An Object-Oriented Interface for Telemetry and Control of a Mars Rover

ITC/USA 2015 Conference Proceedings / The Fifty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2015 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NVAn application has been developed to remotely control a vehicle and display telemetry returned by the vehicle through a graphical user interface. The vehicle will compete in the University Rover Challenge hosted by the Mars Society. The software is responsible for asynchronously communicating to the remote system with a custom protocol over a wireless TCP/IP connection, handling user input from a team of human controllers, and processing data received from the rover and displaying it on the screen. A strong emphasis was put on keeping an object-oriented design throughout the project. It is built around the Model-View-ViewModel design pattern. The software was constructed using the C# and XAML languages with the Microsoft .NET framework.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
