[Week 11] Hardware build up and software developing environment setup

Date: 03.21.2019 Hardware build up and software developing environment setup The team already got most of hardware and software for the project. Because all hardware are ordered and shipped by parts, so we have to assemble them together to a functional UAV. For the software side, we have to set up the developing environment before programming process, including gathering access to matLab UAV simulator, searching for useful packages, downloading and installing all required libraries. Also, there are two group members are working on the software, so we have to set up a version control tool(Github) in order to avoid implementation conflict. 1. UAV Building. (assigned to Justin) The parts that we already got are:  6 Motors - ArduPilot Flight Controller - 6 Electronic Speed Controller - LiPo Battery - Power Distribution Board - Landing Legs - Remote Controller - Component Platform The parts still in shipping: - Optical Flow Sensor for Speed Measurements - Wireless...
