PAYLOAD - Norco College Rocketry

This is the code for the payload section by Norco College Rocketry.
There is a pi zero in the nosecone acting as a wireless access point for the three raspberry pi boards below in payload proper. There is also an arduino on the ground connected to a radio transceiver.

Getting Started

The repository is broken down by the python code (.py files) in the code directory.
There are libraries and tutorials required to set up each pi, located below, along with which sensors are being utilized.

Raspberry Pi Zero

This one is a little more involved.

MQTT

This is how our server/client communicate.

sudo apt-get install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients
sudo systemctl enable mosquitto
sudo systemctl status mosquitto
sudo pip install paho-mqtt

You can test if it is working locally with there 2 in 2 different terminals:

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "test/message"
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t "test/message" -m "Hello, world"

Here are the tutorials I used:
https://tutorials-raspberrypi.com/raspberry-pi-mqtt-broker-client-wireless-communication/
https://appcodelabs.com/introduction-to-iot-build-an-mqtt-server-using-raspberry-pi

Here is a good reference https://pypi.org/project/paho-mqtt/

Arduino

Combined with an RFM96W, our Arudino acts as a remote interface to our Raspberry Pis abord the rocket. Code for the Arduino can be found in ShiroRiri/rfm96w-repl
