Getting Involved!
Ready to get involved? Follow these steps!
- Do everything on the new member checklist. Joining the slack is especially important, as all meeting announcements and general discussions happen there!
On the slack, join the following channels:
#avionics#avionics-hardware#avionics-software#avionics-bay
-
Browse through the avionics resources, and see what looks interesting to you.
- Take a look at our common practices page to get more familiar with our typical architecture. Although we try to be as beginner-friendly as possible, we do use some jargon so reading through this page will help you get a leg up!
-
Reach out on Slack to the current avionics team lead (Alex Reich) or the sub-team lead with the topic you're most interested in (embedded software, web development, controls/state estimation, structures, RF, or PCB design) to see where you can get started.
The leads will have a list of things you need to do to get set up with the team, ask about this! Also let them know how much experience you are coming in with so they can cater the onboarding process to you individually.
Jot down the time and date of the next avionics meeting in your planner! (Also should be on the central page)
