Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Bulkhead connector CAD recieved and advice on how to attach it the end cap (5/31 email)
CAD updated and clearance hole made for bulkhead connector
Walked through pool testing area, shown how to unlock gate and turn on lights (6/2 person)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
use area approximations to find center of pressure and make sure center of mass is slightly below center of pressure (for descent stability), center of buoyancy should be above centers of pressure and mass (5/31, in person)
adjusted thruster positions to vary positions of centers
ODE45 fine for use in the simulation, advised to check control constants (5/31 person)
Proportional control increased to have much faster response time
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
none
Risks and Areas of Concern
Might not be able to test closed loop code on time
Resources or Information Required but not Available
None
