Altitude (Peter):¶
mech-e's will help figure out angle stuff with sonar. They have a big meeting on Thursday to do this, among other things. Julian will (most likely) be there too.
PID library (Priya):¶
still in progress -- working on it today
Test Flight:¶
Too many people there, too much setup/breakdown
Test as much stuff as possible before we fly
Need to get better at charging stuff
Power adapter (Julian):¶
still waiting on parts
Autonomous stuff (Tom, Nicholas):¶
framework is there, waiting on something that reports target position
Nick's code will be sending us a RosPoint with the target's position.
Goal for this week: program that spoofs position based on user input
Dead-man's switch (Tom):¶
Works, kept getting tripped up by network lag
Network lag:¶
Need to reduce it drastically -- ad-hoc network seems to be the best option.
Goals for this week: ad-hoc network, try to isolate source of lag by cutting out network entirely
