9/7/22 Attaching the Payload

Colin Szeto

Here with the payload plate mounted onto the rail inserts the pins were not able to insert through the holes

By adding spacers between the t rail and the payload plate this eliminated the force the payload plate was pushing on the rail blocks and allowed the pin to slide through the holes easily

Interference was found between the magnetic claw interface plate and the mourning rail. This was due to the socket head m3 screws not modeled into the drone CAD

The drone causes quite a bit of down draft, in testing environments we want to eliminate debri jumping from the ground and cracking the oak-d lite glass lense. 

We repurposed plastic sheets used for face shield as the camera cover

The plastic was cut to size to be glued onto the oak-d lite camera holder

The glue up was transferred to the vice to apply even constant pressure along the mated faces

This is the final result with the plastic adhered onto the front of the oak-d lite case

Here is both the HSI camera and the bottom facing oak-d lite mounted onto the payload rail mounted on the drone
