DEBRIEF
Action items
Test the OSD with a multimeter to see why it was cutting out.
they do have a common ground.
so maybe the noise induces
ground is not 0. becomes noise in the ground line, so the difference between high and low voltage is negligible.
wires too long, so reduce the interference
Shorten wires for entire video system. move things around.
new mount that incorporates both the front and bottom video cameras
LTE system, test in north campus
look at forcing it to stay on 1 LTE network and not try switching
find LTE map for different towers
Secure antenna upright harder (tape or something temporary)
Test autolanding on pegasus
Test pathing on pegasus
check transmitters are on the drones
Make sure parameters are ready to fly on after configuration
calibrate compass on houston
Change arm switch on houston model to match peggy
Auto mission
integrate auto landing with pathing
take all the pathing waypoints from the conops and offset them so they’re at wrestRC
make the last waypoint go into auto land mode
Talk to mech about barbies or equivalent weight simulations
process the signal RPI data
