Schematic draft

SDP26 – Team 39 - Bluebird Ski Slope SAR Drone

This repository contains all project artifacts for our year-long capstone project.
It is organized to clearly separate hardware and software development, while also supporting shared documentation, data, and results.

🛠 Usage Notes

• docs/
  All project documentation, design specs, and final reports live here. Keep it updated regularly.

• hardware/
  Contains circuit schematics, PCB layouts, CAD models, and firmware. If firmware grows large, it can move into software/.

• software/
  Contains the project’s codebase, with unit tests, libraries, and scripts. Follow good coding practices and include test coverage.

• data/ vs results/
  Keep raw data (inputs, logs, calibration files) separate from processed results (plots, analysis outputs). This ensures reproducibility.

• tools/
  Place any helper scripts, configuration files, or utilities used by both HW and SW here.

---

📑 Conventions

• Empty folders contain a .gitkeep placeholder to ensure they are tracked by Git.
• Branching: Use feature branches (feature/hw-schematics, feature/sw-api) and merge via pull requests.
• Commits: Write descriptive commit messages, e.g.,
  Add PCB schematic v1.0 or Implement sensor data parser.

👥 Team Notes

• Update the meeting_minutes/ after every weekly meeting.
• Keep the README.md in hardware/ and software/ updated with build/setup instructions.
• Document all design decisions in docs/design_specs/.
