\uD83D\uDCCA Success metrics
Goal | Metric |
|---|---|
Safety | Protects People, prevents drone linear movement |
Minimum angular resistance | Minimize friction/moment of inertia to tune PIDs as closely to flight as possible. |
Fastens to both the pitch and roll axes of the drone as close to the Center of Gravity as possible. | Connects securely to the drone in 2 alignments 90 degrees apart Approximately rotating around the C.o.G |
\uD83E\uDD14 Assumptions
The rig will be used for only quadcopter PID tuning for (only) pitch and roll
\uD83D\uDDD2 Requirements
Requirements / Constraints | Context | Priority | Owner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Drone will have only 1 rotational D.o.F | Only Pitch OR Roll will be tuned at once. | HIGH MEDIUM | ||
Drone will be secured so that it cannot move linearly. | Don’t want drone flying away | HIGH MEDIUMLOW |
|
|
Heavy enough (or can be secured) such that multiple sizes of drone can be secured operating at full throttle | Don’t want drone flying away | HIGH | ||
Safe way to inject a force on a set of props | Point of tuning is to test stability of drone when subject to external forces | MEDIUM |
