title	Week Before Checklist

Raspberry Pi can collect images with the $200 CV Camera

Test the imaging repository with the Raspberry Pi and confirm images are taken and stored on the SD card
Edit the rc.local and ensure that image collection code runs on Raspberry Pi startup

Raspberry Pi can be powered onboard the drone. Need help from the Electrical team.
Raspberry Pi and $200 CV Camera are mounted onto Houston. The $200 CV Camera needs to be pointing in the downards direction.. Need help from the Mechanical team.
Flight test location booked
Drone Registration -

Houston
Tubie
Pegasus → flying on vanny registration

Ensure we have good props for Pegasus after last tests crash
Telemetry Verified Functional - Nathan Green to verify with new LTE connectors
Nolan Haines Schematic for and delegating manufacturing of anti-spark connector configuration
Daniel Puratich to update template with all the new things he added to this template this time
Nathan Green add to Onedrive logs from last time
Georgia Vachon Westerlund uploading past test images to onedrive media
Conall Kingshott potentially slop on landing gear
Hardy Yu purchase request for more crossfire Rxs
Pilot scheduled - Daniel Puratich
Test Plan - Daniel Puratich
Initial frame parameters set - Nathan Green
Verify we have wrestrc card
Systems test - Daniel Puratich

Check flight controller orientation - Nathan Green
Check motor spin & rotation direction - Nathan Green

Check DSHOT configuration (DS300, bidir?)
Motors plugged into correct pins on pixhawk
Verify motors 1,2,3,4 in motor test go in the correct order
Verify motors in a,b,c,d configuration is correct order
verify rotational response of motors is correct (with more than just audio), move the drone around and check each motors reponse individually

Check transmitter mappings
Verify communication links

VTX/RX - no video on any of these aircrafts
Controller
Groundstation

Ammeter working - Nathan Green
Verify data logging - Nathan Green checked SD card, its working

Transportation logistics finalized

Booking SDC vehicles - Hardy Yu to decide, Daniel Puratich
Assigning drivers - Daniel Puratich Done see above.
Renting any needed equipment (trailer? generator? etc.) - Daniel Puratich not needed.

Setting Failsafes, Nathan Green

normal failsafe set to land
disabled battery failsafe, dont want it to randomly land
GCS failsafe set to always land after 5 seconds of no GCS

title	Morning of Checklist

Confirm the Raspberry Pi is securely attached to the drone.
Confirm the image collection software runs when the Raspberris powered on.
Nathan Green configuring the GPS so both GPS’s are used
Nathan Green Setting the controller profile on the radio master
SDC Vehicle key collected → machine shop is closed, we will not be able to grab the key Hardy Yu
Batteries Planned for (DON'T LEAVE CHARGING OVERNIGHT)

Drone batteries & spares - 2 sets for pegasus, 3 houston batteries
Transmitter batteries - 70% on transmitter
Battery tester/indicator

On-site kit together - Daniel Puratich announcing checklist

First Aid Kit
Ground station if applicable
Laptop
Antenna / Receivers
Transmitter
Extra Water
Power cords / Extension cables
Wrenches - none needed
Allen keys (metric ones) - three sets
Knives
Tape
Rope/string - not needed
Zip ties
Velcro
Radios
Safety goggles - not needed
Fire extinguisher - we dont have one, theyre out of our budget gg
Spare foam - not needed
hot glue gun w/ hot glue stick - not bringing that
harnesses
ratchet set
battery removed for velcro (thin 3d printed thing) for pegasus
Wrestrc

Airfame assembled
ESCs/flight controller wired
Radio equipment tested

Channel mappings
Flight modes

Motors tested

Check DSHOT configuration (DS300, bidir?)
Motors plugged into correct pins on pixhawk
Verify motors 1,2,3,4 in motor test go in the correct order
Verify motors in a,b,c,d configuration is correct order
verify rotational response of motors is correct (with more than just audio), move the drone around and check each motors response individually

Wiring secured (Harnessing)
End-to-end test (neglecting props)

Props require a little gold ring which we did not use during the strap down test, may have caused extra vibrations.

Check the center of gravity - CG is off quite a bit but because only running two batteries and much less hardware then anticipated it will be reasonable for this test
All components not on the airframe that are required should be in the flight box (e.g. props & prop nuts)
Airframe payload - Raspberry Pi + $200 Camera

Mount to airframe pointing downwards (exact angle doesn’t really matter)

Spare parts

Props

Houston props
Peggy props

Airframe components (landing struts, arms, etc)

wings nuts - n/a
prop nuts
any detached components such as angle mount - none needed

Hardware to assemble these components
Spare Electronics - we dont have much

ESCs
Motors
Flight controllers
Receiver

Ground station Software updated

title	Post Flight Test Check-List

drive back to bay
post mortem
Analytics added to this document
action items delegated
Autonomy Tasks

Dismount Raspberry Pi + camera
Check SD card for saved images
Check saved images for purpling and see which camera settings yield best results
Make note of the best camera settings.

batteries discharge is delegated
batteries at storage voltage confirmed
Confirm wrestrc card is back in the holder

title	Contingency Plans

If things go poorly, flight test director should command (this is stated to avoid bystander effect):

Fire
- Call 911
- give location
Property Damage
- if in e7, email Graeme
- if at WRESTRC, email them
Fly away
- call TC
Injury
- first aid
- call 911
