-TeleMetrum Low-level Access
- CC1111 4-wire debug interface:
- debug data, debug clock, reset, ground
- CP2103 -- 4 GPIOs controlled from USB
- One USB packet per half clock
- Beagle USB hardware monitor
- CC1111-based debug link
- emulates serial on USB
- provides high-level commands
-
-TeleMetrum Software Development Environment
- Small Device C Compiler, targeting 8051 CPU
- Source Debugger for SDCC
- Hex debugger using either CP2103 or CC1111 link
- Emulates mcs51 emulator
- Except talks to real hardware
- Hooks up to sdcdb
-
-AltOS architecture
- Multi-threaded
- Avoids the 'one big loop'
- Non pre-emptive
- Limits where pre-emption can occur
- sleep/wakeup rendezvous
- Good enough for Linux
- Timers, mutexes
- Basic OS services
-
-Flight software architecture
- Flight progress tracked through discrete states
- Pad - Sitting vertically
- Boost
- Acceleration > 2g and Speed > 5m/s
- or
- Height > +20m
- Fast
- Acceleration < -1/4g
- or
- Boost period > 15s
- Coast
- Speed < 200m/s
- or
- Height < Max_height - 500m
- Apogee
- Height < Max Height - 10m
- Main
- Height < Main Height
- Land
- Acceleration stable for 5 seconds
- Height stable for 5 seconds
- Height < Launch height + 1000m
-
-Calibration
- Radio calibrated by adjusting PLL against freq counter
- 48MHz crystal good to 20ppm
- 20ppm at 434MHz is 9Khz
- Accelerometer calibrated by rotating board on bench
- Accelerometer output runs through 5V->3.3V divider
- Uses 1% resistors
- Also automatically adjusts for 100G/50G/40G devices
-
-GPS adventures
- Problem: GPS looses satellites during boost phase
- GPS receivers track sats by synthesizing expected signal
- frequency based on relative velociy
- phase based on distance
- Change in actual signal means changing synthetic signal
- High acceleration means allowing faster changes
- Change rate limited by 'loop filter' bandwidth.
