2020-06-14 Meeting notes

Teerstra update

Annie

• Will poke this week

  • About team state

  • About MATLAB License

Unmerged PRs

• Annie will review today

Sensor Fusion Update

Lucy

• Abstract class prevents production and test build

  • Sol prod: Provide blank implementation in sensor.cpp files

  • Sol test: Writing a test file should help w/ test build

• Integration test info: Could test algo accuracy by comparing w/ MATLAB values

• MATLAB has a SensorFusion Toolbox! School doesn’t provide tho (add to MM on Asana)

State Machine Update

Annie

• Started looking at RTOS stuff - understanding what needs to be done

  • Figuring out how the main state machine could be split up

Simulation Update

Anthony

• A GOOD TIME. Very cool!

• New repo Simulink-sim

• Simulations take values from local files (throttle.txt, aileron.txt, etc.) - info we'd be sending to safety - and a c-module intercepts those. The data is fed into an insane algo, which can solve diff eqs in all 6-DOF - outputs calculated data, which can then be input into sensor interfaces.

• Doesn’t have Spike behavior yet, but semi-ready to hook into the state machine bc we can still send data

  • Needs some cmakelists.txt tweaking

  • MATLAB has access to USAF Digital DATCOM files that can simulate aerodynamic properties of real-life aerial vehicles!!! If this can be added to the Simulink-sim, Spike behavior can be properly simulated!!

June Goals

Recall: AttitudeManager + Unit and Integration Test should be done by June 28th.

REQ: Module guts, State Machine Implementation, Testing infrastructure

• Touch base Wednesday evening to see progress
