A Python implementation of similar-functioning avionics code designed to be run on the avionics bay. Originally designed for the 2019-2020 Clemson University Rocket Engineering year.
This software suite is designed to work with a Raspberry Pi and Sense-Hat with other specific components specified in the documentation. Components be easily changed by modifying low_level classes.
This is the 21st century. Batteries are cheap. So are computers. We can afford to run a linux kernel on a rocket. The goals of this system are to
- Be reusable. We don't want to have to rewrite the codebase for different microprocessors or components.
- Be modular. Both so multiple people can maintain different components of the software and so each is easily understood and independent.
- Be easy. Everyone who's written hello world should be able to read the higher-order files and understand what they actually do. This also implies documentation.
The current status is Golden Golden 2.
