Sensor Apps in Development

Currently, we have developed an adaptor board for the BeagleBone Black which houses several sensors including pressure/temp, accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer. This coming semester (F2024) we will be fixing some remaining bugs on that board, as well as adding a GPS. Work for sensors specifically will be done in the sensorDev branch, which when finalized will be merged with the dev branch. After testing is completed on the dev branch and we feel confident in a final version of our code, it can be merged into main. Be careful when merging to main, as these should be finalized versions of our programs and will autogenerate documentation. The code that goes here should also be properly commented following C-style guidelines.

Our sensor suite topology will consist of a deployment in conjunction with the FPrime groundstation running on the BeagleBone Black.

Project Assignments

The assignment process will entail the creation of a GitHub issue that will be assigned to an individual/group of individuals. They will then create a branch from the development that will contain all the code needed. Upon completion of the work a pr will be opened and meeting with software lead to review code.
