EW309 Guided Design Experience turret simulation code for Spring 2020 Coronavirus shutdown.

EW309 Turret Simulation for Spring 2020 Coronavirus shutdown

L Devries, D Evangelista, M Kutzer, and T Severson

This material is for simulating the autoturret used in EW309 at the US Naval Academy, since during a coronavirus shutdown the midshipmen will not have access to the turret rigs. The code includes simulations of ballistics; camera inputs from the turret for student machine vision code use; and an integrated simulation code for testing what would have been final system integration.

Github notes

For faculty editing the files, to avoid conflcts, it's best to work on a specific item or module (or even us a separate branch). After you are happy with your revisions, add them, then commit, then push changes:

git add my-changed-file.m
git commit -m "I changed my-changed-file.m add a spinning turret using hgtransform"
git push

If using Windows git GUI tools, do XYZ.

For others, including midshipmen cloning the files:

git clone https://github.com/usna-ew309/corona.git

If using Windows git GUI tools, do XYZ.

To pull the most recent version:

git pull

Dependencies and prerequisties

To use these routines, your Matlab will need the following somewhere in its PATH:

• [https://github.com/kutzer/PlottingToolbox ]
  • simulateImage.m (needs to be updated to replace print & imread with getframe)
  • plotCameraFOV.m
• [https://github.com/kutzer/WRC_MATLABCameraSupport ]
  • drawDFKCam.m (we should make a drawPicoICubieCam)
