Updates this week!
(Updates here → see table of contents for structure)
Empty tasks:
Neo M.8 (hardy & ayoung)
SBUS
Optical Flow sensor
Guy: Spent some time looking at code on ardu pilot, first step would be to get communication over the MSP protocol, once thats done figure out the data structs
Phoenix Tuning (yuchen hardy ayoung kenson)
bricked 3 nucleo boards - cannot reflash, one or two of them have smoked
ZeroPilot 3
System Manager (anni, Gordon, Aadi)
Skeleton Framework up for System Manager (in branch <>)
So many Discussions
Progress on Mode definitions
Progress on thread creation and murder
Path Manager (neha)
Basic Structure PR is up
Pls I think we need a ZP meeting
Attitude Manager (anni, aidan, jack)
Jack has taken control of AM
Correcting old fixed-wing PR
AM/New_Arch almost complete - connecting a few things
Telemetry Manager (Aadi)
Telemetry manager RFC in, prototype being started.
LOS
PRs are (prematurely) merged!
Link, Actuators, Pos are merged but still need some work.
.Cmake files are moved to specific boardfile folders
Each boardfiles package now have their own driver_params file.
@Guy Blumenthal LOS Actuators:
Apparently, I can build but I also at the same time cannot build
Need to figure that out before making any more changes
Once that is figured out, will tackle making the interface a singleton and fix up a few more PR changes
@Anthony Bertnyk LOS Telem: Updated to use newly defined message formats. Will PR tonight.
@Mostafa Hussein LOS Pos:
@Hailey Doleweerd LOS Comms:
@Christopher Chung LOS_Link :
PR merged.
Need to fix one thing: where to initialize the driver within LOS?
Systems Tooling & Infra
Infra + Devops
Simulator (SIL)
Start simulator by adding sensors and placing down relevant blocks
Created confluence page for resources on building the simulator (and learning relevant information)
Come up with more *detailed* roadmap/flow chart of simulink model
HIL (Hardware In the Loop) Controller
@Jack Greenwood
I2C mock interface up (needs testing)
need to “connect” mock interface with bmx driver
VN driver - UART? (YES)
Fixed Chris' driver on firmware-prototype. Need to test it.
Need to meet with electrical to discuss PDB sometime in future
Tracking Antenna (kevin, yuchen)
Doing research on antennas
Trying to get a rough draft done for mechanical to look at by this week
Neo M.8 & Airspeed
Ayoung & Hardy
Logging
Stanley finishing SD Card driver.
Characteristic testing to determine how much current draw, scared about 150mA specification from the data sheet, but got about 60mA from testing which is within tolerance
Priorities next week:
TUNE Phoenix
STUCK!

Things to look out for!
