One of the biggest issues our group has to tackle is replacing the existing battery power system with our own. We have designed a power system and Justin was able to test that it outputted the correct DC voltage to the drone several weeks ago in Jacobs Hall. This was a big checkpoint for our group, now we can begin braiding the wire and building the entire power system.
Based on the specifications provided by DJI, the expected payload for the M100 is 6.2 lbs without the stock battery. In order to verify that the drone was able to carry enough weight to support our project, we ran the battery powered drone with a payload of 5 lbs as shown below.
