PR’s and Reviews
A couple from Jack, a few from Yuchen, etc.
need to redo the pwm PR based on ZeroPilot-SW/Safety/src/pwm.cpp line: 67-74
Updates this week!
(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)
Path Manager
Finalized definition of waypoints, etc. Will be grinding PM this weekend
Takeoff/landing
can use velocity targetting in AM
Math should be good to go.
how long until simulator testing?
Attitude Manager
redefined FSM → will implement over Reading week.
Telemetry Manager
got the xbee library made by aadi, may need to adapt to RFD 900.
Will have xbee rtf e.o. next week
LOS
Tasks for LOS are out!
Guy: LOS Actuators
Chris: LOS Link
Mostafa: LOS Pos
Tony: LOS Telem
Stanley: SD Card Driver prototype
This weekend we will go over proposals on how people want to implement their interface and I (Chris) will hopefully get the LOS repo sorted out.
Infra + Devops
Simulator
Matlab/simulink chosen?
getting familiar with it before tackling simulator
Tuning + Testing
Priorities next week:
GET LOS DONE
tune
test
STUCK!
Team Member Updates
Anni:
I hate how STM32 uses DIFFERENT connectors on EVERY nucleo.
Gordon:
Looking for a Path Manager to build off
Would like to make a document with the different cases for Path Manager
Design of takeoff and landing seems pretty much unchanged from earlier
If I can pass velocity targets to AM that would be awesome, but only if already required
Jack:
PR Integrating SF code + more states in AM. Fixed issues with running SF and AM running in parallel
Looking into more AM/PM work in the future
Looking into crossfire drivers
Stanley
Started working on SD card driver for logging
Need to test the SD card driver implementation from Tutorial: An SD card over SPI using STM32CubeIDE and FatFS on an actual SD Card
Yuchen Lin
need to redo the pwm output for the and will be testing it next week
need to take a look at the aadi xbee communication library and perform the RFD 900 range test and drop package test next week.
Chris
Had a meeting with all LOS mans to go over what LOS is and task distribution/what everyone will be responsible for delivering
Planned out what the LOS repo is going to look at and some of the smaller details such as where main is going to live and how ZP software will create threads if main lives in LOS. Can refer here for current notes: LaminarOS Repo Structure
Taim
Worked with Mostafa to come up with architecture proposal for simulator
Learning MATLAB/Simulink to get familiar with the program (Simulink is chosen for simulator)
Things to look out for!
New RC-Link modules
New VTX modules
Oh-so-many antennas
testbed airframes
