Hi everyone! ### Updates
A whole string of good news today on the avionics side of things: - Launch Tower Computer and "LTComm" software is up and running. - New battery pack is installed, and we fixed the old LPC-based avionics power system (APS) so it charges the batteries. This is big, because it means we can sit on charge via the LTC shore power. - The new STM32 roll control board now controls the roll control module based on packets from the FC. Congrats to K and Dave, this system totally rocks. As required, we streamed 1 KHz servo updates and it did fine. - Rocket Room in 84 lab has been cleaned up and organized. We now have two rolling "rocket carts" to make field ops WAY easier. ### Sunday Dress Rehearsal Noon - 5pm at Dave's house. Call Dave or me if you need his address. On the agenda: - Set up the whole launch system and attempt to launch the rocket! Well, we won't actually launch, instead we'll light up a 12 V halogen bulb which simulates the igniter. - Bring everything down, and try it again :) - Go over the launch SOPs and do a quick inventory. - In parallel, we'll also be hacking on FCF, including logging, the IMU -> RC, FC state flow, etc. See you then!
