Overview
General structure The general structure of how the control system is made, tested, and deployed works like this: The control system is made using Simulink, using mostly the base functionality to calculate the needed values for different parts of control. Once ...
Automatic control
Overview In general, the job of the control system is to turn high level instructions from the software system, and turn them into instructions for the hardware. This is done by having a positions in 3d space (x, y z), a final gripper angle (respective to the ...
Structure of the project
Architecture & Frontend Patterns (Midas) The RFID Tracker (codename Midas) follows a traditional Django structure but uses a “Single File Component” philosophy for its views. Project Organization The project is split into the core configuration and the functio...

Kinematics
Defining terms To do kinematics on the robotic arm, it first needs to be modelled in a way to do calculations on the different joint angles and positions. This is done by using 4x4 matrix notation to represent the different joints. The different points and ang...
Simulation
Simulink Overview The main simulation used for testing the control system of the robotic arm is made with Simulink, using the different parts of the Simscape suite to simulate the robotic arm. The simulation works by using a main control block that sends inst...
Display - ILI9341 Library
Purpose The ili9341 library provides the low-level and mid-level drawing interface for the ILI9341-based display used on the debugging board. Its role is to hide the raw command sequence and SPI transaction details of the display controller behind a set of fun...

Starting with Protobufs
What are protobufs? Protocol Buffers (protobufs) are a way to define structured messages in .proto files. The point is simple: define the message format once, generate code for your language, and now everyone agrees what the bytes mean (without inventing a new...
Menu Driver - Overview
Purpose The menu driver is a page-based UI framework for an embedded display (ILI9341). It defines: how UI is structured into pageshow state is stored per pagehow navigation workshow rendering is organized Architecture Position [ Application Logic ] ↓...

Menu Driver - Core Data Structures
Page State Types A page state is: The persistent data container that represents everything a UI page needs to function between frames. Not just data. It’s: memory of what the user didmemory of what was renderedmemory of external data (diagnostics, etc.) List P...
