[Canberrauav] From Monday's meeting Stephen Dade stephen_dade at hotmail.com Thu Feb 28 18:58:02 EST 2013 A couple things from Monday's meeting: Project Status: Catapult System - Prototype worked. Significant work required to scale it up to launch the X8 FPV technologies - on hold for now COFDM-based digital video transmission - not sure what Dave's done with this D-GPS system - was on hold. Basic testing and research being done ADS-B receiver and processing - Hardware works. Now we need software Automatic Tracking antenna - we have the pan/til mechanism. Needs to be built up and tested Pan/Tilt camera mount - on hold for now Radar system for terrain/object avoidance - currently available tech is too heavy/big/expensive for our needs. On hold for now. Rover launching system - prototype works. Not easily scalable or practical for the X8 Assisting local schools - classes are just starting now. Expect this to ramp up over the next couple of weeks. CMAC Weather station - Done! Wiki/Documentation - more research and testing required. We have a github repo for this now MHV Quadcopter - In progress. Workshop running over the next couple of weeks I'm going to have a go of transferring documentation to the github repo later tonight. Thanks Stephen
