Github

I use Github for version control.

  • Here is a good link for how to submit an existing project to a Github repository.
  • Here is a link to a markdown cheatsheet. That is the language used for the README files and most of the Github documentation.
  • Github Cheat Sheet
  • Github’s Help site
  • Projects with great Wikis
  • Intro YouTube videos

Question: How do we ensure the project doesn’t get out of control with to many branches?

The solution lies in having the discipline to merge and delete branches as soon as a new feature is implemented completely. My suggestion is if you have taken the project a different route that the master branch is intended to go, then fork the repository and create a new repository for that new direction.
That way your repositories are clean and simple.

Software Architecture

Real-Time Software Architecture: This stackoverflow post is interesting.

I believe Publish/Subscriber would work best for us.

A middleware standard that uses the publish/subscriber method is the Data Distribution Service (DDS). It would likely do what I need.

Other Documentation and Links

  • Interprocess Communications
  • Learn about sending messages using a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) connection.

Command Line

Command Prompt

Here are the basics of command prompt.

Matlab From the Command Line

Here is an post about calling from the command line a MATLAB function that takes parameters.

Writing Batch Files

Batch file programming can make things much faster when used right. I have all my invoices auto-generated via one batch file. I click it and BAM done.

Python

Other Information

Here are two stack overflow post about using python to parse strings and split strings.

MATLAB

MATLAB TCP IP Socket

Here is a great page from MATLAB’s documentation that will explain how to write/read to/from a TCP socket from MATLAB’s side.

This code uses a bigEndian byte order.

It sends the messages via binary files using MATLAB’s fwrite method.

Things To Learn

This list is made of what I need to look into. These skills would be helpful.

  • D3 is a data visualization framework.
  • Electron is a javascript framework for making desktop applications.
  • ActiveMQ is a messaging and integration pattern for apache.
  • Interprocess Communication.
  • Learn Negociating!
  • Learn Machine Learning because it is where everything is going.
  • Learn and use Agile and the systems engineering V in my projects.
  • Learn python!
  • Build a hardware model in Cadence and link it to the software in Matlab.
  • Build the smallest full stack desktop app that will help me build tools for any need.
