Working off of:

https://uworbital.github.io/docs/comms/sending-commands-to-board/

1. File path for ground_station_cli.py changed in obc-firmware
2. Having fixed the path, trying to run python -m ground_station_cli gives the following error:

• Issue seems to be that interfaces needs to be built, but this isn’t mentioned in the docs rn.

  • Interfaces is built whenever any cmake build is used in the main repo

• Fix is to cd interfaces, mkdir build, then build GS

  • Doesn’t fix

  

  • This is the fix, but the interfaces cmake file had to be changed

1. Running

now gives access to the CLI!

1. send_command --command CMD_PING

• PORRST the board fixes it

Bugs:

• Command sending is very fragile. Closing one command cli after sending send_conn_request makes it so opening a new cli instance and sending a conn request fries it.
  • Add a note in the docs to use as few commands as possible when sending commands if it’s not working - and to PORRST the board (or flash again) and try again if it doesn’t work.
• Find out why send_conn_request can only be sent once successfully before needing to reset the board (even if a new CLI instance is used)
• We need to go through and consolidate our cmake builds a bit to make it more intuitive, remove unnecessary builds
