Week three of the GSoC 2015 BeagleSat project, a future CubeSat development platform.

Worked on:

• Video is up! –> https://youtu.be/ojDqtxv9oGY
• Website just about done. –> http://nvisnjic.com/beaglesat
• Got both sensors working and polling data into files (testing only)
• Started with Octave code for parameter estimator

Issues:

• Soon to begin testing data in Octave. A possible issue is that the data should come from rotating the sensor around a stable axis, which would require building an apparatus to hold the sensors while rotating in a stable orbit. If it turns out to be a blocker, I’ll look into 3D printing such a device and rigging it to the BeagleBone
• Last weeks ML library issue should be a non issue, I’ll use a matrix computation library when porting the code to C++, it should suffice

To be worked on:

• Currently using SPIDEV for the data, transfer to drivers later in the project
• More Octave stuff in the coming week
• Hackaday.io page soon
