🥅 Goals/Objectives

Objective

ALL PROGRAMS RUN IN ACRO

Priority

Owner(s)

0-25-0 ramp

  • Ensures that throttle is working, arm-disarm working.

0-50-0 Step

  • Step from 0 to 50% throttle, back to 0.

  • Checking for motor desyncs

0-100-0 Step

  • Step input from 0-100% throttle, back to 0 after spun up.

  • Checking for motor desyncs

  • Checking for power monitoring brownouts

  • knockoff criteria:-

    • Current draw exceeding 100A

    • Motor on-time exceeding 10 seconds

    • Props loose

    • issues / alarming observations. Re-asses and continue if safe

0-100-hold 5 seconds-0

  • Ensures that our system can sustain 100% throttle for 5 seconds.

  • Knockoff Criteria:

    • Current draw > 100A

    • Motor on-time ecxeeding 10 seconds

    • props loose or airframe compromised.

    • Issues/alarming observations

sine wave ramping

  • mostly just a vibe test. Ensures that everything on our drone will survive a flight test with vibrations and potential resonance frequencies.

  • Logs (hopefully) analyzed.

Flight Test Debrief

Flight Test Timeline

Step up:

  • This morning, we found out the Tbs nano receiver(white) that was originally placed on the drone might be broken (not status light with power). We replaced it with the receiver from Houston.

  • Radio Control, accelerometer, and compass calibrated for Pegasus by mission planner

  • No telemetry connection while testing, only radio control

  • ratchet strap fixed the drone on the table of E7 1401

Observation:

  • After arming, the props spin up on their own. The airframe vibrates slightly under the initial low throttle. The vibration could be caused due to the landing gear connection and the flexibility of the arms. Not a big issue in my opinion since the airframe restores a stable state after giving the motor some throttle, and it fixes itself.

  • No obvious problem was noticed as the throttle slowly went from 0 - 50% and went back.

  • No obvious problem as the throttle quickly went to 100% and stopped.

  • Didn’t check throttle stays on 100% for 5 seconds or sine wave ramp
