Logging Messages

Refer to Logging Research for a starting point (and necessary data) courtesy of Gordan

Brainstorm

• Information we need in every message

  • Timestamp

    • uint32 seconds + uint32 nanoseconds

      • range for seconds: 0 - infinity

      • range for nanoseconds: 0 - 10^9

  • Error codes (int32)

• Odometry

  • speed

  • coordinates in relation to the starting point? (starting point/home is (0,0) and everything is relative)

• Telemetry

  • sensor data (IMU, GPS, etc)

  • path manager waypoints

  • GPS coordinates

  • Target vs actual/current values of altimeter, RPM, Euler angles, etc.

• State Report

  • PID

  • flight mode (takeoff, landing, is landed, following waypoints, etc.)

  • battery charge

• CV info wanted

• Electrical info wanted

• Firmware info wanted

• state of the telemetry, path manager waypoints, and attitude manager state
