This repository contains code for the pod subsystems and the main control which will bring all the systems together. It also integrates sensors from Sensors repo. Anyone working on controls, work in this repository.
Anyone who is willing to work on this can clone this repo and then work on sub branch for your part. Once finished with your part, you can make a pull request and after review the code we can merge it to the main branch. When working on a new system, do following:
What to Do
- Make a separate folder insider src folder for your particular system. All the code for that system goes in that folder.
- If you need any library, add it inside lib folder.
- For testing you can create your main.cpp file but make sure there are not multiple main files. In order to avoid this,
add your main file to
.gitignore. This way everyone can have their separate main files.

We will be communication with Raspberry Pi back and forth using Serial. Below is the information about it:
- We will have our data in JSON format therefore use JsonHandler library to encode and decode data
- To send data to Raspberry Pi, we will write it to Serial. To work with Serial, use WSerial library
Information about each command and sensor output is listed here.
