PSAS/ ToDoList

Current to do list: USENIX 2003

(This page is for the current PSAS to do list for the next major event(s). Feel free to edit, add, etc.)

On Ian's suggestion, here's the current to do list, along with who should be doing what. I've missed some here and there, so as always, please edit.

IMU -> CAN -> FC -> 802.11b -> TC

  1. APS (Avionics Power System)
    1. Shutdown system, LEDS: done - AndrewGreenberg
    2. APSState machine: In testing - AndrewGreenberg
    3. volts/amps calibration: in progress - AndrewGreenberg
  2. IMU
    1. check to see if we need any changes - AndrewGreenberg
    2. Calibration constants - AndrewGreenberg/TAB
  3. System
    1. Power & CAN cabling: done - AndrewGreenberg/TAB
  4. Get FC software working
    1. sequencer & APS: who is working on this?
    2. refactor CAN and NET code into library to share between FC and LTC: done - ?JamesPerkins
    3. implement FC tasks to use the library: done - ?JamesPerkins
  5. Freeze CAN messages: still working on it - AndrewGreenberg
  6. Update rocketview: done - ?DavidCassard
  7. Integration: done (packets from IMU displayed in rocketview!)

LCC -> 802.11b -> LTC -> LT

  1. Finish the launch tower PC104 computer: done except for nice IDE cable - AndrewGreenberg
    1. Get the image on the new CF card booting on the LTC: done- AndrewGreenberg
    2. Reconfigure for launch tower (new addr, new software)
    3. Get 802.11b card working
    4. make a second ethernet cable
  2. make a generic PIC board for relays and special effects: Ted/Andrew
    1. allocate unique CAN ids for the various relays (data: 0 off, 1 on)
    2. the "Launch" command should also take a password to deter false positives)
  3. write LTC software - IanOsgood
    1. single process CAN-NET bridge, using CAN/NET libraries: done - IanOsgood
    2. rewrite it to use TCP (same as renegade) to ensure the commands get through: done - Ian
    3. unit tests: done - Ian
    4. test on board - Ian/Andrew/James
  4. adapt Launch Control to send CAN TCP packets to both tower and rocket - ?KarlHallowell
  5. integration: LCC - LTC - PIC

Other

  1. Posters in some vector format - Andrew, using the services of the PSU Graphic Design Center:
    1. Vehicles
    2. LV2 (airframe, launch diagram)
    3. Avionics
    4. Software
    5. GPL-GPS
  2. To bring list
  3. Presentation for Saturday
