Here my video component of Deliverable 2 for the 2010 OBC. According to section 6.2 of the rules the video must show the following:
Hi All,
I am currently being plagued by PPM encoder issues so i have been unable to fly the plane yet but i have forced on and achieved the following:
- Installed Autopilot and failsafe electronics.
- Installed & tested water bottle drop mechanism
- Installed and calibrated IR sensors.
- Installed & tested GPS
- Due to issues with the ppm encoder i have only achieved partial system integration however I am still able to switch between full-auto mode and full-manual mode via a workaround.
The jiffy box houses the Autopilot - Encoder - RC receiver - Failsafe device.
