Send computed accel/vel/pres values over the radio

2009-05-18T05:29:54+00:00

These computed values reflect what the flight computer is actually refering to for state changes, and will be useful in debugging the flight software as well as provide a filtered view of the data. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Handle disappearing serial devices

2009-05-18T05:29:06+00:00

Put up a dialog when the serial open fails, and shut down monitoring when the serial device disappears while running. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

While on the pad, zero out velocity every second

2009-05-18T05:24:53+00:00

We integrate acceleration to get velocity, but that means sitting on the pad for a long time can add substantial error to the velocity value. Each second, take the velocity value from a full second ago and subtract that out of the current velocity. Once we detect boost, this will stop, which means that as long as we detect boost within a second, we won't have subtracted out any "real" velocity. This keeps the pad velocity hovering around zero, which is pretty useful. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Add lots more aoview UI bits

Logs data to files, displays current state in window. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

When logging starts up, right the whole ring to the log.

This preserves the data pre boost-detect for later analysis. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Abandon use of accelerometer for apogee detect.

2009-05-17T03:04:31+00:00

Integrating the accelerometer data to compute velocity worked for one rocket flight, but additional testing shows that it doesn't work in other airframes. Until we figure out how this should work, we'll rely on the altimeter to detect apogee. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
