• Things to do

  • Talk to Lance/Kiran about MCU selection (late next week after moving in)

    • Find criteria required for chips to run autopilot

      • criteria given so far

        • Ability to run freeRTOS → built in natively is preferred

        • Similar I/O

        • Ease of development and OS independence

          • Demonstrated CubeMX and CubeIDE to Kiran to show what Firmware is used to

        • HAL support would be nice as well

        • Similar memory and clock speeds (at least matches and we chilling ZP 1.0)

  • Talk to Shrinjay/Kevin about data to be sent between autopilot and jetson over USB (next wednesday)

    • 2 things

      • Xbee vs OpenHD

      • What to send between CV and Firmware

  • Look into UavCan

• Decided that VN-200 and VN-300 VectorNAV sensors are both good for applications. VN-200 is preferred cause of power draw. Rugged version (swap and play) is preferred.
