Thermal endurance test - test motor performance in a warm environment
Constant thrust test - use a proportional integral derivative (PID) script to study drone systems that hover at constant thrust
Icing endurance test - test propeller performance in a cold and humid environment
Mechanical endurance testing - continuous operation to determine when components will fail
Flight replay - measure the endurance of a propulsion system on a specific flight path by uploading PWM values
Fatigue testing - demonstrate the safety of a drone/propulsion system under cyclic loads
• Determine the useful life of components
• Create accurate technical documents
• Select the most dependable components
• Improve safety and reliability
• Gather data for drone certification
1. Open the RCbenchmark software
2. Go to the 'Automatic Control' tab and select the pre-written script, “Custom steps sequence” from the drop-down menu
3. Clone the script and edit the throttle points, hold times, and the number of test cycles
4. Click 'Run' and watch as your data comes in live, then export it to .CSV
Any throttle pattern can be used for endurance testing, such as step, sweep, sinusoidal, flight replay, etc.
Watch as we program and run an endurance test using our RCbenchmark software.
