Intro
Only able to assemble 2x because of limitted budget. One for peggy, one for houston is POR
testing plan developed and executed Daniel Puratich just meant as a minimum statement of what will be tested
assistance from software people required to setup rpi and pixhawk
proof of completion of these as described in this doc is given in RPi Interface Rev B Photos
Testing the “Competition 2025” Variant only because this is the only one we’re using for now.
Power Testing
does buck work on its own
yes
no rails are shorted (probed in advance)
reasonable power supply current
does hot plugging with battery kill it
doesnt die
how does it look onscope?
looks good, see photos
Does it power rpi
yes
(pin order is correct on the header and variant is satisfactory)
Software Testing
does killswitch kill uart when harness breaks?
does pixhawk uart comms work when killswitch disabled via shorting header pins?
the pixhawk and rpi comms should be validated on rev A boards (which are known good) to prove the rpi software is working correctly. We are trying to test the rev b board here and not the rpi software stack ya know …
does pixhawk uart comms work with killswitch disabled via pixhawk gpio?
do power leds work
do uart indicator leds work
Flight Testings
does it work on a flight test?
