A Python implementation of similar-functioning avionics code designed to be run on the avionics bay. Originally designed for the 2019-2020 Clemson University Rocket Engineering year. The releases are considered functionally complete.
This software suite is designed to work with a Raspberry Pi and Sense-Hat with other specific components specified in the documentation.
This is the 21st century. Batteries are cheap. So are computers. We can afford to run a linux kernel on a rocket. The goals of this system are to
- Be reusable. We don't want to have to rewrite the codebase for different microprocessors or components.
- Be modular. Both so multiple people can maintain different components of the software and so each is easily understood and independent.
- Be easy. Everyone who's written hello world should be able to read the higher-order files and understand what they actually do. This also implies documentation.
| Objective | Category | Status | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| System Integrity & Unit Tests | Testing | Progress | High |
| Kalman Filter | Simulation | Progress | Low |
Remove from this list if the commit satisfies the requirement.
- Unit-tests should evaluate every core function at least once
- A command-line option for running unit tests
- Finish simulation for custom kalman filter
- Rocket should recover itself if short happens restarting the raspberry pi
- GPS should record all possible measurements
