Introduction

Code for a telemetry system used on a weather balloon for a high school engineering project. This project uses FRC971's 2015 code repository as an underlying backbone for the project's structure.

Building the code

The currently supported operating system for building the code is amd64 Debian Jessie. It is likely to work on any x86_64 GNU/Linux system, but that's not at all well-tested.

We use Bazel to build the code. Bazel has extensive docs and does a nice job with fast, correct increment rebuilds.

Steps to set up a computer to build the code: 0. Set up the required APT repositories: Download frc971.list and llvm.org.list and put them in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

1. Install the required packages:

apt-get install python libpython-dev bazel ruby clang-format-3.5 clang-3.6 gfortran libblas-dev liblapack-dev python-scipy python-matplotlib

2. Allow Bazel's sandboxing to work

Some useful Bazel commands:

• Build and test everything (on the host system):

bazel test //...
bazel build --cpu=raspi //...
