Comp Critical Boards
- Tracking Antenna Rev 2
  - in review and will be ready to order for Nov 11th
  - replaced buck and efuse circuits
  - on track for comp
  - will be assembled and tested in W25
  - so far REV 1 has been working on tracking antenna by powering it off of a separate buck, so firmware should have minimal work here
- LED Board Rev 3
  - fully assembled, tested, and harnessed on the drone
  - currently on Peggy 2 with constant colour
- LED Board Rev 4
  - board is reviewed and ready to order for Nov 11th
  - possibly adding side-view LEDs to make lighting more visible from different angles
- Potential Water Pump Boards
  - Single Servo Driver
    - fully validated electrically according to Single Servo Driver Test Plan
    - handing off to firmware to get CAN-SERVO working
  - Water System Controller
    - reviewed and ready for order for Nov 11th
    - can be assembled once order comes in if needed, else possibly wait until next term? - input wanted on timeline for this
Peggy 2 Harnessing
- RPi harnessing schematic is in the works and on track to be completed by Tuesday Nov 12th
- harness assembly to be done on Wednesday Nov 13th during the work sesh
board bringup priority list for next term should be made

Tracking Antenna: Will be testing YAW tracking during this Nov 10th Flight Test. Tracking Antenna is able to track location of drone with a high degree of accuracy (this was done by manually moving the drone around by hand). Ideally can finish Pitch Tracking next week, and once tested, this part of the project will be finished.
- Command line mavproxy is easier to use than mission planner
CAN LED: CAN integration part is in progress
CAN Servo: Validated the CAN connectivity on 6s Servo Module. Intend to move the working code from the Nucleo board to a single servo driver in two weeks.
CAN ESC: Resolved the timer issue on the CAN ESC board. Able to generate DShot wave from the PCB. Will look into the CAN interface next. Hopefully, this can also be done within two weeks.

Payload:
- CAD review yesterday: 2024-11-06 Pegasus Payload & Landing Gear + Eclipse CAD review
- CAD will be finalized for both on Monday, manufacturing starting next week
Landing gear:
- Angled landing gear design also reviewed yesterday
- finalized by Monday, manufacturing next week
Bottom panel:
- Going to remake the bottom plate with less cheese holes - we were going to do this layup on the weekend but our resin is rusty
- Put in an order for more epoxy, might be on backorder though
IR Camera:
- Added to monster mount, will be mounted earlier than Nov 14th (Shoutout Camilo for speedy turn-around)
LED Wiring
- Arm was removed today to run the cable through the one arm that it wasn’t before
- PSA, please don’t use gorilla tape to secure wires, expensive and leaves residue, please use zip-ties

From ground tests with picamera, it seems to be able to auto-adjust to different brightness. 2024 IR Hotspot Images
IR emitter

The sun

- The sky still looks very white, but grass and trees are less reflective, although still pretty white.
- Looking directly into the sun is very white, but the IR emitter looks pretty much as bright as the sun
Geolocation ground test ongoing, works in simulator, code has been uploaded and setup, although not tested outside with GPS yet.
- Will get someone to test outside hopefully tomorrow or Saturday, also check the home_location issue
