@Mary Dertinger (RIT Student) @Aaron Chan (RIT Student)

Backplane 2025 goals:

• Sensor mod working to prove backplane basic functionality

Backplane status 7/1/2024:

Backplane: 1.1.1 → functional

Power Module: 1.1.1 → functional

Autopilot Module: 1.1.0 → functional but needs more testing

Radio Module: 1.1.0 → functional

• Rev still 1.1.0 which miraculously works

Sensor Module 1.2.1: → functional but needs more testing

• 1.2.1

  • Need to validate I2c issue.

  • TMP117: wasn't giving data just reporting zeros.

  • RS485 issue giving garbage. Aaron probed RS485 and got good data but probed after  transceiver (UART) and got garbage.

  • Ethernet works ( FINALLY)

  • A sensor module was reading garbage values (need to find and label)
