Set-up and testing¶

Test Set up¶

In order to test the good behaviour of our program, we should be using the In-Circuit-Debugger ICD3 to debug the program while on the Development Board.
However, we never managed to make it work, so we had to resolve to an more simplist and less accurate way of testing the program.

We are reusing the LEDs set up in the [[Erasure codes for Cubesat missions:]] project, and asking the program to turn on the LEDS when certain conditions are met.

With that set up, we were able to determine that we were effectively determining a temperature which is converted to a 7-bit word.
Moreover we were able to ask the program a rough estimate of the temperature, which he gave us between 25 °C and 30°C.

Furthemore, we were able to test with an spectrum analyser the fact that we were sending informations through the RF transmitter.
