This is a basic sensor test to see that everything is operating correctly, without the simulator
After testing the sensors by themselves, we tested the simulator using the Payload Interface Board, to model how we will check data on the day of flight
For our final build, we had these elements with our mounting:
Camera on the bottom panel, facing downward, so that it can capture the agriculture below
M4, Sensors, and Breadboard all adjacent to each other (breadboard and sensors opposite), to try and make wiring a little more in check. Used binds to attempt in keeping the wires neat.
Sensors all on one side along with the MicroSD to have easy access to them in case of something going wrong (e.g. wires pop out, sensors stops functioning).
Soldered breadboard to make all wiring secure and no wires pop out in flight
This is the presentation that we recorded with the NASA TechRise coordinators, and the presentation that will be shown at our showcase on May 5th. It explains what our project is, the objective, pictures, experimental processes, major components, and why the research is important!
