MAINTENANCE PLAN
all the components are in working order. One of the easiest ways to accomplish
this is to develop test code that will run on the hardware and will give you a
set of known outputs. Having something that will test all components several
times under different inputs and outputs is key to insure that the PCB is in
good working order.

Maintenance Plan
We will continue to work on and develop this project for the rest of the
school year, and with any luck beyond the end of the year. The current status
of the project can always be found at the project blog ([2]).

For the next ten weeks
This senior design project is no where it needs to be as for a finished product
and will require a lot more time to get there. In the following weeks we hope to
accomplish the following tasks:
* Write motor PID object
* Calibrate the pressure sensors for the test stand
* Characterizing the Motors and Propellers
* Create Eagle Tree wiring harnesses
* Finalize mechanical assembly
* Mount the IMU onto the quadrotor
* Write the IMU interface object
* Set up wireless interfacing
* Balancing of the propellers
* Build Roll and Pitch test stand
* Write Motor control object
* Finish all electrical wiring for the quadrotor
* Write attitude control object
* Build yaw test stand
* Write altitude control object
* Test for physical limit of payload capacity
These are just some of the many items that we hope to complete in the following
ten weeks.
