Pyboards Setup and Configuration #1

Open sua-dev opened 2 years ago

sua-dev commented 2 years ago

Having spent time inspecting the code provided by Ardusimple and the simpleRTK2B, it would be ideal to try to implement the strategy involved in getting the devices to talk to each other and in addition to getting the 'rover' to send a fix back to the base. It's a little bit unclear how they distinguish the devices considering they use configuration files... I believe the task at hand should be to make sure that the devices can talk to each other, and make use of the understanding involved in the UART in their C-code. Ideally, leaving comments here should be a good place to view, inspect and discuss strategies on this matter.

The green pyboard has been flashed with all the available code in this repository. The black pyboard does not appear to have anything flashed onto it. It only contains a main file and a boot file. The output from the terminal using Mu Editor provides an endless loop of messages being sent off with timestamps and returning values from the range of (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3) The pyboard LCD screen appears responsive, although there haven't been any updates yet since the device hasn't been taken outside.

Kirk's Comments: "I wonder if the pyboards can be linked to the new ardusimple boards which have the final radios." "So a possible thing to try is the pyboard rover code just listening to an ardusimple board - which is either standalone initially - or getting corrections from the base ardusimple." Tasks:
