Developed a hopper subsystem simulation for the SciBorgs/Reefscape-2025 repository, enabling hardware-free development and validation workflows. The work centered on implementing realistic hopper dynamics using Java, with DCMotorSim and LinearSystemId to accurately model system behavior. New configuration constants were introduced to facilitate parameter exploration and control tuning, supporting more robust and flexible simulation scenarios. A deterministic beambreak sensor, currently hardcoded for repeatable testing, was included to ensure stable results during early development. This foundational simulation established a core baseline for future enhancements, laying the groundwork for more advanced sensor modeling and comprehensive subsystem testing without physical hardware dependencies.
January 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering value through hardware-free testing readiness and robust simulation for the hopper subsystem in Reefscape-2025. Implemented a Hopper Subsystem Simulation to enable development and validation without physical hardware, leveraging DCMotorSim and LinearSystemId. Added new configuration constants to support parameter exploration and more realistic control tuning. The simulation includes a beambreak sensor that is currently hardcoded to return true to ensure deterministic, repeatable tests during this iteration. No major bugs reported in this period. Core baseline committed as 80e56c49a3775cb0299ce5ac82403ffa362107be (commit message: sim).
