Flight Test Post Mortem

Required equipment to

  1. WARG Laptop (w/ CAMLINK and OBS) or preferably a portable monitor

  2. HDMI cable, USB Splitter, Mouse and Keyboard

Before 1st Test Flight:

  • Plugged in HDMI into Jetson from Laptop & used OBS to view jetson screen

    • This is harder to use than if a monitor was connected directly, since OBS had input delay & poor cropping / solution

  • Plugged in Mouse & Keyboard into Jetson to get to command line

  • Checked to make sure that run.sh was enabled

  • Checked to see that SD Card was being logged onto

  • Rebooted Jetson

1st Test Flight:

  • SD card did not store any footage

Between 1st and 2nd Test Flight:

  • Checking Jetson after 1st test flight found that run.sh execution on startup was disabled (even though this was specifically enabled before test flight #1

  • Re-enabled run.sh to run on startup

  • Rebooted Jetson

  • Checked the Jetson’s file system to see that SD started logging footage again, meaning run.sh successfully executed on startup after this most recent reboot

  • Left Jetson as is for the 2nd Test Flight

2nd Test Flight:

  • CV Camera successfully logged footage to SD card

  • Video more purple than previous flight test, which led to poor landing pad detection model performance

Tip
  • Video Logged Successfully

Note
  • Need to re-tune the CV camera to remove the purple hue

Warning
  • , Investigate why SD card was not storing any footage- if issue came from run.sh not running on startup or some other source
