Active Projects

Drone Harness (Neel)

• @Neel Patel

• OSD not working on the flight test is likely not an electrical issue but a firmware one, found out that the disable pin on the OSD is being set to high when drone is armed from pixhawk side so as soon as the drone is armed the OSD is disabled

• No other updates this week
