AUV Fault Detection

Setting up the simulation

• Open VSCode
• Install the Dev Containers extension in VSCode
• Install Docker from here or through F1 > Dev Containers: Install Docker
• Open the AUV-Fault-Detection folder in VSCode. When prompted select "Reopen Container" popup or F1 > Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container
  • VSCode will create a Docker container with ROS installed, share your local AUV-Fault-Detection folder with the container, then connect to the container. This allows you to edit and run code inside the container as if it was your local computer.
• In the container, cd avl and bash setup.sh This should happen automatically now.
  • VSCode will ask for your CMAR credentials, then pull the necessary git repos and their dependencies
  • The avl command will also be added to bash
• Build the AVL code: catkin_make
• Activate the catkin workspace: source devel/setup.sh

Useful commands

• source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash: Makes ROS commands available in your shell
• source avl/devel/setup.bash: Allows ROS tools like roslaunch and rosrun to find your packages and nodes

Logs

• Logs are stored in /var/avl_logs/<timestamp>
• /var/avl_logs/current is symlinked to latest log, so cd /var/avl_logs/current to access latest log
• File > Add folder to Workspace > /var/avl_logs to add the log folder to the file tree

Running data collection

• See the top of data_collection_launcher.py to change trial length, when fault triggers, etc.
• Start ROS core in a new terminal window: roscore
• rosrun avl_fault_detection data_collection_launcher.py
• Stop ROS core: Ctrl+C in terminal window
• data_collection.log in avl_logs contains vehicle state data and fault labels in tabular form

Running the simulation

Syntax: avl start <package_name> <launch_file_name>

To start a full system simulation with the avl_fault_detection package:

• source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
• source /workspaces/AUV-Fault-Detection/avl/devel/setup.bash
• avl setup avl_690
• avl start avl_fault_detection full_system_simulation.launch

F1 > ROS: Show Status will show all current node configurations, topics, and publishers

Updating the Workspace

• Save any work, then delete everything under avl/
• Re-run setup.sh

Setting up Mission Control

To do

[X] Run setup.sh automatically [] Install Mission Control automatically [] Fix fluxbox toolbar font being white [X] Allow setup.sh to run multiple times [] setup.sh line endings
