We are currently working very hard to write some sort of documentation the code has been released under the MIT Open Source license and under GIT version control system. If you think you might be interested in all or some parts of the code, schematics or Simulink models please contact us; but be aware that right now, the documentation is non-existent. Here are the requirements for each of the components:
Ground Station
Simulink Models
Schematics and Layout
Microchip dsPIC Software and Hardware
The complete repository is available via a GIT repository from : git://overtux.cse.ucsc.edu/malife/apcode.git
Ground Station
- Borland C++ Builder 6.0 (old version but very reliable. Yes, hard to find)
- RX Lib for C++ Builder Components (Free)
- Overbyte ICS UDP Components (Free)
- Abakus VCL for graphical components (Commercial)
- Tiny XML for interacting with KML files from Google Earth
Simulink Models
- Matlab 2007A or newer with Simulink, the Real Time Workshop, and the Embedded Coder
- dsPIC Blockset
Schematics and Layout
- Version 1 of the board is in Eagle 4.0
- Version 2 of the board in Orcad
Microchip dsPIC Software and Hardware
- C30 Compiler Student Edition (free)
- PicKit 2 Programmer and Debugger (or any other dsPIC programmer)
