Action Items:

  • Set up a new repo for development (3.1)

    • decide on IOC for ZP and nucleo for milestones 1 and 2

    • port over finished drivers

    • ask people to port over code from major branches

    • Make configurations for ZP and nucleos

 

Milestones

  1. Fixed wing manual (stick input to servo/motor output)

    1. https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/manual-mode.html

    2. PPM or SBUS input

    3. PWM output

    4. Arm/Disarm

    5. RSSI or Watchdog

  2. Fly with Logging and Telemetry

    1. Basic Telemetry Manager (works with MAVLink Mission planner)

    2. RFD900 drivers

    3. SD driver

  3. Fixed wing Fly By Wire A (stick inputs map to pitch and roll angles, others are same as acro)
