No Water Temperature Measurement #1

Open uscauv opened 11 years ago

uscauv commented 11 years ago

There is currently no estimate of external water temperature published. This is a because the hardware on Seabee does not support external temperature measurement. Physics simulation relies on this data to look up water density. Sonar localization will rely on it to look up the velocity of sound in water.

So we need a few things - a temperature sensor, a driver for the sensor, and code to handle the data and publish it?

Temperature sensor will go in the sensor boom, see http://code.google.com/p/seabee3-ros-pkg/wiki/SensorBoom. So it will be handled by the GPIO board and driver. For now we should make a dummy temperature launch file that will just publish a constant temperature.

Sidenote: we need to bring the old wiki over here.
