The Open Research Institute's weekly FPGA projects meetup covered updates on several ongoing initiatives. Aaron reported progress on integrating the ADRV9002 with OpenCPI and planned to validate RF functionality using the remote lab. Oscar shared his return from leave and detailed his team's work on integrating AI and machine learning for in-flight analysis of rocket payload data, with plans to publish their findings. Paul discussed his mechanical work on the feed for the Hello Giggy EME prototype. Rick provided updates on challenges with the 13cm amplifier system for the upcoming EVE attempt, potential band changes, and his work on integrating signal construction code into existing software. Michelle summarized the Sending Stones project, which analyzed mesh network traffic, finding that overhead dominated human-generated messages. The meeting also touched on preparations for the Earth-Venus-Earth signal experiment and the status of various hardware components.
