February Game Plan

After ordering new propellers, there has been some lead time where flight testing cannot be done. So in the meantime, we ordered a manual radio controller so we can perform manual flight and have more control over the drone. Additionally, I have almost finished design for a PCB to interface the flight controller with the Arduino Portenta H7, and will be ordering shortly. The PCB utilizes a 9V supply from the flight controller, regulates that voltage to 5V with a buck converter, breaks out some I2C interfaces from the Arduino, has two integrated electromagnet drivers, and a multiplexer to switch between autonomous control from the Arduino and manual control from a radio receiver.
