This week featured significant progress in both software integration and hardware testing. Control scripts for the dispenser actuators were successfully implemented and tested on the Raspberry Pi, with ongoing documentation. A preliminary network diagram was created to support unified communication between the Raspberry Pi, QGroundControl (QGC), and the drone, with further development planned. QGC was updated to support multiple camera feeds, although issues remain with displaying the front camera, requiring further debugging. Drone data output was analyzed using the VOXL platform documentation, and a test plan for initial flights was completed with external input. Bi-directional communication was established between QGC and external systems, and UI updates and report work are underway. On the hardware side, integration of a battery switch into the BMS was completed, and the associated PCB is under external review. Progress also continued on the dispenser’s CAD modeling and aerodynamic assessments, while material testing and aluminum workshop tasks were successfully completed. Report updates reflected ongoing iterations and comparative analysis of design alternatives.

Sprint Summary

Name	Task	Comments
Kasper	Write scripts to open/close the dispenser with actuators on raspberry pi. Look into a solution for network connection between raspberry pi, QGC and the drone. Want to get all the devices on the same network.	The scripts are finished and tested with the actuators. Need to finish documenting the work. Made a network diagram showing the current test setup. Going to look further into the development of a network for the system.
Eirik	Look into sending information from the drone to QGC. Test Plan for initial drone flights. Implement multiple camera feeds to QGC, as it only displays the main feed as standard	Complete list of all information the drone sends out lies in the “VOXL Platform” folder, information that QGC automatically picks up is marked in green. Finished the plan, got Ruben “Dronepilot” Henriksen to look over it. QGC now recognizes that there are two cameras available, but feed from the front camera only shows black. Uncertain why this happens, need to do some debugging in the drone software.
Kristian T	Continue working on the receiving functionality in QGC. Work on report.	Finished, correct implementation resulting in bi-directional communication. In progress, adding UI iterations, explaining receiving in QGC.
Kristian M	Integrate a switch onto the BMS to connect the battery to the drone/charger. Work on report.	Finished, PCB under review at PCBWay. In progress, added a new section explaining design decisions.
Ruben	Aerodynamic considerations. CAD Proper Dispenser. Material Testing Aluminium .	Considered. In Progress. Complete.
Ulrik	Iterative processes in report. Pros/cons of different solutions in the report. Testing of Aluminum N1050AW.	Work in progress, more do document. Finished. Finished in workshop.
