Drivers

  • IMU driver - @Kelvin Feng

    • PR received approvals and ready to be merged

 

 

  • Sensor Fusion - @Polly Liu & @Liam Suter

    • prototyping with bmx160

    • Code tested and functioning on arduino

      • Need to calibrate the sensor as it’s not giving reasonable data currently

      • Starting code for the IMU on the STM32 in the meantime

 

 

  • GPS

    • new task opening?

 

 

  • Fail-Safe Fix - @Uzayr Hussaini @Andrew Wang

    • I started fixing some of the mistakes on the PR, I will finish it up by tonight.

    • We will meet up tmrw to go over merge conflicts

 

 

Attitude Manager @Anthony Luo

  • Same as last week. Waiting on sensor fusion and IMU

 

 

System Manager @Hardy Yu

  • no update

 

 

Telemetry Manager @Yarema Dzulynsky

  • No update: Waiting for new arch M1 to complete for porting M2 TM.

 

Path Manager @Ayoung Eun

  • Ideation Code We’ve constructed simple landing/takeoff functions.

  • Can we schedule a meeting in near future to go through these and sketch out what we are missing and what we need to improve on? I set up a lettucemeet in the path manager channel.

 

Infrastructure

Core Dump @Kabir Verma

  • Got the stack trace on a general project

 

ZP Validation Image @Ethan Leung

  • Tried to do more testing but I can’t get the zp3 board to respond, need help.

 

ZP3.5 M2 Bring-Up

  • Stalled

Drivers @Ethan Leung

  • Message Queue @Dami Peng

    • Finished abstract interface, Did not push to main yet. Did not take a look RTOS queues yet.

 

  • Motor Channel (PWM) @Bill Lu

    • Bill has sent me some updates on his interface and implementation, I will take a look later

 

  • RC Receiver @Chandise Anderson

    • Finished interface, but had issues trying to push to my branch. I will start working on implementation this week and will ask if I have any issues about it

 

  • Watchdog @Ronald You

    • basically ready for pr

    • need to review some minor details

 

Attitude Manager @Sam Zhang

  • No updates, just waiting for the finalized interface between drivers for the PWM motor function and the queue.

 

System Manager @Manasva Katyal

  • SM interface + internal logic scaffolding PR was merged in

  • Had a sync meeting a couple days back with the SM team to align delegations

  • Implementation ongoing… @Raiyan Samin @Sreya Roy Chowdhury to give further updates

ESC (Jeffery Zhen)

  • CAN-ESC adapter DShot output is now working with motor attached

  • To Do:

    • look at the efs-canard code that was shared recently and integrate with CAN-ESC adapter

    • make a new copy of CAN-ESC code for future PR

 

Servo @Tharun Ganeshram @Fion Lin @Herman Gahra

  • @Larry Pan Continuing to optimize code, not much update.

  • @Hardy Yu will likely take this project to completion

 

Sensor Cluster @Roni Kant

  • @Tochi Okoro Dev board is lost .. :( Need to decide if we are going to buy another sensor or just wait for the EE board to be done. Until then, working on turning driver into a cpp class.

  • @Henry Wu @Yutong Zhu Sensor driver is basically done. Meeting with @Roni Kant soon to work on integration with DroneCAN

  • @Aidan Fisher Logic flow written for UHD mode, finishing coding it

  • @Ria Prakash Moving to GPS driver task for now, so this task is put on hold

  • @Roni Kant Worked with CAN people on porting to l4

 

LED Board @Folarin Fatola (Unlicensed)

  • Worked on debugging the CAN integration code

  • TODO: Enable one lighting board node to act as a master for the rest of the lighting boards

 

6s Power Module @Bryan Ma @Harry Chen

  • We created a Confluence page for this task: 6S Power Module

    • This doc condensed most of what we know and don’t know about the project, so it was super helpful

    • Eventually, we would need to know more about the project specifics from the EE team, including:

      • How the MCU will receive voltage and current information from the battery monitoring circuits

      • What MCU ports to use

  • The Google Slide on CAN would be pretty useful to reference later on, but right now more help on CAN would be helpful - there are still no tutorials to follow, so we are still scratching our heads for the most part.

 

CAN Baud Rate Auto Sensing

  •  

Tracking Antenna @Omer Sajid @Jeremy Zheng

  • Flight test plan is updated to contain both pitch and yaw tracking

  • Currently Tracking Antenna is ready for flight test.

  • As of now, the Tracking Antenna (TA) works properly when it’s placed such that 0 degrees YAW aligns with north. However, in theory, the TA should be able to face any direction initially and then be calibrated to face north manually using the Arduino IDE. There is an issue when using the calibration method though, going into the bay tomorrow to work on it
