Wireless Communication

Process

1. Rocket Code
   • (still figuring out an approach, sorry about that)
2. Base Station Code
   • Really, just have it log whatever it receives to the serial and blink a light. (And, depending on how things go, input from the serial to transmit.)
3. Profit!

Capabilities

• [x] Rocket --> Base Data Transmission
  • I'm not entirely sure how fast we can transmit and record data at once, we might have to rate-limit the transmission (send 1 out of every 10 samples, or something).
• [ ] Base --> Rocket Health Ping ("hey are you okay?", "yep :D")
• [ ] Request all data from rocket?
  • (My thoughts for this is for this to be used in the event that the rocket is unrecoverable / unlikely to live, we can basically copy all of the bits of data to the base station. This is non-critical!)

...alright, most of its there to go from rocket -> base station, still have to actually send the data (the important bit), but it does scream errors which is nice

[itsactuallyluna9]

Mostly done bare-bones, just need to add data logging and fix packet sizes.

[itsactuallyluna9]

just need to stress test the data logging! goal: near 50ms (what the previous logging rate is)

[itsactuallyluna9]

now that more of the numbers are in, im not quite certain about screaming all of the data while in transit? I need to find more time so I can implement task 3...
