Brent:
Wait for tutorial on AUV Linux (this Wed 4th @ 2pm)
March 26 is for integrating VCSServer w/ Linux. Brent is aware that we would like to have an "integrated" VCSServer with the T-REX port which is adequately tested.

Thom:

Coverity for static analysis of T-REX+EUROPA code base needed. However, Coverity is single project license. Need $2500 for additional project license. Should be institute wide not just project wide.

Will build T-REX under Debian this week and report back.

Frederic:

Testing modem for the Front following effort shows a bug on the T-REX side. Note that one can receive a msg. from modem within T-REX without sending it via Iridium. Effective way to test.
KDD paper is another focus of attention this week.

Hans:

Initialization problem on AL3A modem could be because of  handshaking. Needs to investigate.
Q: What needs to be done to get a 20+ hr mission using T-REX? Essentially T-REX is 'ready'. But to ensure that schedules mesh and we get maximum time in the water + data, important to start thinking of longer duration (and overnight) runs. Also need a way to abort T-REX over the Iridium if/when something goes wrong and vehicle is being tracked from shore. And need to figure out how to re-target the vehicle over the modem to go to a new waypoint so that one can send a waypoint from shore which is used to abort the T-REX plan and generate a waypoint to pick up the vehicle. The fundamental issue is how T-REX terminates.

  • Some progress towards this has been implemented by Frederic for Front following.
  • Do not have a clean way to wrap up a Volume Survey however. This would be something to target.

Front Following algorithm: Work with John R to make sure we're on the same 'page'.
