[Daily Update] Week 8 Day 4 - Hui Min

List of things done:

  • Complete Rewiring!
    - Choose to use the PDB made yesterday, as redoing is tedious and time-consuming
    - Mount PDB higher, above the main platform
    - Mount RC receiver and Telemetry receiver higher, as the DF13 wires are not long enough
  • Compassmot testing. The turning motor will affect the magnetometer by 9% max. Tolerance is 30%. So the current configuration is acceptable.

  • Semi-auto flight with the re-wired bird. Quite elegant, but experience occasional wobbling.
Things to do:
  • The pixhawk is tilted to the right slightly, due to uneven bottom surface. Re-position of foam will solve the problem.
  • Video transmission system hand over to me, try to troubleshoot if the transmitter is malfunctioning (spectrum analyzer)
  • Vibration test.
