From April 2018 to August 2018
Internship of my first year in masters degree in the laboratory IRSTEA TSCF unit. The mission was the following : Develop a test and configuration software for an Ultra Wide Band beacon. For the Baudet-Rob project, a robot is using this device to track and follow a person or another robot. The devices can compute distances. So with some of them, you can triangulate a position, but in the frames they exchange you can also send datas, like orders from a remote, or robot intern status datas.
My mission was to adapt the firmware and create a protocol of communication for the transmission of the datas(C). But also I implemented a C++ API allowing the configuration of the devices linked to a computer using USB or CAN protocol. A ROS node was also made and a Qt interface for a convenient and understandable fresh user configuration.
