Groundside (Antenna tracker and IMACS)

Ground Control Station Integration 2025

Sysint
Mech
- EP2 (or EP1 dual)? mount
- VTX antenna mount
Auto
- Going well
- Have a display by the end of the term
- No tasks for pathing, mostly research
EE
- Working on block diagram for improved AAT board
- Component selection after block diagram
- Board can be made bigger if needed
- Put 3 servo headers just in case
- No STM version
EFS
- Bulk of development work for tracking antenna M2 is done. Need to clean everything up into a production system (i.e. proper network SSID and Password handling)
  - ESP32 for WiFi
  - Works with a simulated MAVLink stream (mission planner sim → mavproxy → tracking antenna)
- Need to start development of production WiFi network with router, so far using @Roni Kant hotspot
  - Setup static IPs for our ground station elements and the RPi
  - Setup ELRS MAVLink RC, and test streaming of MAVLink with that

Pegasus

Big Quad 2025

Sysint
- Ordered parts to finish pegasus 2, pixhawk arrived
- VTX and motors have not arrived yet
- Gemini TX module arrived, 250mW iFlight receiver
Mech
- New pixhawk mount for peggy 2
- Maybe motor protectors are worth it for peggy 2 to prevent dents
- Waterproofing design done, need to review by next week
  - Planning on thermoforming it
Auto
- Geolocation tested on ground, will be tested in air this weekend
- Reviving auto-landing script project and integrating with current system
- Set up the pi 5, power is available on houston
EE
- EE peggy airside meeting this thursday for peggy 2 bringup ASAP
  - This meeting is the discussion of what will be done
EFS
- Figuring out CAN
  - Preliminary research mostly done, moving on to first prototypes
    - Current goal of reading node status message broadcast by Pixhawk on STM32
  - Data fills buffer on STM32, but none of it is recognized as valid CAN frames
    - Figure out why the data from Pixhawk is not being parse as CAN frames
