Today I spent time working on the drone we are building. I hooked up some of the ESC's, and started figuring out how to wire the flight controller to it all. Here is a really helpful video to hook up the flight controller click here. I also looked for a drill, but all the doors to the rooms with equipment were locked, so I couldn't find anything. I'm really looking foreward to Dr. Bill getting back so we can set up the laser cutter, and I am going to email him about ordering some carbon fiber sheets so we can cut pieces out of them. Also, during the last 15 minutes of class, I worked on finishing a slideshow for Global Issues. When working on the drone, I found that the platform I wanted to put on wouldn't fit with the power distribution board on, so I want to find a way to maybe fit it on the bottom or something. Having the platform would really help with fitting items onto the drone, and giving more room to add attachments. Next class, I hope that there will be someone who can unlock the lower workshop so I can get a drill and drill a hole to fit the power distribution board on.
