  3. Assembly Progress • Assembly is finished* • Received replacement parts, installed and working • Some debugging still necessary

  4. Requirements Progress • Group has been mostly concentrating on requirements elicitation analysis • Testability? • Drilling down into details

  5. Other Progress • Researching for and creating document on the communication options for direct connection between drone and Android/iPhone. • Configuring hardware of copter • Initial tests showed only two rotors were spinning. Further investigation needed.

  6. Plans for next (2) week(s) • Complete communications document • Fix/Complete copter configuration • Manual flight test • Autonomous flight test

  7. Issues/Risks • Possibility of broken parts • Keep spare copies of high-risk parts on hand to avoid delays • Outdoor testing • Inclement weather(eg. too windy) could result in test delays.

  8. Problems • Current faulty configuration of copter • RC Transmitter (handheld) is very complex and will require research to find the functions of all the controls.
