Team Member Updates

Anni

  • Began tuning on MPU6050

    • PID works, canโ€™t get good data out of IMU

    • Angles just go to crazy values, making it very difficult to tune

Aadi, Manav, Neha

  • Working with Neha and Manav on switching Path manager to VTOL

  • PM Restructure

  • List of demands for sensor fusion

Aidan

  • BMX160 is looking good! output ~seems~ correct, but we donโ€™t have a magnetometer calibration, so the readings from that are garbage.

  • Fixed the ppm bug that was hardfaulting safety when the receiver was connected

  • DSHOT looks to be working properly, waiting for the PR to be officially opened before I can accept the review

  • Learned that SF needs to run at 200Hz, so we need to get rtos threads in asap so that we can test the IMUโ€™s more effectively

Chris

  • Called Yash on monday and discussed Safety f-rtos transfer.

  • Dhruv assigned Chris to arm/disarm

  • Working on getting DSHOT Pr IN

David

  • Trying to get drone spinning, trying to print out IMU Values.

  • Maybe BMX160 on autopilot soon?

Dhruv

  • working on BMX with aidan

  • Figuring out how to move forward with merge-ing changes.

    • If anyone has insight, let us know

Gordon

  • Bootcamp PR reviews

  • Meeting for Takeoff/Landing

  • Maybe add Takeoff and Landing to PM PR?
