[PSAS] meeting tonight, including geometry/physics discussion

2011-03-01 Thread Jamey Sharp
First off: Like last week, we're meeting in FAB 155, not the CS lounge/fishbowl. We're going to look into reserving FAB 86-01 for future meetings, and we'll announce tonight if that worked out. Last week Ben and I chatted about taking an hour of the regular meetings to explore rocket physics and,

[PSAS] rocket science session summary

2011-03-02 Thread Jamey Sharp
I thought I'd try to summarize what we discussed in the session last night. Now I'm going to call it rocket science, just to annoy Dan, because physics wasn't broad enough. :-P But seriously, whatever we call it, apparently we're going to continue this experiment and take weekly meeting time to

[PSAS] optimal trajectory dynamics

2011-03-09 Thread Jamey Sharp
Nathan was asking this evening what we collectively know about computing an optimal orbital-insertion trajectory, and sharing giant 1960s papers on the subject that were written using typewriters. (Nathan, if those papers are available publicly, could you post links please?) So I started trying

[PSAS] simple three-axis Kalman filter

2011-06-08 Thread Jamey Sharp
Over the past few meetings, Chris and I have been working on a simple Python model of a Kalman filter. Last night, Chris got the model extended out to three-axis position, velocity, and acceleration, and I thought it was past time to get the code in a git repository. So:

[PSAS] Got SDR hardware? Re: GPS study group update

2014-08-18 Thread Jamey Sharp
On that note, if anyone has any software-defined radio hardware, it'd be great if you could bring it at 6 pm tomorrow so more people can play with SDR techniques. I'd like people to get hands-on experience at this stage. That includes the cheap RTL-SDR USB TV tuners, any model of Ettus Research's

[PSAS] Canceled: sensor fusion study group

2015-03-30 Thread Jamey Sharp
After three weeks of no attendance, I'm canceling the sensor fusion study group. If someone else wants to volunteer to lead it, I'd be happy to attend and contribute whatever I can. Jamey ___ psas-team mailing list psas-team@lists.psas.pdx.edu

[PSAS] volunteer needed: small software project

2017-09-15 Thread Jamey Sharp
Hey all! During the Oresat meeting today we discussed that we need a small piece of software that we'll use during development and debugging of the cubesat. Specifically, we need to be able to graph measurements in real time as they flow over the CAN bus in the satellite. You'll be perfect for
