July 17th, 2004: OMSI Space Day Demonstration

The main PSAS sign up page, along with a list of things to bring, is at: 2004-07-17

Goals

Here's our arbitrary goal to have working by then, in priority:

1. Camera broadcasting over ATV to ATV receiver.
2. Fake FC status display on ATV overlay.
3. Actual honest to god GPS data on the overlay.
4. Rocketview up and running displaying data.
5. Interaction with the launch tower to "launch" the rocket

So what does this mean for the software:

Sort of in order:

Flight Computer:

• Some skeleton version of sequencer which starts from init and goes to LaunchDetect.
  • Turns on CAN nodes: ATV, GPS, IMU
  • Some interaction with the launch tower via APS/umbilical (sets rocketready)
• Smart processing
  • GPS processing (done)
  • GPS to ATV processing: ATV code done, leave it in place? It needs a new FCFIFO process
  • uncanny up and running in some form

Launch Tower:

• uncanny up and running in some form
• launchcontrol up and running, which can relay CAN messages via the LTC to the LT relay node

Ground Station:

• rocketview up and running, displaying IMU (done) and GPS data
