This space will be just used for brainstorming main features still missing in order to convert them into tasks. Demos can be built based on each subsystem.

GS

• Command Pipeline
  • Fix up the UI (more plain background), some features missing
  • Integrate API command endpoints when adding commands
  • View session screen
  • Command Response Visualization and Storage
    • Store the datetime of response
    • Need to check/work with the format of the response - might be different for each command
• GS State Machine
  • Get satellite position
    • Session times
    • Lowkey maybe do this for another sat alrdy up there
  • GNU radio integration
  • Packet the commands
  • Implement the comms state machine
  • Send the commands through selectable peripheral (e.g. UART v.s. CC1120)
  • Receive command responses (including telem)
• Telemetry Visualization
• ARO Key Exchange

CDH

• Telemetry downlink command
• Telemetry storage
• Arm + Execute for Safety Critical Commands
  • What are these commands?
• OBC Rev4 Bring Up
  • We can flash, but we should verify the following (the Rev4 is probably what is going on the actual satellite):
    • Ability to send commands, get responses
      • Test time-tagged commands (RTC)
        • I2C
    • Flash the Bootloader, ensure we can send the application binary
      • UART
    • Run the SD card example
      • SPI
    • Run the FRAM example
      • SPI
    • Run the ADC example
    • Run the VN-100 example (?)
      • HET/PWM
    • Test the reset buttons

EPS

• INA230 + TCA6424 drivers
  • Get access to Altium, see Load Switch Breakout Board System Introduction for general tests you can do
  • Assume 10 of these in total (e.g. 1 for EPS, 1 for Comms, 1 for OBC systems, etc.)
    • Can check EPS schematic on Altium
  • Important as it opens up way more avenues for telemetry
• MCP4562 Digital Potentiometer Driver
  • Test using MPPT breakout board. A PR was already put up for this, someone needs to review + test
• MPPT (blocked by INA230)
  • George made a draft PR for MPPT already - can reference. Not tested presumably.

Payload

• Add command to queue a picture to be taken, downlink instantly
  • The command for this, and the response must be unencrypted (no AES)
