Tests

Every test we've run or planned, newest first, with where it stands against the requirements. Plans and results get their own Journal posts; raw data, analysis and reports are in the team's private repo under tests/.

Status

Date	Test (schedule task)	Requirement	Status	Posts
TBD	1.04 re-test: array alone on a non-metallic stand, centered on the turntable, 15° steps both directions	REQ-001 / KPP1 (TP-1)	Planned	—
20 Oct 2026	1.04 Anechoic chamber DF characterization (follower array)	REQ-001 / KPP1 (TP-1); RISK-1 mitigation 1.1	Ran. Kraken error too large for REQ-001 (24.0° RMS vs. ~1–3° needed); precision 0.36°, repeatable within 1°. Re-test planned	Plan · Results
16 Oct 2026	Indoor bearing check with the HackRF (lab)	—	Done. Data path, timing and pairing work; indoor reflections make bearings unreliable, which led to the chamber test	—
16 Sep 2026	Anechoic chamber detection test (Kraken sees 915 MHz)	—	Done. Detection confirmed	Plan

Carried over from 20 Oct (not yet run)

Test point	What	Why it slipped
1.04.4	Repeat sweep with every point tagged in the logger	Out of time
1.04.5	Leader drone's array on the turntable	Out of time
1.05.1	Transmit-power sweep at 0° and 90°	Ethernet couldn't reach the transmitter at the chamber edge
2.03.1	Drone in the chamber, Cube heading on the same timing	Out of time

Requirement status at a glance

Requirement	Where it stands
REQ-001 / KPP1 (localization accuracy)	Not met yet. Bearing error in the 20 Oct setup was 24.0° RMS; the cart under the array is the leading suspect. RISK-1 stays High until the re-test.
REQ-001.1 (array configuration)	Partial. Software set correctly; physical radius and coax matching not yet measured.
REQ-001.2.1 (DOA–pose time alignment)	Pi 4 ↔ Pi 5 clocks agree to ~1 ms; pairing with the Cube in a test not yet run.
REQ-001.3 (signal level for valid bearings)	Partial. Lock at −59 dB or stronger at 2.5–3 m; threshold still TBD in the RVTM.
