Quick Command Tab

[richarthurs]

This tab will have several buttons for commonly used commands.

Commands to add: OBC command - Label

• wd reset - OBC Hard Reset
• wd f_reset - OBC Reset and Erase
• get epoch - Get Epoch
• Ack - Acknowledge

1. Add a new tab to the UI using the instructions in the wiki: https://github.com/SFUSatClub/houston/wiki/Adding-a-Tab
2. To the tab, add some buttons that when pressed, will print something to the terminal (as a quick check that it's working).
3. Once that works, you can send data out the UART by passing a handle to serial_TxQ to the initialize() function of your tab's class. The serial transmit queue is a Deque, so refer to the Python docs for how to add items to it. Only a string representation of the actual command is needed, so pass 'get epoch' to the queue when the button is pressed.

UARTTab.py has an example of how to use a button.
