Priorities for Other Programs

• Tracking Antenna

  • new PCBA coming in this term next month ish

  • need to finalize groundside comp package (polish software and integration test w/ wifi)

  • hardware agnostic

  • https://warg.365.altium.com/designs/BAA43D18-D61B-477A-A049-0D788FA35A7D

  • keyboard controlled - no compass based

  • did we resolve the servo stuff

  • test on physical hardware

  • pass drone coordinates by wifi

• CAN to lighting

  • for competition airframe and fixed wing

  • people are assigned

  • AP_PERIPH w/ custom mavlink?

  • can test on a nucleo

• comms for comp

  • gemini stuff?

    • gemini board might be dead bc powerred without antennas

  • need to profile the gemini boards for link stats

    • need to use it more to see what’s going on

  • waiting for mech tracking antenna → flight test with and without yagis

  • how are we r&d telemetry over elrs?

  • want to use gemini or gemX for comp, have a COTS module

• CAN to PWM

  • for servos on fixed wing

  • not comp intent

• CAN to DSHOT

  • Not comp intent

Internal Priorities

• ZeroPilot

  • Why are we re-arching?

    • current ZeroPilot seems to be built in a very ad hoc fashion

    • many parts seem to be implemented in their own way, product is not cohesive

    • potential for integration issues in the future as we pull more and more things together

    • option A: full send it and deal with problems when we get to them

    • option B: finish M2/3 with current arch while slowly migrating logic over

  • Is M2 done? M2 and M3 flight at the same time?

  • Testing on ZP3 Hardware?

  • Assembling foam fixed wing two motors

  • Flight when?

• Infra

• Advisors

Member Engagement

• better for some projects while worse for others

• leads get hands on as oppose to just delegation?

  • give projects more drive/direction

  • @Derek Tang will try this with ZeroPilot

• Work Sessions]

we got tired and the notes fell off
