Out of scope for this test

• Complete Pegasus 2 Tuning and be sure we are happy with the tune

  • We will not be doing this because it is risky and not really necessary right now.

  • Evaluate the tune we have right now

    • See how it feels with full stick reflections

  • Run autotune again on a higher aggressiveness

    • Last time we ran at 0.007 so maybe go up to 0.008 now that we’re more comfy with it

    • Hopefully less wind then last time

  • manually tune the rest

    • hoping this isnt really needed

    • oscillation => lower PID

    • slow response => increase PID

    • underdamped => increase P/D ratio

    • overdamped (motors heating up0 => decrease P/D ratio

Goals for this test

• Complete a 1.5 km range test on Pegasus 2 to measure dropped packets

  • Do this without even flying the drone, put it in a car, drive it a kilometer down the road, measure packet loss.

  • Flying the drone is a risk

  • max distance we need at comp is 1.15 km

  • Can we make sure that when we do range tests, we log continuous data on both tx/rx side? Would be nice to know how our tpwr fluctuates as a f'n of distance

  • Can we try to test different antenna orientations? I.e. if we rotate the drone does it severely impact signal quality.

  • Can we try this test with/without other ELRS rx's active (maybe for ex: houston) near the pegasus basestation? I know they say elrs<->elrs interference is low but I want to see how low

• Test the analog video system and relay system on Pegasus 2

  • Asana tasks to set this up

  • does not require flight, do at same time as mavlinkrc rank test

• Test Geolocation system on Houston

  • Tasks in Asana to set this up

  • this will require

    • driving to wrestrc

    • Integrate and test hardware leading up to this

      • RPi integration

    • Autonomy preparation

      • Geolocation software exists and will be run on Houston

  • houston is ready for this test hardware wise
