NAME DEVICE P09233
Airframe Measurements
1) DEVICE Name:
Explain what your device is, what it is used to measure, why is it important to have this
device, how/why is it needed for a UAV, or our project.
2) Design Specification:
Start by talking about what the project requires out of your device, and then talk about the
specifications of the exact device that we are currently using, min/max voltage, power
required, data output, etc. and then talk about how this device satisfies those
requirements, and why/how those requirements came about. Is there more than one way
to do what you are doing, if so explain it here and talk about why the way you are doing
it is the best/most practical?
3) Pugh Analysis:
Discuss the full spread sheet of different devices that you have researched, then zero in
on the few devices that made the first round of the Pugh analysis. Explain how the Pugh
analysis was used to narrow down your device options, discuss the Pugh analysis, both
the screening matrix and the selection matrix, do not included the tables in this document,
but reference them and we will include them in the appendix. Talk about why the devices
that made it to the final stage of the Pugh analysis where not purchased, and why the
device we purchased is the best one.
4) Components Specification:
Included scans of documents that came with your device, include more detailed specs,
and user manuals, explain how to use the device, also talk about how the device can
interface with the MCU, Computer, or other data logging tool. Talk about how to mount
the device, is it sensitive to anything (temp, interference, vibration). How does the device
output data, and at what rate. How do you use the device. Talk about the cost,
maintenance (does it need to be calibrated every time it is used?),
5) Test Plan:
Discuss how you will test the device to verify that it is calibrated, how well it meets the
Design Specifications, include theoretical stuff here, equations, code, etc.
6) Test Results:

Discuss the Results of the testing, reference plots and diagrams, and discuss what they
mean, how well the device performed, and make a recommendation whether to
implement the device or to look for a better alternative.
7) Final Design:
If the original device does not meet the Design Specifications then repeat the above until
a final device is chosen. Otherwise talk about the Final Design.
