Compiles, but doesn't run. Left to do: Fix serial output Verify GPS Verify ADC + HV settings Swap accelerometer library Sort out timers (software for now) Confirm serial output format.

# CosmicPi V1.5 Arduino DUE software
|
|
|
|
This is the Arduino DUE software running on the CosmicPi V1.5.
|
|
This software is designed to work in a plug and play fashion, no interaction is required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* Set up the detector with default values
|
|
* Send events from the detector via serial
|
|
* Send data from all sensors on the board via serial
|
|
* Configure the on board GPS and pipe it's data to serial
|
|
|
|
### Meaning of the LEDs
|
|
* Lower LED (green): Power and GPS
|
|
* Solid: Power, but no GPS lock
|
|
* Blinking: Power and GPS lock
|
|
* Upper LED (red): Event
|
|
* Flash: An Event has been registered
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ToDo before release
|
|
* The timer needs a rework, its current implementation is imprecise
|
|
* The detector should be able to calibrate it's parameters automatically
|
|
* High voltage
|
|
* Thresholds
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
For regular users of the CosmicPi V1.5 this should be taken care of automatically by the software on the RaspberryPi.
|
|
|
|
For everybody interested in looking into developing this oneself:
|
|
1. Download the most recent Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software
|
|
2. Install the SAM core: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Cores
|
|
3. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/CosmicPi/cosmicpi-arduino_V1.5.git`
|
|
(note you can also download the .zip file from the menu above to the right, expand and remember to re-name the directory so cosmpicpi-arduino_v1.5 otherwise Arduino will give you errors)
|
|
4. Open the file `cosmicpi-arduino_V1.5.ino` with the Arduino IDE
|
|
5. Connect your CosmicPi to your computer via the USB **Programming** port
|
|
6. Select the newly appearing port in the Arduino IDE (Tools -> Port)
|
|
7. Compile and upload the firmware (Sketch -> Upload)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
As soon as the CosmicPi is connected you can open the software of your choice for monitoring serial data. Open the Arduinos serial port with a baudrate of 19200.
|
|
This firmware is designed to be a plug and play firmware.
|
|
It will only send data. It will not accept inputs. What data is sent is defined [here](https://github.com/CosmicPi/cosmicpi-rpi_V1.5/blob/master/documentation/CosmicPi_V15_serial_comm.txt).
