PR’s and Reviews
Draft PR for PM auto takeoff/landing (Gordon, Stanley, Liang, Aadi(?)): PM Takeoff/Landing Implementation by nehasriva025 · Pull Request #25 · UWARG/efs-zeropilot-3.0
STUCK!
Priorities & Action Items:
fill out team roster here: WARG Team Roster Info Sheet
you must complete the training to work onsite. Deadline is Jan 31
W23 Buy List Coordination (Taim , Yuchen, Ryan, Simone, Hamza)
Deadline for flight critical systems Feb 4 & Feb 11
PPM, Comms, TM, etc.
Ideally we run an integration test feb11.
Updates this week!
(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)
ZeroPilot 3
ZP-Ardupilot Integration (Stanley, Alex)
needs mavlink messages to be defined
have been defined, will be implemented
Stanley & Alex working on driver in LOS
Stanley Mavlink
new los_mav interface
Alex PPM Output, Controller decoding
System Manager (Gordon, Stanley)
Gordon to come up with payload for mavlink
GlobalFlag object approved, waiting to merge as it is part of base ZP3 arch, not comp arch.
Path Manager (neha, Liang)
Synced with Liang → will start waypoint following implementation
PM Takeoff/landing builds → draft PR up (if i havent added link you have permission to yell at me)
I know there were some SM changes → does that affect this
Plan is to make it a real PR, get approved, and merge before flying on a drone then make another branch for “fixes” (this is so the branch doesn’t get super old and outdated while being tested)
Attitude Manager (Ishman, Armaan)
needs tuning
Anni had a quick meeting to let them know of what attitude manager is
Main task is to get Phoenix tuned
Deliverables: document on plan to get tuning done.
Doc:Attitude Manager: Winter 2023 Plan | \uD83D\uDDD3 Timeline (Task 1)
IMPLEMENTATION TALK:
be aware of battery charging protocol… ask Ayoung for docs
before jumping into tuning, do motor spinup test, put some really large values, take props off, and see if you get expected behaviour (this is to clear up initial bugs)
Timeline: Feb 18 for probs on testing
Telemetry Manager (aadi)
CV side of RFD driver merged in WARG common, new repo that contains common code… same driver for air and ground side.
Having sync tomorrow
LOS_Comms: got interrupts working, need to follow los interface pattern.
Plan to finish writing and testing tomorrow
LOS
Interface
LOS POS (Mostafa)
got bmx160 working on L5
couldn’t get sensor fusion to work
send message to anni to talk about possible issues
LOS Link
Configurations need to be re-added.
LOS Actuators
PWM did output, since the clock freq changed to 110Mhz it messed up timing.
Will add runtime calculations to make sure the timing is correct no matter the configuration (clock freq, prescaler, period)
LOS Telem/comms (aadi, yuchen, hailey, alex)
Look at Telemetry Manager Update
Logging?
DARWIN HA
Drivers (lets try and get names added soon)
VN-300 (Tony)
Last known thing was that it wasn’t working with L5.
Able to try UART to VN to and from ardunio
next step is to test with L5 nucleo, new project, pure UART stream
Neo M.8 (Ayoung, Hardy)
Works now! GPS sensor can receive data from sat
Can parse data into useable information
Compared to google coordinates and the integer part is the same but the decimal is different
Faced problem when using the debugger that they went into the hardfault handler
airspeed (Hardy, Ayoung)
No update… still waiting on testing
SD Card (Darwin)
Mavlink? ()Tony/Alex
See Zp ardu integration section
RFD900? (Los Telem/Comms team)
See Telemetry manager section
Jetson? (Los Telem/Comms team)
See Telemetry manager section
Current/Voltage Sense (Aryan)
currently setting up ADC driver that can be converted to current and voltage sensor
Systems Tooling & Infra
Infra + Devops
No one has picked this up yet. Aadi will after TM is done.
Simulator (SIL) (Mostafa, Alex, Taim, ???)
no update unfortunately
need to draft email to aiden’s prof
HIL (Hardware In the Loop) Controller (Yuchen, Mahir)
scope document: HIL Controller version 0.1.x
wraping up the code and start testing
Will finish before feb 4th
discussing with sahil about the impl
Not in the call due to a call with sahil
Tracking Antenna (Rahul…temp)
No update. Will work on after LOS POS.
List of Open Tasks
optical flow sensor
Bidir DShot
SD Card Logging driver
USB Logging
Tracking Antenna?
LOS Link with CRSF SBUS
Add IOC configuration on Main ZP
LOS_LOG
