FSW/ — Flight Software Workshop

An F' (F Prime) flight software project used to teach hands-on FSW development. The current workshop centers on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, driven over I2C (BNO055-style 9-DOF IMU).

• IMUWorkshop is the component participants work on during the workshop — it drives a BNO055-style 9-DOF IMU over I2C (configuration/read sequencing), stores decoded sensor readings in a plain struct (tlmData), and gates which telemetry channels get published behind per-sensor enable_* ground commands.
• IMUWorkshopDeployment is the deployment that runs IMUWorkshop on real hardware (e.g. a Raspberry Pi with an I2C IMU attached) and exposes it to a ground data system (GDS) over TCP.

Getting started

1. Follow FSW/docs/setup-workshops.md to install prerequisites (Git, a compiler, Python 3.10+/venv) and clone this repository.
2. Follow FSW/docs/running-workshops.md to build IMUWorkshopDeployment, run it (locally or on a Pi), connect the GDS, and exercise the IMU commands/telemetry.
