F′ Proves Flight Readiness Plan for Pleiades 5

[nateinaction]

With an April/May launch time frame we think the last time that we will be able to upload software to the Pleiades satellites will be in Feb/March. To hit this window fprime-proves needs to:

• Investigate if OTA updates are possible maybe using an RTOS like Zephr or FreeRTOS
• Ping the Hardware Watchdog GPIO Pin #27
• Get the radio working using Radiolib
• Setup Deployment Routine #28
• Get the CAN transceiver working for board-to-board communication with the battery board (Best for CalPoly/Alex)
• Get the SD card working so we can store mission data
• Get the I2C multiplexer (TCA9456) working so we can communicate with the sensors
  • Temp sensor first - I2C
  • Ambient light sensors - I2C
  • Send commands to the embedded motor drivers for magentorquers - I2C
  • IMU 6-deg freedom acceleromter/gyro - I2C
  • IMU 6-deg freedom magnetometer - I2C
• Add attitude control and determination algorithm (CalPoly is working on this)
• RV3028 Real Time Clock Component #16
  • We need to be able to set the time
  • We need to be able to read the time
  • We need to be able to set alarms that will toggle a GPIO pin
  • We need to be able to activate trickle charge

Hey Nate, finally just circling back to this now! This looks like a pretty good list of tasks to me, I will start breaking them out into their own issues.
