L.U.N.A.R

I fixed the error, turns out it wasn’t anything much.

Added:

• Graphs that show Altitude Temperature and Velocity

Struggles:

• Getting the Port to communicate the data to Python

Next:

• When the LoRa Radio Parts Arrive I’ll build communication from the satellite to the Ground Control
• Make the graphs smoother (Right now each second is delayed)

The parts came in today and I tried to connect it from an Arduino script to a Python Script. It was hard and I failed in the end but I’ll fix it tomorrow.

Added:

• First hardware prototype with an ESP32-WROOM and BMP280.
• Built a python script to draw out graphs with time, velocity, altitude, and temperature.

Struggles:

• Logic was very hard to figure out (AI Help)
• The plotting library (matplotlib) was hard to configure and couldn’t get it to work in the end.

Next:

• Going to build a Ground Control station and code another ESP32 to do all the things a Ground Control would do
• When the LoRa radio arrives I’ll tune it and add it to the prototype

This is the first stage of my Satellite Probe. This project is going to take data from the environment and display it on a real Ground Control Panel.

Today was surprisingly simple and easy due to the already existing libraries for the LoRa, ESP, and BMP.

Accomplished:

• Wrote down all the logic I’ll need for the code in the future
• Initialized all the electronics parts that I’ll need and wrote code to gather and send data

Struggles:

• Not much just a lot of syntax errors

What Next:

• Parts will arrive soon (hopefully tomorrow)
  • This means soldering when needed and building a prototype to see if everything works
• Building Ground Control
