Flight Test Debrief

  • Flight test from past weekend pushed to Feb 2nd

    • past flight testdid not happen

  • Next FT

    • IR Camera test

    • Foam Fixed wing

Task 1

  • Were standoffs for the filters printed for cameras?

    • there is one IR camera can be moved between the drone

    • one printed remotely

    • will print another one @Evan Janakievski (transfer or print a new one)

    • limited onsite members

  • Are all autonomy workers merged? (System ready to operate at competition level?)

    • Any work session?

      • One PM working on it

      • issue resolved yesterday

      • test plan: during the week , not testing the mavlink this week

  • Status on Holybro dev kit for EFS tuning? Has it arrived? Can it be built this weekend (Feb 2-3)?

    • no drone?

    • no frame but have all the electronics

    • Will print it tmr (ir cam use the existing mount)

    • ready by thursday

  • Peggy2 comms issue

    • will debug it this weekend

  • 12V-5V 4A Buck + ELRS RX: End User Manual

Task 2

  • Updates for Task 2 solution from Mech?

    • will grind this week

    • might need 2 pumps

  • Update for single servo driver boards?

  • Email AEAC if we can get part marks from just getting into position from auto

    • Was this done?

  • Tested pumps today

    • New pump can suck 3m no problem without reaching its current rating

    • Old pump even going downwards jammed up and wasnt pumping. Didnt try too hard to debug since this is def not reliable enough to use for comp

  • EE did power analysis for the payload

  • Pixhawk does not have room to run servos. We will need supporting ee hardware for that

    • 12 Servo module?

      • There are no working boards?

    • Single servo?

    • Ideally we wont need it cause no winch

  • PDB has plenty of headroom on current. 12V rail can be used to run the pumps.

Other

  • Tracking antenna updates?

    • still debugging

    • pulled data from the sim, need to pull from the actual drone now

  • What is status of LED system?

    • team of three people assigned out to tasks needed to make it work

    • hopefully will get it finished soonish (start of March)

  • Any ideas for packing and transporting drone?

    • no updates

    • required for comp :d

    • shouldn’t take very long

  • IMACS updates? Won’t be ready for this comp cycle, but updates in general?

    • low priority

    • would rather do tuning and focus on other things

    • GUI is also low prio, as there is other things that are comp critical

Flight Test Planning

Pegasus issues

  • Having ELRS connection issues with Pegasus 2

    • Need to check if model match if off for the drone itself, but it is off on the Beta FPV backpack

    • Same binding phrase

    • Using the gemini-mavlink model on controller

  • Flight testing peggy?

    • Hopefully start by start of March, and then be able to test every week

 

  • What are we testing next?

    • IR camera testing

      • Need to take CV camera off and put IR camera on

        • @Camilo Artigas Alos i (evan) can call you one day and explain what needs to be done to replace the cam with the IR one

  • When are we testing it?

    • Feb 2nd, 2025

  • Who is testing it?

    • @Yuchen Lin driving flight test

    • @Evan Janakievski may be able to be present
