0-10m

  • Wherever there is an error state, set and print flags
  • We want to put the flags into both the flash
    • Assuming the flash and the radio aren’t one of the flags
  • We should assume that we have a radio
  • Radio link a good idea
  • Priority should be confirming that the flash works and that we get back data
  • Probably should halt work on HOOTL and other side projects

  • No test flights
  • Pick a lockdown date for code
  • Discuss Error State (Flag all errors that happen in prelaunch)
  • Get someone to keep track of what's going on with hardware
  • Create wiki page that has chart of all Pyxida versions we know of.
    • Record date, version, etc. that we know of 

20-30m

  • Wiki page that keeps track of Pyxidas, cameras, debuggers, antennas, etc
    • where, with whom, condition of part, etc
  • camera stuff: using fireflies, connecting to them with existing bbc
    • putting on photodiodes to see if light is on or not on the cameras

30-40m

  • Camera tasks:
  • Hardware part:
    • Building and attaching circuits to firefly and through to spare GPIO on pyxida
    • 'Potting'?
    • Taking test results from the cameras to confirm what operating mode they're in
    • Epoxy light circuit and USB
    • For camera - "Picture will be broken out from the ribbon cable via veroboard"
  • Software part:
    • Reading from GPIO the stage
    • Stage will be "high or low - detect a waveform from a digital can"
    • Make a function you can call for initializing camera that "sends on signal wait to see what comes back, send the signal again and wait again, repeat for a certain number of times before it gives up
  • Luka: "READ ASANA POSTS AND LIKE THEM" and be more active on asana in general
