Function Documentation

deploy()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::deploy

(

)

Deployment sequence.

Todo:

SD is begun twice. is this needed?

Todo:

try storing burnwire complete and deployment separately. deployed.txt should only be written after DEPLOYMENT_LENGTH.

enableRFM23Radio()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::enableRFM23Radio

(

)

Provides power to the RFM23 radio.

Todo:

The radio is connected to the 3V3_2 switch however it is still getting power from somewhere else. Uncommenting these two lines crashes the flight software. troubleshoot hardware & software.

handle_queue()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::handle_queue

(

)

Helper function to handle packet queue.

This is a helper function called in loop() that checks for packets and routes them to the PDU.

loop()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::loop

(

)

The PDU loop function.

This function runs in an infinite loop after setup() completes. It routes packets going to and coming from the PDU.

pdu_channel()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::pdu_channel

(

)

The top-level channel definition.

This is the function that defines the PDU channel. Like an Arduino script, it has a setup() function that is run once, then loop() runs forever.

setup()

void Artemis::Channels::PDU::setup

(

)

The PDU setup function.

This function is run once, when the channel is started. It connects to the PDU over a serial connection, tests the connection, then sets the PDU's switch states.
