Aero Week 7 Robbie Mc. Nally

What I did. . . -Talked to Russo Clarified DAS precision requirements -Submitted Ec. E department funding letter -Setup time for Radio Link Budget meeting with Professor Hedrick -Received SD Cards -Camera Testing -Designed an alternate/backup system -Started calculating data rate for transmitter/receiver in system 1 -Researched Li. PO batteries for way too long

System 1: Optimus Prime

System 2: Batman Seagull Wireless Dashboard Flight System $369. 99

Seagull Wireless Dashboard Flight System ● ● $369. 99 900 MHz, 200 m. W (US FCC Approved, up to 1. 2 Miles Range with included Wire Antennas) The Seagull Telemetry system has 3 main components: ● Seagull Dashboard Telemetry Receiver - this unit displays telemetry data, and sounds alarms when problems occur. ● Onboard Flight Data Recorder - this unit collects the data from built-in and external sensors. ● Onboard Telemetry Transmitter - this unit sends the data from the Recorder to the Dashboard ● Airspeed from ~9 MPH to 290 MPH ● USB Live Mode for real time bench monitoring ● Altitude to 25, 000+ feet ● Lightweight - approx 1. 5 ounces with unit and cables ● Ultra-low power consumption - around 35 m. A ● Fully compatible with all known flight RC radios – no need to replace existing electronics ● Small self-contained LCD Telemetry receiver attaches simply to controller

Batteries FPV Transmitter: 11. 1 V-12 V | 2 s-4 s FPV Receiver: 11. 1 V-12 V | 2 s-3 s Arduino: 5 V-12 V for barrel jack Servos: ? ? What I think we Need: -2 Li. Po 3 S 11. 1 V batteries: 1 for plane and 1 for receiver on ground -Low Voltage Cutoff or Li. Po Voltage Alarm

Next Week… -Battery and power calculations -Servo current drain -DAS power: Tx/Rx, Arduino, Sensors -FPV power: Tx/Rx (separate locations) -Start assembling and coding -Order batteries, charger, and new airspeed sensor if needed -Determine electrical component of drop mechanism to order parts
