Test 1: Test Basic Obstacle Avoidance

Procedure

Goals / Objectives

Knockoff Criteria

  1. Place blue landing pad on ground

 

  1. Set up waypoints

  • Create path that flies over the landing pad

 

  1. Run airside

  • SSH into the raspberry pi to check logs

  • Ensure no errors

  •  System crashes

  1. Battery plugged in

  • Mission planner no pre-arm warning

  • make sure AUTO is in one of the flight mode

  • toggle safety switch

  1. Enable logging

  1. Arm the drone and set mode to AUTO

 

 

  1. Let drone start flying through waypoints in AUTO

 

  • Drone unstable

  • unable to establish VLOS

  • Timer threshold:

    • flight time exceeded 5 min.

    VBatt below safety threshold: 10V

    • QLAND immediately, disarm when landed.

    • Recover drone & gather state of batteries

    Lost link

    • Follow lost link procedures. Maintain vlos if possible.

    • Contact necessary local authorities.

  1. Take off the drone in Loiter with the receiver facing Gemini

  • Testing the Gemini performance when no object between two radio modules

  • Drone unstable

  • Radio Link Lost

  • Low Battery

  1. Fly away and fly back

  • Testing the Gemini performance as distance increase

  • Drone unstable

  • Radio Link Lost

  • Low Battery

  1. Yaw, and receiver facing away from Gemini.

Fly away and fly back

  • Verify the performance as there is obstacles between radio modules

Drone unstable

  • Radio Link Lost

  • Low Battery

  1. Land and repeat if necessary

  • We want to reproduce the link status issue we had last time.

  • Got desired data

  • Houston unable to keep flying

Necessary Preparation

Explain what capacity you need, what needs to be mounted, etc.
