2025-03-03 EFS Meeting

M1 Drivers @Ethan Leung

M2/3/4 Drivers

IMU + AHRS @Liam Suter @Kelvin Feng @Richard Dong
- To ping them to ask abt equipment and whats going on

GPS @Ria Prakash @Ronak Patel
- Finished implementation with circular dma
- Created PR
- To be reviewed

Attitude Manager @Ayoung Eun

1-to-1 Motor Output @Ayoung Eun
- Discuss plan of action for AM with leads after this meeting

System Manager @Manasva Katyal

Telemetry Manager @Charan Tadepalli

Infrastructure @Thuvaragan Prathifkumar

Finished naming conventions, made a branch called “infrastructure“ and pushed changes to this branch

ZP Board Validation @Ari Van Cruyningen

LED Board @Nick Armstrong@Tochi Okoro @Billy Karantzoulis

Working dronecan RX and TX!!!!!!!!!!
- External HSE on one of the boards doesn’t work so switched to using the internal clock.
add custom dronecan packets
Lua script “Hello World“ working. Send a dronecan message. Put it together
reimplemented state machine

Servo @Hardy Yu @Allan Su @Ethan Leung

Neopixel-LED-support
- Finishing up implementation of the lighting controller for single servo board, probably can start testing soon this week or next week
Dynamic node allocation implementation almost done. Need to test, help with setting up hardware

6s Power Module @Bryan Ma@Aditya Sharma @Andrew Wang

Baud Rate Auto Sensing @Teighan Miller

Sensor Cluster

Barometer
- Paused until EE board is assembled
IMU
- Paused until ZP driver
Lidar @Aidan Fisher
- Went through the code and made some comments
Magnetometer @Henry Wu
- In a good shape now
PixArt OFS
- Paused until EE board is assembled
Radar @Henry Wu
- Setup chip select function for the two peripherals communicating over the same SPI bus
- Looking into the API to change from active polling to blocking mode

Tracking Antenna @Larry Pan

Good progress this week, testing is almost done
Jackie said he will be leaving WARG for a while because he’s busy
- I can take this task to completion
We got the MavLink dump from the TA during simulation and Houston
- Simulation data makes sense as expected
However, the antenna rotated randomly and didn't follow the drone properly with Houston
- Problem might be that the drone was too close to the antenna
- We will try moving the drone further away
- Will also test if TA will follow a simulation properly or not
Made minor fix to the TA arduino’s debugging code to dump MavLink hex properly (push this maybe?)
We now have a working (and easy to use) Python MavLink parser
- Maybe this could be useful in the future?

Small Holybro @Manasva Katyal @Ari Van Cruyningen @Eric Su

Main bulk of tuning is now complete!
Need to do MagFit (for compass calibration) as well as some more FFT tuning
- Data was collected on 2025-03-02 FT
Video of drone in flight (go to 1:48 to see evidence of stability of the tune!): IMG_0292.mov
