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)

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

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)

 

Logging

  • need logging driver? (LOS Interface)

Priorities next week:

 

STUCK!
