+Title: A new and flexible way to compute
+Date: 2017-02-01

+thumbnail: "/images/computation_graph.png"
+
+The controls team wants to start tuning the controller on the quadcopter, they also want to have the modify the controller in order to better characterize each part. Currently, there is no way to do that except re-write the code on the quad, which bleeds into their development cycle. David took the challenge to solve this issue, and developed the idea of a computation graph.

+
+The idea is a typical graph data structure, specifically a directed acyclic multigraph with weighted edges. However, when normally the nodes in a graph represent some data, the nodes in the computation represent functions, and each edge represents a value that gets passed from the "output" of one node to the "input" of another node. Computing the whole graph is simply a matter of performing a depth-first-search algorithm, where the "inputs" of a node represent the node's children.

+Title: Tracking Down Discrepancies

+
+David, Andy, and Tara have been trying to track down discrepancies between the quadcopter controller implementation and the Simulink model. With each discovered discrepancy, the model keeps getting better. Here is one example of where the quad code and model were performing the calculation for the complementary filter differently.

+
+This is looking at the output of a simulation in the Simulink model, overlayed with actual logged data from a flight test of the quadcopter. After resolving the discrepency, the model predicts the behavior much more closely.

-The following test flight demonstrates altitude stabilization. Once the pilot puts the quadcopter into autonomous mode, the quadcopter uses its internal control algorithm to maintain its altitude. The pilot still must provide x and y-axis stabilization through the remote control.

+Title: Simulink Model Update
+Date: 2017-02-10
+Authors: Brendan
+Category: Highlights
+thumbnail: "/images/model_pitch_rate.png"
+
+Andy and Tara have been working to flesh out the Simulink model of our quadcopter. They have obtained the measurements they need to physically describe the model, now they are finishing up the Simulink model. Here is an example output of the pitch position controller.

+
+This controller represents one of many controllers that we consider to be "inner loop" controllers. Right now, the inner loop controllers in the model are stable, like this pitch position controller. The controls team is now working through PID constants to determine a stable controller for the outer loop controllers.
