Pathing

Balaji Leninrajan Evan Zhao

• Pathing sync happened last Sunday (2025-01-26 Pathing Sync )

  • Updating common version used in pathing

  • Refactor to remove dronkit and replace with common mavlink

  • Test both to make sure that there are no breaking changes

  • Future tasks will be added after the updates

  • If members are interested in helping with the migration to the latest version of common ping Balaji Leninrajan in https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1022868375178854410 to work out details

    • Can be handled by PMs but might be a good chance for new members to learn about the system if there is enough bandwidth for non comp tasks

• Integration with Obstacle Avoidance later?

  • Will discuss with leads and Vyomm Khanna

  • Might have to wait till end of Feb to free up time to push for comp related stuff

• Honzik Schenk and Evan Zhao have PRs up for their tasks

Vibhinn Gautam

• Working on reviewing PRs from last term - should be done within a week.
  - Seems like RTL button has been merged.
  - UI to change ports/connection also seems nearly complete.

• I see some tasks on Asana are labeled as ‘in progress’ - who is working on them?

• Will start assigning tasks from next week onwards as it seems like a lot of tasks are waiting on other subtasks.

Obstacle Avoidance

Vyomm Khanna

• Dug through the OA Repo, reached out to Andrew Shumto finalise some stuff

• Good amount of OA Documentation is ready!

• Need to setup a sync with Tong Zhang to discuss 1) how we should optimise OA further, 2) Schedule ground and flight tests 3) possibility of drone transmitting a constantly updating 2D FoV of nearby obstacles to ground station during flight.
