# FR-1 Trace lengths
## The experiment
For the experiment, I used FR-1 that has a thickness of 35µm. On there I will mill 4 trace sizes (0.4 mm, 0,6 mm, 0,8 mm and 1 mm) and they all have the same length of 7.5 cm’s. The traces are seperated by 1 Cm.

the power. So I grabbed an old robot with 4 stepper motors attached but I could not get them to draw more than 30 watts. So that is why the maximum in this test is 30 watts. I also had a hard time finding a way to measure the temperature of the traces because we only had a heat gun here and the laser was not the place it was actually measuring. So 0,4 mm is not measured properly.

* The 0,4 mm trace was the first one I tested. I started with 15 watts for a few seconds. After that I increased the wattage to 20 watts and the trace instantly exploded and burned so I could not get temperature readings there.
* The 0,4 mm trace was the first one I tested. I started with 0.7 amps for a few seconds. After that I increased the wattage to 0.85 amps and the trace instantly exploded and burned so I could not get temperature readings there.
* The 0,6 mm trace it held up well up to 27 watts where it started getting burn marks within a 5-10 seconds. The temperature rose to 50 degrees celsius. At 29 watts the pcb burned out at 68 degrees celsius.
* The 0,6 mm trace it held up well up to 0.9 amps where it started getting burn marks within a 5-10 seconds. The temperature rose to 50 degrees celsius. At 1.05 amps the pcb burned out at 68 degrees celsius.
* When testing the 0,8 mm trace I hit a roof with how much power I could consume with the robot. I could only get up to 30 watts and I did not manage to break the trace after powering it for a few minutes. The maximum I found before it started discoloring was 24 watts at 54 degrees celsius. This was measured after it was left on for 2 minutes.

* I could not get to the 1mm trace because the robot could not draw more than 30 watts. So thats why these are not filled in the table.

I've already gotten the motors to spin in [week 10](../Assignments/week_10_output_devices/output_devices.md) using the script in there. Now I also need to modify the original VTOL driver so my ESC's can properly understand it's instructions.

There's one specific function I need to change.
