WRESTRC Booked, see Calendar , for Pegasus flight .

Worst case we do https://maps.app.goo.gl/XBr7u8oXZkMhzEAC8 as subject to weather constraints regarding timeline for Pegasus.

Trip 1:

• member: Aidan Bowers (Deactivated) , Hardy Yu , Daniel Puratich , Amy Hu , Vibhinn Gautam

• Vehicle: Aidan’s personal car

• flight test: tubie no.2, autonomy houston flight test, pilot training @ WRESTRC

• time: meet @ bay by 9 am (or even eariler for houston setup and battery charging), we anticipate we get it done before 11:30 am

Trip2:

• member - Nathan Green , Hardy Yu , Daniel Puratich , Georgia Vachon Westerlund , Neel Patel , Conall Kingshott

• Vehicle: Neel’s Personal car, Dodge Caravan

• flight test - pegasus hover @ https://maps.app.goo.gl/XBr7u8oXZkMhzEAC8

• time - start doing preflight checklist @ 11:30 and we can take our time to avoid bad things from happening

Task 1: Raspberry Pi/ Camera Testing w/ Houston

Objective: Verify the camera colour calibration and system integration

Task 2: Tubie Take off

Objective: Verify the reinforced airframe and try to fly longer this time

Takes 3: Pilot Training

Objective: Train new pilot Hardy Yu

Task 4: Pegasus hover

Objective: Verify the system integration by flying pegasus over the air

•  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

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
