This repo conatins payload-side cabin control and automation for the AEAC competition in Alma, Quebec 2023. A subscale model of an luxury air taxi was designed and automated. A roller-coaster like railing and belt system is controlled using a small linear actuator. The passenger cabin door opens from the side of the aircraft, actuated by a small servo motor, and locked shut by a small linear actuator.
Electronic components consist of:
Onboard:
- Teensey 4.0
- 2x PQ12-30-6R actuators
- 1 small metal geer servo
- RFD900x receiver
Ground:
- Arduino Uno
- RFD900x transmitter
