Things are moving fast. This week saw a series of important milestones as multiple subsystems came online and started working together.
What’s Working
The GPS, IMU, SD card data logging, and button input are all fully functional. Each of these components plays a key role in the final device — the GPS and IMU provide flight context, the SD card stores all sensor data locally, and the button allows for simple user interaction on the device itself.
Crucially, we can now export data directly from the SD card. That means we have a working end-to-end data pipeline from sensor to storage, which is a significant step forward.
What We’re Working On
Two things are in progress right now. First, we’re developing the Wi-Fi data offload system, which will allow data to be transferred wirelessly when the device is on the ground, without any manual handling of the SD card. Second, we’re building out the database that will receive, store, and organise that data for analysis.
The pieces are coming together. The prototype is starting to look like the product we set out to build.
