This is Devlog #1 of the Rover Autopilot Software… Touchdown confirmed! The test rover has landed successfully in Duna (Mars in KSP) and I already wrote the main control loop for the rover. It still needs a little bit of polishing, but I will be testing the code and adding more functions. Planned functions are the following: rotating certain wheels, and setting them to reverse to activate 360-degree turns; slope-awareness; robotic arm extension, retraction, and sample collection; and automatic data transmission (antennas are power-hungry). The test rover is a (state-of-the-art) replica of Curiosity. I’ll leave some pictures below:
