Agenda
Problems with the flight (lan)
- Problem with the z-axis might be solved:
- For turning around the z-Axis, the gyro outputs values between 180 and -180 degrees
- Turning over this border changes the controller by a lot
- This might be bad for the motors or for the flight of the copter
- So if we notice a change of the output of more then 200 degrees in one time unit, we subtract (or add) 360 degrees to the measured value
- nbw adds that this might be easier with a modulo-calculation
- Problem with a drift during flight:
- The copter drifts around at the beginning of the flight, since we don't know any velocities of the copter
- Maybe we can calculate the velocity of the copter with the accelerometer and the angles of the gyroscope
- lan believes that it might be very possible and not very difficult
- Could help fma with his stuff
- What is more important:
- Translating to SCCharts
- Fixing the drift during the flight
- ssm: Depends on how long this might take (lan: Probably until mid next week)
- lan wants to start doing that first before focussing on SCCharts
Problems with Dataflow (lpe/ssm)
- Since dataflow doesn't really work currently, we need to fix that
- Visualization will not easily be fixed, but that is not necessarily important
- We need to see if fixing the problems of Stanislaw (HiWi here) might be more important to fix than this right now
Current developments (fma)
- fma described his current situation
- Stated his problems/solutions with the second Arduino
- started his SCCharts already
Time planning (all)
- fma: Wants to do everything until beginning of August, and the start writing
- ssm: Don't push yourselve too hard, better do everything correct and then write, then doing things not good enough
- ssm: If you have idle time you can start with outline, Style, Layout and some chapters maybe
- lan: Start with the velocity-stuffs - then he is finished with everything non-SCCharts related
- lan: Then start translating to SCCharts
- ssm: Some people might construct "library-nodes" e.g. for integrating, to help the others if they also need those
- lpe: More or less finished the simulation and synchronization
- lpe: Still work to do with translating everything to SCCharts, but only after that is fixed
- lpe: Safe landing is probably not part of lpe's Thesis, since it doesn't really fit - either lan takes this or it will just be done without it being written about in a thesis
- New presentation maybe in the beginning of August
- Uploads of Videos to the confluence should be possible
- apo: Will be gone one 21st of August
- apo: Wants to focus on later works that build on our project (Wiki, etc.)
- apo: Also wants to do some things with SCCharts (maybe safe landing?)
- Documentation is important for follow-up projects - very important, high priority
- SCCharts is a possibility (but documentation seems more important)
- But that doesn't mean apo should not do anything with SCCharts
- Lots and lots of talk about Bachelor and Master theses
- Another flighttest in the lobby soon?
- Maybe in the evening, 6-8pm on a weekday instead of the weekend
- Move the meeting to another time slot - maybe after the morning tea?
- New time slot for the meeting: Wednesdays after the tea! (Wedndesdays 10am)
