Hey all! I'm ready to add a new screen to our app. This is likely a long term feature
Remember -- all displays are technically windows added to a window stack -- the code for each type of window is in the Views.py file! Remember to check out the tutorials linked in the Lab Materials if you need to see some less complicated examples of PyQt5 windows!
This screen is going to be the startup screen once a user logs in. After a certain amount of time or signal from the rocket (we'll work on this later) we can switch to the raw text view or other future data gathering views. As the rocket powers on, it sends messages confirming which sensors initialized correctly or are working properly! This view will just be a display with an Icon for each sensor and maybe we can color each icon green or red for working or not working? Or some other indicator?
We'll need an icon or label for each of the following sensors:
- GPS
- IMU/Accelerometer
- Thermometer
- Gyroscope
GPS sensor may have multiple setup stages -- powered on, satellite lock, number of satellites, etc. For now, we can make it just be on or off.
It's likely we'll need to use the RocketSimulator.py file to test the interactivity of the display. I'll take care of updating this file once I figure out how we should send the data to the ground from the rocket (we can discuss this in lab on thursday!)
