This week, we finalized our choices of hardware and researched how to connect the autonomous flight software to the flight controller. We made some changes to our plan to accommodate the constraints that come from prices and to incorporate an optical flow sensor for better position measurements. In the next week, since we don’t have physical parts yet, we will work on simulating pathfinding for the autonomous flight component.
Delivery times are longer than first expected, which is a risk to our schedule. We hope to remedy this by putting more work into simulations early so everything is ready for the drones once they’re built.
