Somewhere in E5 / E7 iirc

Make sure ICARUS works on the ground before flying it

• Full throttle all motors 3 mins

• ESC’s do not overheat, motors are able to maintain 100% commanded throttle

  • Specifically like try and get some temperature values

• No data issues

  • This would be like motors cutting out

• Measure the new tiny power modue we’re using for heat (I anticipate it will get extremely warm, someone should visually watch it if the solder starts to liquify)

  • That big resistor on there is my concern point, that guy should get real warm, I can do some math, but likely we’ll be running it out of spec

• Look at how twitchy the rear servos are with all the antennas

  • A video would be appreciated

  • Possibly try the antennas in a few different positions to see if it gets any better on servo twitch

• tethered drone (ratchet strapped), props on, etc.

• Thermocouple ESCs on FETs

• Limit airflow on ESCs as will be done at competition

• Fake to-from fixed wing transitions.

• Motors stop, restart on transition edges

• tethered drone, fast airflow into airspeed sensor?

• Do this a few times

• 0-100-0 motor tests

• motors all start / stop as they should

• Look at the analog video and control link signal integrity during these operations

  • Look at servo twitch during these operations

• controller mapping to allow hard 0-100 edge.

• Would be nice to scope this and see how clean stuff looks here, but like I think some people may disagree

• A bunch of these should be done

• Opflow working

• move some image or paper below the opflow and correlate distances?

• Rangefinder working

• some way to move the distance the range finder sees and measure it

• Airspeed working

• some way to ensure the airspeed sensor(s) are working.

• May need to use 2 I2C ports if both sens have same addr.

• VMUX & VTX Working

• induce airflow.

• check that vmux works with all cameras

• push-prop thrust measurement?

• generates thrust idk (this can be measured by some means if we wanted to but prolly not lol gg)

• Control surfaces working

• yup yeeters

• Vibration Test

• No data issues when vibing the drone by hand

• Mechanically sound etc

• have people shake drone and see if it worky after

• LEDs working
