Environmental Sensor Assessment for a Light Quadcopter Drone

Abstract This paper presented drone design and environmental sensor assessment. The assessment was conducted for temperature and pressure. The measurements were performed offline and online. Offline measurement was by locating drone inside a controlled chamber, while online measurement was when drone is flying. Assessment shows that there were significant error differences in temperature, where offline drone exerted only 0.75% error, but online drone produced 6.23% error. Error increases as temperature increases. Pressure assessment exerted a slight error different between offline and online drone, 0.16% and 0.17%.
