Most
of the time we have to chance to play around with a GPS module and
somehow log its data, but no easy and quick way to visualize it. For me
the solution was to create a simple C++ class that generates a
GoogleEarth compatible KML file. This can be easily imported so that I
can visualize the path my robot has taken.
C++ debugging macro
Debugging is a must when coding, regardless of how big or complex a project is. And althought there are tons of debugging tools out there, most are overpowered for my needs or simply introduce unnecessary code even when in the release version.
Lightweight C++ logging class for Linux
Logging is not only a powerful debugging and maintenance tool, but also a basic security element. In this case I wanted to save telemetry data of a multirotor without sending it to my laptop. Thus I wrote a simple logger that stores everything on the on-board uSD card. Although it's not perfect, it has proven to work as expected and be quite lightweight.
