Navigation Tests…
Hi everyone!
It’s been a hard working couple of weeks in the lab! We performed lots of testing on LED and photodiodes for the IR sensor, and had some troubles too (never trust a datasheet!!!). Anyways, it seems we got some reasonable results on both the polar response of the photodiode and the LED beam shape, and we are now processing the data to validate the model of the sensor. Stay tuned for updates! Meanwhile, here are some pictures (note the telescope support we used to rotate the LED and the receiver…)
