AT219 Digital Multi Meter and Breadboard (Lab 2)

Image
 In this lab, we used a battery pack, breadboard, resistors, wires, and a Digital Multi Meter to test resistance, voltage, and amperage. We created a circuit on the breadboard and switched out resistors of different resistances.  We had 4x 1.5 Volt batteries powering the circuit. We could measure voltage in parallel with the circuit, meaning we could just touch the ends of the multi-meter to each side of the resistor. This would measure the voltage drop across that resistor. The voltage drop stayed constant in the circuit no matter what resistor we used. Increasing resistance would only decrease the current. We measured current by making the multi-meter a part of the circuit, and not putting it in parallel. The picture below shows my lab partner and I measuring the voltage in parallel across the resistor. The table below shows the measured values using different resistors. Resistor Resistance (R) Voltage (V) Current (I) Power (P) ...

AT219 Remote ID Fact Check (Lab 1)

 Michael Holland Introduction Remote ID is a technology that broadcasts the drone's location, altitude, and identity. This allows other people to see where the drone is. There are three methods for complying. The first method is Standard Remote ID, which is where the Remote ID is broadcast as a part of the drone's hardware and software. In other words, it is "built-in". The second method of compliance if you have a drone without Standard RID is to buy a separate module that you can attach to the drone. This is called a "broadcast module". The third method is for drones without Remote ID. You can operate one of these drones in an FAA- Recognized Identification Area, which is an area exempt from the Remote ID requirements. Verify DJI Mavic 2 Pro is RID Compliant The FAA has a Declaration of Compliance page with a list of all Remote ID aircraft that have been officially approved by the FAA. This list contained the Mavic 2 Pro which means the FAA has verified th...
