Southampton Sailing Robot test logs 2016-2018

These files contain recorded data from the Southampton Sailing Robot Team's boat, the <em>Black Python</em>.<br> The logs cover various test runs, and three WRSC competitions: 2016 (viana), 2017 (horten) and 2018 (calshot).<br> <br> Each test run generated several files:<br> <code>.bag</code> and <code>.bag.metadata</code>: Rosbag files, recordings of messages sent among parts of the control system, which was built in the ROS 1.x framework. ROS includes tools to inspect and replay these files. <code>params-dump-*.jsn</code>: JSON dumps of the parameters used to launch that run, including waypoint GPS coordinates and sensor calibration parameters, among other values. <code>gps-trace*.csv</code>: GPS coordinates of the boat during the run, in the format required by WRSC. The three columns are timestamp (`hhmmssdd`), latitude and longitude both converted to integers by multiplying decimal degrees by 1e7, i.e. shifting the decimal point 7 places to the right. All GPS coordinates use the WGS-84 reference. <code>gps-raw-nmea*</code>: Raw NMEA-0183 protocol data sent by the GPS receiver. This should be redundant with the CSV data so long as it was parsed correctly. <code>map-gps-trace*.html</code>: GPS traces plotted in interactive maps using Folium, overlaid on OpenStreetMap tiles. <code>index.html</code> contains a generated overview of the test runs performed, and the files associated with each.<br> <br> The source code used to create these files, including both the control system for the boat and scripts for processing the data is available in a git repository at:<br> https://github.com/Maritime-Robotics-Student-Society/sailing-robot<br> <br> Exactly what data is in the different runs varies as the hardware and software were evolving at the same time. We did not record which commit generated each file.
