Discussion regarding the EFS direction in winter 2024

  • Will be similar to last term, we will be doing of the shelf stuff paralleled with zero pilot work in order to fulfill the needs of the competition.

 

Main Projects:

ZeroPilot

  • drivers

    • fix sbus(m1)

    • Le Kang - SD card

    • Stanley Tang - neo m.8 gps, this is the driver for tracking antenna and also I think he moved to developing the driver for VN300

    • Polly Liu - IMU

    • Mahir Mahota - Airspeed

    • Fola Fatola - Altimeter

    • Tom Chiu - Rangefinder

  • attitude manager

    • Aiden was running the team - we better find a PM for AM

    • Anthony Bertnyk - map input channels

    • Anthony Bertnyk - working on FBWA?

    • Roni Kant - send output channels

  • path manager

    • Neha Srivastava - working on arch still?

    • Neha Srivastava - fixed wing auto take off

    • Liang Li - processing and waypoints

  • telemetry manager

    • Bringing up Yarema Dzulynsky to the PM of TM

    • Bring more people into TM development

    • Checking in with the TM Team

      • Is Rahual still on the team?

    • Yarema Dzulynsky - basic tm

  • ZP validation

    • Validation image - Ethan is on that, check if he is onsite this term

  • SIL

    • Mostafa Hussein to PM

    • meet with team to discuss goals and progress

  • HIL

    • check in with members(still on the team and on a task)

      • Yash Karthik

      • Patrick Yuan

      • Sarim Muqeet

 

Tracking Antenna

  • STM version

    • Stanley is playing with VN300

    • Yuchen also part of the team

    • Hardy - thinking of joining the team and pushing the progress

  • Arduino

    • Aryan will be offsite this term, which will add difficulty to his development

    • Ayoung is onsite again - remembering her working on the python script

 

COTS

  • gemini

    • take over testing

  • rtk gps

    • ask assignees for progress

      • Yash Karthik

      • Ethan Leung

  • can sensor board

    • Hardy will make an architecture and part selection, and show the solution to the ee team for validation. Then the code development can be handed to someone else on the team

 

Workshop:

Plane Making Workshop - run by Ayoung and Taim if they are available

Notes:

Zeropoilt should move on to milestone 3

following the milestone structure: Milestones

if we fuck it up, we revert to the prev milestone

 

Setting up the Project Managers is pretty important

 

Hardy: Feel like the tracking antenna has been stuck on driver developing

 

Aadi: Keeps expanding the COTS stuff because this is how efs contributes to the comp

 

Write down all the available tasks, track the state of the progress and check if the person is still on the task

 

Recap the people’s availability onsite

 

Get some new tasks in hand before the start of term is good

 

EFS people can do the part selection to the CAN board, do an architecture and show to ee member to complete the board. ask daniel for more detail - Hardy can take the job of making the architecture

 

Bootcamper onboarding session should be divided among the leads, Chris will be available to respond to questions in the thread, but the voice chat will be only available after 9. Keep the session online. Update the bootcamp doc such that it they pin the leads instead of the names.

 

If we run out of tasks we can ask help from directors. Telling them we have no task is better than giving them useless boring task.
