• didn’t crash or damage autonomy devices

• tried collecting images with manual control instead of auto mission

  • manual control tends to be more flexible also the fly speed is slower than auto-mission

• after increasing the image size, the camera significantly takes more time to take photos

  • more time needs to be spent on the flight

• the first flight rpi was taking photos normally but the number of photo taken from the following flights were significantly lower

  • also rpi reports low voltage on power supply message

    • shouldn’t be buck converter’s issue tho we didn’t have DMM at that moment to test voltage

  • suspect the rpi lost performance under very low temperatures (about 0 degrees)

  • a car will be required for the next image-collecting flight test so that rpi and batteries can be warmed up between flights

• more 3s lipo batteries will be ideal

  • 4 3s batteries we have, one of them has a bad balance port

• The flight test location isn’t safe

  • 43°28'23.4"N 80°34'01.8"W

  • between the flights when we were checking equipment, there were 6 cars suddenly drove behind us and we first thought they were gonna deal drugs

  • we run the north cornfield across the street

  • it turns out those guys were showing off their cars and driving around the turnabout by turns
