Group 6 and I was on Software Team with Nico
My team modified DATX #3 by installing V2.7.1 software version onto the controller.
Downloaded new software onto computer
Steps: used DATX 6 to do the hardware
Looked at two models provided and identified what switches were different, needed to be removed, and switches were considered standard and needed to stay Then we disassembled the DATXRemoved 6 screws from the back and carefully separated the two sidesCareful of the ribbon Removed the Nonstandard switches by unscrewing the washerHot glued the Nonstandard switches onto the plastic parts of the DATXCareful to not limit the range of motion of the joysticksCarefully places the two sides togetherAgain, careful to not damage the ribbonScrewed them backed together
The importance of each team’s task was to ensure that the manual controller was functioning properly and that the software was up to date. This reinforces the risk mitigation that the controller is running properly so we have a safe flight. The reliability of the controller is just as important are the airworthiness of the aircraft.AllowAllow
DATX Setup and Modification - Oct. 23rd, 2025
During this lab, we utilized a variety of different software to ensure the proper set up of flight controllers prior to the construction of the Believers. Some problems that we encountered were the controllers were difficult to properly disassemble, and the flashing of software was an issue. This was mainly due to the poor instructions online, so there was some problem solving. Overall, we achieved the desired outcome and are ready to proceed to the next steps in building onto this system.
