====== Thermal Tests ======


To determine whether a companion pc is capable for use in a closed capsule inside the drone, the temperature, power usage + ???( e.g. run algorithms) needs to be measured which is needed in a similar setup.

  * put the unit into a box
  * connect camera
  * trigger a camera shot every second
  * measure temperature by using onboard sensor 
  * measure average power usage by using external power meter
  * run the test for at least 30 minutes
