Delft Hyperloop - Helios III

sponsored by goose

• ./app → main application source code
• ./gs → ground station frontend code
• ./gs/station → ground station backend code

Running

this project is built on rustc 1.79.0 (129f3b996 2024-06-10) and is needed for all components.

Main application

flashing & running the main application requires

• probe-rs,
• rustup target thumbv7em-none-eabihf
• a connected STM32H743ZIT6 device

cargo run will generate debug symbols and enable logging, cargo run --release will include a lot of compile-time optimisations (smaller & faster binary, slower compile time), DEFMT_LOG="off" cargo run --release disables logging and compiles for release.

Ground station

The ground station backend can no longer be run independently, and thus it needs a frontend.

There's 2 to pick from, a text-based user interface and a graphical user interface.

To run the graphical user interface run

cd ./gs/
npm i
npm run tauri dev

(obviously requires NPM as well)

To run the more lightweight TUI

cd ./gs/station/
cargo run --no-default-features --features tui

(only rust needed)

Maintaining

Main application

PANICKING IS NOT ALLOWED!! if you .unwrap() anywhere i will find you

Ground station

The ground station backend functionality entirely resides in

./gs/station/src/backend.rs

in the struct Backend.

To implement a frontend, all you need to do is Backend::new(), create listeners for the broadcast::channels, receive Messages and send Commands.
