Insight Light Rover: Quick Start Guide

System: Tethered Fiber Optic Inspection Rover Controller: Lenovo Legion Go

Beta Test Plan

Please download the Insight Light Rover Beta v0.1.pdf for the detailed test plan.

Validation Feedback Form

I have also included a Insight Rover EVT, DVT.pdf which contains the Validation Feedback Form.

• Objective: This form is critical for tracking the Engineering Validation Test (EVT) status.
• Instructions: Please fill out this form as you conduct your tests. It covers:
  • Boot & Connection: Verifying basic system startup and connectivity.
  • Mechanical Function: Testing joystick controls and zoom.
  • Recording Logic: Ensuring auto-recording works.
  • Critical Blockers: Any issues that prevent testing must be noted here.

A Note on Testing: While the test plan provides a structured guide, I encourage you to use the Insight Light Rover in your real-world use cases. Simulated tests are helpful, but real-world usage often reveals valuable insights and potential issues that might not appear in controlled environments. Your feedback from actual field operations is incredibly important to us!

1. Hardware Deployment

1. Connect Tether: Securely connect the fiber optic tether to the Insight Light Rover and the Ground Network Unit (GNU).

2. Power Ground Unit: Turn on the GNU. Wait for 30 sec for warm up.
3. Power Rover: Turn on the Rover.

   • Note: Recording starts when vehicle arms.
