| Comments | Parachute itself does work. Was tested by attaching a payload and it did lower decent rate and minimize damage however full system was not completed therefore full test could not be compelted |
Testing Steps
- Send the emergency shutdown message to the main flight controller
- Observe the output of the main flight controller. Motor powerdown messages should be observed, and control surfaces should return to idle.
- Observe the parachute bay. The servo holding the cap shut should release after the emergency shutdown message has been received and the motor powerdown messages have been acknowledged.
