• Core frame (structural frame) finished (rev 1, initial versions of everything)

• 3D printed arm mounting/spacers tight now.

• Landing gear not feeling super good right now.

  • Hoping to shorten landing gear once cabin is determined

• Pushing for sensor integration mounts

• Smile to bring monster cam soon (opflow, lidar, pilot cam)

• Needs timeline for kicking this off…

• Not sure about action plan so far

• Battery shroud to be coming soon

ggers

• Documents in progress.

• Conops & Cabin dependent

• TBD.

• Neel + Nathan + ? wired up 3-phase through tubes. MT30’s on center block and bullet connectors on motor ends.

• Big wiring session by EE went pre well.

• Gender of XT60’s was reversed. (and maybe 3-phase)

  • @Daniel Puratich Documented Outcome of discussion in 2024 System Architecture | General Gender Conventions more discussion in discord.

  • No worries: On Mistakes

• Have (3) people review solder + bench test before putting into system.

• Michael finished Rev1 of PCB this weekend.

  • Internal comments need to be written down / justified in confluence.

  • May have outstanding comments?

• @Michael Botros to request ELRS discord review.

• Need to send BOM & get IC’s ordered. Everything in stock.

  • Reminder to use Internal Purchase Protocol (ARCHIVE) which should orient you to #ops-purchase-requests ? If not talk to finance (Wingchee)

• @Daniel Puratich provided more review (it’s really really close, super good work from Michael!)

• Need to ensure correct baud rate across the system.

• Anni to document TX16 internal → EP1 rx → gemini tx → gemini rx → FC

• From Arjun - Yaw only done

• Pitch component almost done.

  • Working on slimming down overall weight/size

  • Small tweaks & fixes to lessen weight of mechanism

  • Need to order parts & Build

Open

Yaw only antenna tracker

Open

Yaw & Pitch model

Questions:

• Where are batteries going?

• Communication with groundstation?

  • Mostly wireless (gemini hops, video relays, xbee/rfd hops, etc).

  • Ideally no running wires

• How are we not tangling cables and how are we ensuring power?

  • At least 1 servo wire. … potentially possible to flip the servo so that servo is mounted on bottom of the plate so that servo moves with the assembly

From Nolan:

• Slowdown (hardy & nolan both busy).

• Timeline uncertain….?

  • Current setup valid for firmware testing, just not pretty. (broken out & soldered on proto board)

From Daniel:

• the prototype will work for firmware dev but the electronics are all splayed out. The Nucleo hat will clean things up a lot, fair to assign out to a new member, but it needs to be assigned out!

From Nolan:

• were having issues with calibration of magnetometer. Unsure if yuchen resolved it.

From Daniel:

• Discord convo: here

• Issue is potentially because we are misinterpreting the data. Proof up to Yuchen

For anni:

• Ping in yuchen next time gg

• Need to make training data as similar as we can to what we get at competition then it will perform well

• Nothing complicated (Given the possible landing pads from cluster estimation)

  • pick 1 based on simple metrics

  •  

• Amy & Mihir working on MAVLink integration. UART1 not working

  • UART0 has debugging enabled

  • Ideal that we use UART1. Would have to disable debugging to use UART0… no way to re-flash if borked.

• Working on dronekit for mavlink integ

await conops

• Ground spinup

• basic sensor calibrations

• @Daniel Puratich Doing the training and will do the booking soon tm

• Pre, flight, post

• pick pilot/gso and get used to running through this
