Updates this week!
(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)
Empty tasks:
Neo M.8 (hardy & ayoung)
SBUS
Optical Flow sensor
Guy: Looking to test the protocol and get communicating with the board asap
I’m not in Waterloo regularly but is there a board that I could take home to test?
Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)
ZeroPilot 3
System Manager (Gordon)
Aiming for a “thing” (not yet MVP) to use for Sunday
Mostly dependency work left to integrate AM and LOS
PR will be updated
Architecture discussion for Friday
MVP after Nov 27th test
Requires TM and PM methods
Document of post-MVP tasks is up.
Path Manager (neha)
Basic Structure PR is up
No new updates
Attitude Manager (anni, aidan, jack)
Fixed issues and merged fixed wing into new arch
PR up to merge new arch into main
Telemetry Manager (Aadi)
LCM messages generated and working
CRC32 checking working
Need to figure out how LOS Telem will work
Need to write a bit more code generation stuff to make helper functions because LCM doesnt have support for predefined constant values nor does it have support for uint16_t and then we should be good to go with basic structure PR.
AFTER PR: work on xbee driver for los telem
AFTER PR: potentially write a parser that parses over LCM messages and generates either messages themselves OR just generate helper functions that make LCM stuff work better for us (I prefer this for now)
LOS
@Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:
Didn’t get a chance to fix the build issues, got busy with other stuff
I don’t think LOS has started being tested either
@Anthony Bertnyk LOS Telem: Draft PR https://github.com/UWARG/LaminarOS/pull/28 with header and data structs.
@Mostafa Hussein LOS Pos:
@Hailey Doleweerd LOS Comms: (JJ MIA?)
@Christopher Chung LOS_Link :
Finished up LOS_Link
Created GitHub - UWARG/efs-zeropilot-3.0 at testing/LOS_Link branch to test LOS_Link by creating a testing thead to fetch link data
Synced up with Kenson and explained LOS, ZP3, PPM, and first steps to test
@Ayoung Eun @Hardy Yu Airspeed & Neo M.8
airspeed has data?
@Stanley Tang vn-300?
Currently debugging the VN-300 Driver
Systems Tooling & Infra
Infra + Devops
meet Hiren k!
Simulator (SIL) @Taim Al-Dabbagh @Mostafa Hussein
Confluence page now updated with explaination of simulator flowchart and more resources
Try importing mesh of (current or previous) WARG aircraft into scenario visualization (scenario visualization is what visualizes the flight)
Create 3D map of competition area using Google Maps and other tools to change enviroment of simulator / scenario visualization
Playing with Simulink to simulate flight of generic fixed-wing model (trying to figure out force calculations, it spins like crazy in scenario visualization)
HIL (Hardware In the Loop) Controller
@Jack Greenwood
I2C mock interface up (needs testing)
Connected IMU to I2C mock interface
Ported VN-300 Driver, working on setting up the mock
Discussed PDB plans with electrical - more discussion to come soon
Currently working on PPM output
Tracking Antenna (kevin, yuchen)
Doing research on antennas
Trying to get a rough draft done for mechanical to look at by this week
Logging
need logging driver? (LOS Interface)
Priorities next week:
STUCK!
Action Items
Things to look out for!
New antennas & more rc links.
