detection of beacon #1 at 15m

Peggy validation flight for W25 was successful. Flew well and same as last term
Goal was to test KML sending over MavLink on Peggy → not complete
Issues with Pi and temperature/weather that caused this test to not be successful
Autonomy to get houston and pegasus Pi’s at the same state and LABEL the sd cards
Peggy is set up to only display to vtx while houston displays only to hdmi output
Tuning airframe had two flights that will allow logs to be analyzed for more adjustments @Manasva Katyal
One flight with figure 8s for MAGFit compass calibration
Another flight with all axes movements for FFT filter calibration
Task 1
Autonomy Updates:
MAVLink KML messages
EFS tuning airframe
next steps:
Is pretty much done its tuning cycle
Would just need to do a final performance evaluation flight and look at step response graphs
Can then start the process on Peggy 2
Task 2
Tank is being assembled
Need to ground test soon, will need EE help
Other
How ready are we for comp?
Backup plans
Flight Test Planning
Thoughts on Friday flight tests?
Would work better with my (@Evan Janakievski) schedule for March for at least 2 flight tests
Would want to make sure all comp attendees onsite could attend
Need to reschedule Autonomy KML mavlink message flight test
Look over asana dates and adjust/make updates
