Latest updates to the Stabilisation System

Much work has been done on the stabilisation system. Accomplishments have been:-

  • Updates to payload tray to hold the 2 x 240mAH LiPo batteries
  • Tray mods to help run wires
  • Improvements in design/methodology to assemble the whole unit
  • Resolution of the Crashing issue with the Arduino program
  • Creation of the bottom servo mechanical units
  • Updates to program to save servo move data
  • Updates to program to allow movement of Servo 0.2 seconds after flight has commenced.

We have started to assemble everything. There is a large amount still yet to be done. Here are some pictures of the components being assembled.
