Payload Flight Software for Argus-1

This repository contains the Flight Software (FSW) written for the Jetson Orin Nano (8GB) and its custom carrier board. Argus-1 is a technology demonstration mission focused on vision-based orbit determination.

Requirements

• spdlog - Logging library
• OpenCV - Computer vision library
• Eigen3 - Linear algebra Library
• Torch - Deep learning
• GTest - testing framework

Build instructions

Give permissions to both scripts

sudo chmod +x build.sh run.sh 

Setting up the Environment

To compile using CMake, follow these steps:

Set the LIBTORCH_PATH environment variable in your .bashrc:

export LIBTORCH_PATH=/path/to/libtorch/share/cmake/Torch/

In your terminal:

```bash
source ~/.bashrc
```

Build the project

./build.sh
./build/PAYLOAD [optional: <communication-interface: [UART, CLI]>]

or

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. && make
./PAYLOAD [optional: <communication-interface: [UART, CLI]>] // default to UART 

Configuration

The configuration file is located at config/config.toml. Update this file to modify system parameters.

Local interaction with the FSW

As a functional debugging tool, the Payload can be run and controlled locally through a named pipe (FIFO) given to the Payload and the command line interface. For this control mode, the command line interface must be run first:

./bin/CLI_CMD
./bin/PAYLOAD [optional: <communication-interface: [UART, CLI]>] // default to UART 

Command-based paradigm

The Payload communicates through its host machine via UART (transition from SPI in progress) with a set of predefined commands available at TODO (internal README).
