Add preliminary aoview code

2009-05-16T09:25:04+00:00

AoView connects with TeleDongle to present telemetry information in a reasonable form. Right now, it just displays information to stdout, but it does have fancy dialogs for finding the USB devices. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Discard usb output before connection. Handle USB reset.

2009-05-14T03:41:54+00:00

Discarding output before USB is plugged in allows threads that send output and do other things to work without a USB connection. Unfortuantely, there doesn't appear to be any way to detect when the USB link is disconnected, which means that once USB is enabled, future writes will continue to block. USB reset causes the USB interrupts to all be reconfigured back to power-on state. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Enable radio monitor by default in teleterra, teledongle and tidongle

2009-05-14T03:40:42+00:00

These ground loads want to monitor the radio constantly, and not require use of the 'm' command before listening. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Remove monitor/rssi functions from telemetrum load

2009-05-14T03:39:28+00:00

Telemetrum is now a flight-only load, use teleterra or teledongle for ground boards. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Split out ao_state_names to separate file

2009-05-14T03:38:11+00:00

Allows state names to be used in programs without monitoring enabled. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Indicate RSSI with a blinking LED

2009-05-13T21:29:30+00:00

Blink the red LED at a rate proportional to the RSSI value. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Make ao_flight_test show AGL altitude and positive acceleration under boost

2009-05-13T18:19:13+00:00

This makes the output more readable Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Make ao_flight_test able to read raw logging data

2009-05-13T18:18:24+00:00

Protect ao_flight_test reading functions so that a simple 'script' output can be fed to the program and have it work correctly. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Print only RSSI when packet CRC is invalid

2009-05-13T18:16:53+00:00

Packets with invalid CRC usually contain bogus data, so don't print that, just print out the RSSI which may contain useful data. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Accelerometer-based velocity values are invalid after apogee

2009-05-13T18:00:43+00:00

Because the orientation of the flight computer relative to the ground is unknown after apogee, the accelerometer data cannot be integrated to compute velocity. Main deploy is now based purely on barometric altitude and landing detection no longer checks for a low velocity value. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
