Outcome

Landing Pad Footage

We have footage of all the requirements from GoPro and PiCam

  • Takeoff & landing in quad

  • Flight over pads at different altitudes

  • Landing pads on different terrains

  • Obstacles in the frame

    • Trees, bags, etc.

  • Grouped landing pads

  • Was the test successful? What was achieved (or not achieved)?

Telemetry

Data is sent and received from the aircraft

  • Testing datastream over RFD900x

    • Characterize data rate & packet loss at various altitudes & distances over different terrain

  • Test connection stability around obstacles and terrain

Video Transmission

Stable, low latency video is received from the aircraft that a pilot can use for flight

  • Testing stability with lots of communication interference

  • Test stability at various altitudes & distances over different terrain

  • Test connection stability around obstacles and terrain

Check temperatures

It’s not too hot

  • Is it really really hot after flight?

🗺️ Flight Plans

Location: field by the James Downey Wy and Laurelwood Dr intersection

...

  • Put the landing pads 10m away from each other?? (not sure what the competition requirements are for how close they’ll be, hopefully that’s reasonable)

    • Place it in a grassy area on the field (not too close to the shrubs/trees)

  • Get footage of the drone flying over the landing pads at a constant-ish altitude

    • Until the landing pads would go out of sight in the footage

      • get footage at low, medium, high altitudes

        Image RemovedImage RemovedImage RemovedImage AddedImage AddedImage Added

  • Get footage of the drone flying upwards (just like flying up) over the two landing pads

    • Get footage of the drone landing on the blue landing pad

...

  • Fly around the landing pad and upwards/downwards to get footage of landing pad + the “obstacles” at different altitudes
