Tasks Completed: #
During the eighteenth week of my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project, I continued working on refactoring developing the UI elements and the CARLA playback features for the AGL-Demo-Control-Panel. Below, I provide detailed information about the tasks completed, documentation updates, and plans for the upcoming week.
# CARLA Playback in Demo Mode #
This week I implemented the playback of the recorded ‘can-messages.txt’ file, allowing the agl-demo-control-panel to playback the same CAN data on its UI elements.
This includes:
- Speed Gauge
- Engine RPM Gauge
- Coolant Temp Gauge
- Fuel level Gauge
- Indicator buttons
- and Drive modes
These signals have been mapped out of the carla client and translated into their CAN message format by the carla_to_CAN.py module.
I also implemented the file-playback-path and the can-interface options to the config.ini file to allow for default configurations to be specified during the build process.
# Gradient Effect and Progress Ticks on Gauge #
# Bug fixes: #
- Incorrect encoding of Indicator states in
carla_to_CAN.py. - (WIP): Garbage values displayed on Half-Gauge widgets when Demo playback is enabled.
# Code pushed for review: #
- 30275: Add New Custom Gauges and CARLA playback refactored
- 30324: AGL Demo Control Panel: Enable Networking and QtQuick
- 30327: (WIP) Update Carla Playback Mode
What I plan to do next: #
- Continue working on the new UI for the Demo Control Panel.
- Bug fixing and pushing code to Gerrit.
