Our team has been discussing about our model plane since the last class was over. Based on the results of our former model plane, we decided to make a new model plane which is light(less than 200g) and has simple shape(for making it as quickly as possible) and can be controlled automatically. This week we made a horizontal tail and a vertical tail and developed a program which calculate the altitude. Next week we are planning to make a main wing and test electronic circuit mounted on our model plane.
We designed our plane simply so we could make tails in less than 2 hours. In last class we designed our former plane so complicated that it took several weeks to make the plane and we cannot spend much time on making program for automatic control and testing electric devices. This time our plane is simple and we may make our plane by the beginning of November. Then, we can spare much time for programming and electric circuit.
Now we are searching for information about I-square-C. A barometric pressure sensor detects altitude by measuring air pressure and send the data to microcomputer by I2 C communication. We use an Arduino and its memory is limited so we are making automatic control program with as few libraries as possible to save arduino’s memory. But it is difficult to understand I-square-C and if arduino’s memory has room for installing libraries we may use arduino’s libraries more reliable than our own program.

先学期の授業が終わってから次はどのような機体を作るか考えてきました。前回の結果を踏まえて今回は軽くて作りやすくそのため自動操縦しやすい飛行機を作ることにしました。先週で水平尾翼と垂直尾翼は完成し今週中に主翼も作ることができそうだと考えています。
　簡単な形の主翼や尾翼を設計したので尾翼は二時間とかからずに完成しました。前回は凝った作りにしてしまったせいで制作に手間取り自動操縦に十分な時間を割けなかったので早めに機体を完成させて自動操縦の細部を詰めることに時間をかけられそうだと感じています。
　今はI2C通信について調べています。Arduinoの容量に限りもあるのでできるだけライブラリを使わずに容量を節約しようと考えていますが容量に余裕があれば自作したものを使わずに信頼性が高いライブラリを使うことになるかもしれません。
