Significant progress was made across multiple areas of the project this week. Work continued on documenting hardware integration and researching network connectivity solutions to unify all system components. Efforts also began on implementing computer vision for autonomous landing and target recognition, though some technical challenges remain to be resolved. Interface updates and communication flow diagrams were developed to improve system interaction, alongside ongoing work on project documentation. Hardware development advanced with completed flight testing, while dispenser construction faced delays due to material shortages. Coordination with external manufacturers progressed, with component designs currently under review and pending approval.

Kasper |
Document the work done 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.
|
Almost finished, need the concluding part.
Started research on the topic, will continue to research next week.
|
Eirik |
Start looking at computer vision code, mainly for the landing procedure of the drone but also target recognition.
Fix the multiple camera feed issue, then implement the same process on the second drone.
|
Began research on the topic, will continue to research next week.
Problems seems to lie somewhere in QGC, focusing on computer vision for now, this will be second priority.
|
Kristian T |
Update the user interface in QGC.
Work on report.
Sequence diagram for communication between dispenser and ground station.
|
Time used primarily on report.
Updated UI iteration. Added: Controlling drone, Ground station receiving, Data sending protocol.
Use case in progress for ground station.
|
Kristian M |
Work on report.
Communicate with PCBWay regarding PCB design/footprints.
|
Report work in progress.
PCB under review by PCBWay. Will order as soon as it is finished.
|
Ruben |
Flight testing.
Begin Construction of dispenser.
|
Flight testing finished.
Need all the material to begin, out of stock at one store.
|
Ulrik |
Iterative processes in report. Stepper motor and heating/cooling.
Construct Dispenser in the workshop after Tuesday testing.
