Sun Sensor Angle Quadrant Check #19

Closed MathiasKerman closed 6 years ago

MathiasKerman commented 6 years ago

in sunsensor_processing_lib -> angles_to_vec, the third component of the vector needs to have the correct sign depending on which quadrant the angle is in. Currently, it can only be positive

Sun sensor needs to output invalid if |alpha|,|beta| <= 60deg.

MathiasKerman commented 6 years ago

Sun sensor processing library now outputs invalid if |alpha|,|beta| >= 60deg (note the typo in the above comment), and a unit test was written for all the possible cases.

The signs of alpha and beta were also tested to make sure they are consistent with the signs of x and y in the output sun vector.

Since the library will output invalid if alpha and beta are such that z is negative, no check for the proper sign of z is included.
