Meeting Minutes

Thur, Jan 30

• IMU implementation finalized with new affine functions discovered to convert IMU output to actual physical parameters
• Thermal modeling ongoing ... better way to increase the speed of the simulation (going to use a dynamic step to increase the speed)
• Perhaps want to increase our control loop
• Eventually need to integrate the magnetorquer model into a power budget sim (talk to Weston)
• Start designing full state machine with all of the contingencies (Kevin has been working on collecting all of the prerequisite sensor packages, etc. that we need for the state machine entries)
• Turn EKF off during eclipse (since we will only have magnetometer measurements and that won't be enough to fully give us attitude measurements)
• Paul and Andrew are still working on C++ integration
• Decision to move forward with using ulab for most things (it only wouldn't work for iLQR)
• Attempt to get HITL up and running by next Thursday, since we have all the pieces
• Need to update to pycubed mini board for inclusion of the right pins
