Tasks Completed: #
# Updated Docker File #
This week I Updated the Dockerfile to support the PyQt6 version of the AGL Demo Control Panel.
29992: Update Dockerfile for PyQt6 Compatibility
- Update packages required to run PyQt6 apps in Debian base.
- Update set up script to compile resources.
- Use Python venv to resolve requirements to avoid native package conflicts.
# Replaced the Animated Toggle Button #
I also replaced the Animated Toggle button with a new checkbox like button to provide the On and Off states of the toggle controls for Settings Page & the IC Page (Demo Toggle)
# WIP: Using CARLA APIs to Write Out CAN files #
Last week, I created the carla_to_CAN.py script, which works in parallel with the manual_control.py or start_replaying.py scripts. It listens to the CARLA server, fetches the required ego vehicle data, and prints it to the console.
I referred to the existing CARLA Python API example scripts and the official documentation for the various APIs used in this script.
The data currently being pulled and reported to the console are:
- Vehicle Speed
- Throttle Data
- Left Indicator Status
- Right Indicator Status
- Gear Selection
This week I was able to convert the extracted data into equivalent CAN signals and push it into the local can0 interface.
Next week I will continue working on and writing it into a CAN-dump file along with its timestamp for playback purposes.
This CAN dump file will be used by the AGL Demo Control Panel to feed data into the CAN interface using python-can.
For converting the required data into CAN Frames, I’m using the agl-vcar.dbc file as a reference.
Next Week Tasks: #
- Continue work on file playback using CARLA.
- Push changes made to Animated Toggle button on Gerrit.
- Add new signals to fetch tyre pressure.
