status of both task 2 solutions
- will be done this weekend
Houston Motors status
- Haven’t been ordered. Waiting for decision if we are switching to 6s or keeping 3s and what new form factor of motor should be
- Will order Dshot ESCs too @Nathan Green

what is plan for making the system work next term?
what are min viable product milestones?
when do we want to deliver minimum viable system?
IR camera driver and detection almost merged in, 90% of the way there
IR camera settings: Max ISO is 64 and doesn’t look too grainy
MAVLink communication to ground is in progress
- FTP has some hope (can see files, but need some more work on reading)
- StatusText has been debugged and working (on sim)
Pegasus killswitch and UART setup complete (although killswitch not set on controller)

ssd status
- done ee-wise - it worky :))))
- We will probably validate some more next term so we have extras
  - make 3 more next
water controller status
- assembled, validated, and tested, handed-off to mech
programming board
- will be rlly useful for led board validation
- will be assembled sometime before end of term - as soon as digikey components come in (likely tomorrow or monday)
No more bring up sessions this term - what has been done is where we are standing for this term
- Ryan and Kenny still onsite and no finals if something urgent is needed
We plan to get our next board order out beginning of next term.
- Comp relevant boards
  - Water controller rev2 is the main target here - one more channel for driving valve if needed
    - Question for mech - does it look like we are still gonna need this?
  - Pi interface rev C
board bring up plan for next term
- Water controller rev2 when it comes in
- LED controller rev 4 - didnt end up happening this term
- Tracking Antenna Rev 2
- 6S Servo module rev 2
- More Single servo drivers
wiring
- video system wired yesterday
- should be fine

ssd status
- prototype working; see https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1243031840437305496/1310373318515359827
- refinements to be done (code cleanup, documentation, etc.)
led boards
- prototype working, see https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1275152642691039306/1311743653491904544
- no CAN integration on the software side yet
Tracking Antenna @Omer Sajid
- Works really well in the mission planner simulation
- IRL yaw is somewhat tracking, pitch is not working
- Still being worked on; team debugging today (28 November 2024)
- One of two things is most likely the cause of the issue
  - Drone is giving bad data
  - Data isn’t being processed correctly
- To debug, we took the raw UDP data from both the simulation and the drone testing, going to look over, see where the issue is.

what are we flying this weekend?
- Plan is only Pegasus as Houston motor issues and replacements have not been ordered
- Daniel proposed not flying this weekend and waiting for Dec 14th flight test to test landing gear
- Don’t fly this weekend, wait for the 14th
what needs to be done to be ready for mid december FT?
- Water bucket design and implementation
directors should try to timeline next term with FTCs.
- We should keep the testing program going leading up to comp.
