@Avani Joshi

• Researched sinusoidal control

• Did more research on back EMF

• Update Confluence with research

• Research on trapezoidal and field oriented control

@Jason Skells

• Got more info about the most recent comp’s radio system

  • 433MHz link for manual controls,  DJI Lightbridge  (and all video processing was done on the ground), 2.4GHz link for telemetry

• Heard that Sahil is looking at using OpenHD thus reducing our radio system to only 2 links, manual controls and OpenHD

• Look at setting up a meeting with Anthony and Frank to extract more info from them

• Reach out to sahil and find out his progress/help with the OpenHD testing

@Kevin Li

• Finished PCB layout and ordered 5 boards

• Benchmark our current sensor stack against PixHawk

@Kiran Surendran

• Confirmed required specs for flight controller chips (tldr; as long as we can do what the F7 can do anything is fine)

• Safety MCU WILL be required for the board, as outlined in the competition documents

• Continue with safety MCU research (dropping ESP32 after discussion with Sahil and Dhruv)

• Begin deep analysis of flight controller chip? Actual selection?

@Lance Bantoto (Deactivated)

@Muhammad Tanveer

• Continued research into BMS and looked further into ways to calculate SOC (Coulomb counting, Temp/OCV)

• Continue looking at more commercial BMS’s and getting a sense of how they operate

• Begin research on power electronics (MOSFETs)
