Ground Software Architecture

Launch control perspective

Here, system means tower+rocket

Reading stuff from system
- Telem downlink
Writing stuff to system
- DTMF uplink - done
- WiFi uplink
- WiFi To Tower - done
- Tower controls
Tower
- n Relays to be controlled
- Tower computer is what we had at Blackrock 2002

So, what we really need to work on is the telemetry view and the WiFi Launch Control->FC uplink.

THings we need to work on

wifi protocol - update from existing version
telemetry to display (ids & ui)
commands needed during countdown
- arm
- powerdown?
- disarm
