Groundside (Antenna tracker and IMACS)

Ground Control Station Integration 2025

  • Sysint

    • Most sysint is happing on EE side for now

    • Ordering ESP32 based seeeduinos

  • Mech

    • No updates on antenna tracker, not urgent

    • @Calum Chisholm Is working on IMACS hardware

  • Auto

    • Making progress

    • Creating widgets to display information, maps

    • Testing connection to the vehicle

    • On track with updates from previous meetings

  • EE

    • On track to have first schematic draft complete by next week

    • Removing SPI pins

    • No barometer onboard, can use GPS alt if needed

    • Connector for M9N/M10 (6-pin) GPS being added, UART and I2C

  • EFS

    • Waiting for board to port code over

    • MAVProxy on groundside for multiple nodes

 

Pegasus

Big Quad 2025

  • Sysint

    •  

  • Mech

    • Design for waterproofing is complete, looking into manufacturing materials

    • EP2 case design is complete, printer being sent for CSA approval

    • VTX antenna case design is complete

    • Need to make BEC (Matek 12S → 5V) and pixhawk mounts

  • Auto

    • Geolocation tested, not accurate enough to land on landing pad

    • Going to implement precision landing for final descent

  • EE

    • Pegasus 2 wiring session tomorrow, wiring as much as possible

      • Start from the pix and work out. Define specifics for wiring harnesses and manufacture them. This involves coming up with a reasonably specific placement scheme to determine wire lengths. I have a vague idea but more needs to be defined here. Shorten and attach connectors to the motor phase wires and battery wires. Also create low current harnesses. The goal here is to develop a solid idea of what the harnessing will physically look like and execute it as much as possible. As far as I’m aware all required components are in the bay. Motor phase and battery harnesses need to be located but should be present.

  • EFS

    • CAN is going well
