Status Updates | @Aaron Chan (RIT Student) @Ben Hyman (RIT Student) | stuff worked. some stuff didn't |
Sensor Module Rev. 2 | @Louis Fleisher (RIT Student) @Damian Suarez (RIT Student) | Killing the MS5607 and SHTC3. Hello MS5611! Make it a 4 layer. Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) |
Power Module Rev. 2 | @James May (RIT Student) |
|
Moar Backplane Form Factors |
| Currently we only have one form factor for the avionics bay to support 4 modules. We would like to look into increasing our support for different structures.
|
Liquid Prop Test Stand |
| I straight up don't know this. Probably something about not making too many loud noises and making sure people don't get hurt. |
More Mikroe Standard Breakouts | @Natalia Sokolov (RIT Student) @Christian Freitag (RIT Student) | To help with testing firmware and reduce errors in hardware setup, the team is trying to utilize Mikroe breakouts. Currently, need new breakouts for the MS5611 and W25N chip. |
Flipping Dev Module Connector | @Alex Moczarski (RIT Student) | Due to lack of communication the pin out on the dev module is flipped Find a solution to fix this. |
Sensor Module Software | @Mary Dertinger (RIT Student) @Natalia Sokolov (RIT Student) | Most of the sensor drivers are complete. New drivers need to be written for sensors used in Rev 2. Application level logic also needs to be written to support taking data, and sending it over Ethernet and storing in flash memory. |
Radio Module Software | @Nate Aquino (RIT Student) @Chloe Clark (RIT Student) | GPS driver complete. Radio transceiver driver being tested. |
Power Module Software | @Torin Samples (RIT Student) (Deactivated) @Brian Tokumoto @Janos | Read ADC data (need ADC support) and do some voltage calculations (literally multiply). Read current sense amplifiers through I2C. Log data at ~1Hz and store on SPI flash. |
Networking Protocols | @Domenic Cacace (RIT Student) |
|
RocketPy Refinements | @Chloe Clark (RIT Student) @Christian Freitag (RIT Student) | Currently have a prototype rocketpy to use. Would like to make it more robust and MechE friendly. (least priority) not fsw |
