Thrusters firing in wrong direction

JustBenj opened this issue · 1 comments

  1. Verify the sign and magnitude of the slopes in thrusters.yml
  2. Update pwm_controller.cpp to include the intercepts for those slopes. This will get us outside the thrust deadband.
  3. Confirm this works in the test tub before merging a fix.

Thrusters have been recalibrate with the copro. The thrusters were firing in the wrong direction because the vehicle experiences a force in the opposite direction as the thrust - the exact sign convention used for the thrusters was initially unclear. This has now been addressed and taken care of in the thruster controller before it publishes the command/thrust message.
