Devlog #4: chasing the dead motor + first autonomous code

plugged in the battery and ran a test today, found a few bugs.

the main one: one of the motors still wouldn’t work. so i went through it properly this time. resoldered all the connections, swapped in a known-working motor, still no spin. then i uncapped the battery pull going to that motor to check if it was a power issue, and still nothing. resoldered everything one more time, and it still wouldn’t spin.

at that point i figured it has to be the bullet plug connectors, so i’ve ordered new ones.

on the software side i actually made some progress, wrote some of the python autonomous flight code by SSHing into the raspberry pi. nice to move the code forward while the hardware’s still being stubborn.
