UvicFH2015

UVic Formula Hybrid Repository for 2015

###Requirements

1. Python is installed (Version 3.3.4 but any above is fine)
2. Arduino UNO with a CAN-BUS Shield
3. You need to install GPIO Interrupts on the raspberry pi

For Python 3:

sudo apt-get -y install python3-rpi.gpio

###Tkinter Notes

1. Tips on Performance

###Python Notes

1. If needed c functionality, here is a library ctypes
2. GPIO interrupts GPIOinterrupts
3. POLLING Or we should be using listeners
4. Python guideline for raise

###2016 Plan Of Attack For now keep existing GUI(Although not the prettiest it works) Get CAN rate on MABx good to not saturate the pi-can shield Getting pi-2-pi communication over serial(Unless better solution is present) Get pi sending relevant data over RF to ipad or external device, test latency from pi-2-pi + RF communications

###2016 Ideas Long Range Communications

• This requires multiple pi's due to heavy load on a single pi for both GUI and RF comm
