Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Make a fully-detailed software diagram that includes all information about 
seabee's software architecture from the high-level down to the low-level. This 
will be used as a quick visual reference for developers as well as a design 
utility when adding/updating packages.

Started work; experimented with Inkscape, Google Drawings, Open Office Draw, 
and Dia. Settled on Dia.

Description:

First version of software diagram completed. Dashed connectors are service 
paths (bi-directional). Solid connectors are message paths. Nodes are shown as 
a group of services, input topics, and output topics inside a namespace (dashed 
box around nodes). Input topics are below and to the left of the node name. 
Output topics are below and to the right of the node name. Services are 
centered above the node name.

Still to do:

-Add visualization for launch files
-Add visualization for params/dynamic_reconfigure
-Add visualization for viewable non-text debug content

Please comment/review.

Updated software diagram. Color-coded nodes based on the following 
classifications: drivers, low-level vision, high-level vision, planning, 
controls, data conversion. Added message dependency diagram. Fixed spelling 
errors. Added Temperature message type to seabee3_driver. Added 
tritech_micron_driver with scanline_converter and tritech_micron_node. 
Color-coded connectors based on expected bandwidth; from low to high: green, 
yellow, orange, red.
