Airbrake Mechanism Update
06/21/2019 at 13:35 • 0 commentsI finally decided to go with an Iris diaphragm mechanism for the airbrake itself. Something that would be compact and still maximize the braking area while only using one servo, without any real strain being placed on that servo. The first printed version works ish. One of the fins doesn't close all the way because of an alignment issue, but for version one it works.

PCB Update
06/21/2019 at 13:31 • 0 commentsBasically I forgot I even had an account here until I got an email. The PCB has been redesigned about 25 times. Finally got a one sided design I'm happy with. The PCB has been milled and drilled, all of the components soldered. Everything works as intended. There will eventually be a video on the milling and drilling of the PCB, but may be a week or two.
