Updates this week!

(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)

Empty tasks:

  • System Manager

  • Optical Flow Sensor

  • NEO M.8

  • SBUS

  • pairing rc links

  • airspeed

  • i forget all the rest oh no

Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)

  • will be starting soon

    • yuchen starting on sunday earliest. Not sure if code finished. Will double check with Jack.

  • need someone to verify code on port.

ZeroPilot 3

System Manager (anni, Gordon, Aadi)

  • documentation coming out soon. see AM architecture meeting for more info.

  • Will be split up into sizeable chunks so that gordon/aadi/kevin can bring it up together.

Path Manager (neha)

  • Finished defining FSM, prioritizing getting takeoff/landing manager working with the rest of PM

  • PM Re Architecture For MVP

  • Takeoff/landing initial implementation at MVP state (Thanks gordon!)

  • Updated diagram and documentation coming out after this meeting

Attitude Manager (anni)

Telemetry Manager (unassigned atm)

  • more telemetry manager stuff coming out soon

LOS

  • Both STM32F401RE and STM32L5ZEQ compiles using CMake with the build script

  • LaminarOS repo has been restructured and organized and ready to be developed on

  • Currently the biggest issue is interrupts are not “trigger” (or so we think) when the software is being build with CMake but when built with the cube IDE it works fine.

    • This means that the issue occurs during the construction of the binary through CMake, which will be looked into further this weekend by Chris

  • There is a specific pattern that should consistent through LOS which has been somewhat defined in Los Link branch, please talk to Chris to get more info or to provide suggestions

  • @Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:

    • First iteration of interface is implemented

    • Will be opening a PR soon (TM)

    • Have some concerns/topics of discussion about LOS architecture to go over before can finalize Actuators

  • @Anthony Bertnyk LOS Telem:

  • @Mostafa Hussein LOS Pos:

  • @Hailey Doleweerd LOS Comms:

  • @Christopher Chung LOS_Link :

    • rssi by ishman. maybe LQ as well. Maybe SBUS as well.

Systems Tooling & Infra

Infra + Devops

  • @Ishman Mann now in charge of docker & ssh setup. Can probably also help us figure out some more integration stuff.

Simulator

  • Matlab/simulink chosen?

  • getting familiar with it before tackling simulator

  • looking into unit testing & resources pertaining to that.

  • link up with mostafa and tackle the simulator.

  • lookup on UAV toolbox

  • look up simnet also! see #mech for more info.Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games

  •  

Comms Emulator

  • @Jack Greenwood

  • Looking at what to bring over from LOS.

  • Building new project

  • wokring on telem data

    • needs to know what telemetry data we want to send.

  • 1-2 weeks upper bound.

Tracking Antenna (kevin, yuchen)

  • Software is done

  • Has been simulated matlab #efs-groundside

Logging

  • Stanley finishing SD Card driver.

 

Priorities next week:

  • TUNE Phoenix

STUCK!

Team Member Updates

Anni:

  • Overall Architecture document complete

  • System Manager/attitudeManager documentation coming out soon.

Gordon:

  • Takeoff/Landing at MVP state (without testing)

    • Working on PM stuff with Neha

  • Defined reference frame and documented it.

Jack:

  • Getting useful code from LOS for software development

  • Setting up comms between nucleo

  • Picking up system architecture task soon

  • Spoke with electrical about board potential

    • Defined next steps for development

  • Working on fixed-wing controls algorithm

Stanley

  • Finished SD Driver

  • Need to move SD Driver to LOS repo

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

  • Nuked the LOS repo to get the structure correct

  • Currently LOS “supports” Nucleo f401re and L5 but only F401re compiles

  • LaminarOS Repo Structure

Neha

  • Finalized diagram and will update documentation

  • will be working on hover mode

  • SM ↔︎ PM comms will be a problem later (but not now)

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)
