AHRS Liam Suter Kelvin Feng Richard Dong

  • Calibrating of BMX160 going well

    • Sensible readings on gyro and accelerometer

  • Researching best sensor fusion alg to use (will prooobably try Kalman first as it’s simple)

• GPS Ria Prakash

• CRSF Uzayr Hussaini

Attitude Manager

• 1-to-1 Motor Output

• Failsafe Raiyan Samin

• Arm / Disarm Raiyan Samin

Baud Rate Auto Sensing Teighan Miller

Sensor Cluster

• Barometer

  • On pause until EE gets board

• IMU

• Lidar Aidan Fisher

• Magnetometer Henry Wu

  • tested integration with CAN

  • rx working with CAN

  • tx signal on logic analyzer, but nack sometimes

• PixArt OFS
