TODO

Strikethrough means an item is complete.

Incomplete

• Clear // TODO: annotations in main.cpp after discussion
• Implement FlightState-based control loop in void loop() with switch() block
  • Add goal items to the state vector
    • Duty cycle goal for fan pods is only != MIN_COMMAND when in POWERED_ASSENTand BALLISTIC_TRAJECTORY states
  • Place timeout on spinning motors after POWERED_ASSENT activated
  • Save timestamp for each state transition into a global variable
  • Transition to CALIBRATING_ESC: when arming switch triggered (LOW --> HIGH)
  • Transition to ARMED: when 3-second ESC calibration is complete
  • Transition to POWERED_ASSENT: when IMU sees >2g's of vertical acceleration
  • Transition to BALLISTIC_TRAJECTORY: when IMU sees <2g's of vertical acceleration
  • Transition to CHUTE_DEPLOYED: when IMU sees violent jerk of deployment mech
  • Transition to LANDED: when IMU sees violent jerk of landing
• Implement event tracking, add as detected to state vector
  • Decide what events are worth noting down

Aspirations

• Camera recorder via “pressing” the record button?
• Landing buzzer control?

Completed

• Flight controller (PWM Output)
• Flight state data logger
• Implement CALIBRATING and DISARMED states in FlightState enum type
  • Rename ON_PAD state to ARMED
• Verify that pin assignments in constants.h match reality
• Configure TravisCI
• Implement RGB status LED control
  • Add debug color for error code to EXTernal LED (activated in setup() if I/O not initialized properly)
  • EXPeriment codes
    • RED when >1g
    • GREEN when within +/- .1g
    • BLUE when negative <0g
  • EXTernal codes
    • RED when EXC calibration complete
    • GREEN when fans turned on
    • RED when fans off
  • Create constants for pin assignments and colors in constants.h
  • Implement helper function to write color to LED already
