Client Meeting: November 16th - ProstheticFalconry/Capstone GitHub Wiki

Dave working his sensors array and will have schematics and slides done by Monday. CDR is next week so everyone should aim to have schematics and such done by Friday so as too have a consolidated whole ready for Monday slides being done. Nic is up to date for libraries and will be working the into his schematics. Adam mentions that using DIPtrace may be easier for taking our schematics and making a workable model. MINECRAFT! Need 1 micro controller ($4 MSP430FR5722) for Nic's Estop network. Relate to Jaden and Adam the the motors they have supplied us will likely be sufficient for quadcopter weight. Relate plan to have slides together by Friday, schematics done by Monday and everything will be done by for the CDR by Wednesday. Our presentation will be on Wednesday November 23rd at 4:30pm. Dave has done loads of research regarding the Flight Controller and has mentioned that as he reads into it, the more concerned he gets regarding the non-linearity of the design. PCB design seems to not be a large problem as Austin is done learning Onshape and can now dedicate himself to learning EAGLE. Adam notes that DIPTrace is more user friendly. Nic wishes to familiarize himself with ESC's and general consensus is that the ESC research is a google search away or he can talk with Dave. Austin and Adam talk chassis density and believe a rough number for the plastic to be 1.25g/cm^3. If the flight controller RTOS is a problem Jaden and Adam dictate that the Python community would likely have resources for building a flight controller that can work for our quadcopter. Flight motors are mounted from underneath so Jaden walks Austin through the considerations needed for thickness at the motor mounting areas so as to accommodate the shaft and caps on the motors that will hold the propellers.
