Project of four first grade MIPT DAFE/RSE students (for engineering practical work in the second semester) in Qt C++

Documentation

Project's documentation generated with Doxygen with convenient CSS theme.

In this project, we are developing an application that calculates the trajectory of a flying delivery robot that collects valuable cargo from control points: Targets. On its way, it may encounter high mountains that it cannot fly over: Hills; or elliptical territories that are impossible to visit due to climate conditions: TrappyCircles. Also, through some control points, the robot is simply unable to move, as the cargo may not be ready for transportation at that time, these are TrappyLines.

The robot's trajectory is calculated using several mathematical algorithms: [...]. The graphical interface for constructing the trajectory was created using Qt and QCustomPlot.

In the application, you can add objects using window forms, interact with the trajectory calculation plot using the mouse cursor, create and open files in .json format with a specific style for this application. Editing objects can also be done with cursors or using a special dynamic input field with tables, opened in a separate window mode or embedded in the main one.

We strongly recommend that you install our application using the instructions below and try it out!

Installation and configuring

On Windows 64 bit system

Install MSYS2 to any convenient folder as compiler setup

‍P.S. of course you can try install all the libs and packages used in repo manually, but our team got pain and tears trying to install Boost on MINGW in this way, so we recommend to install MSYS (besides, it is an excellent tool for compiling any other C++ and etc. projects)

Open MSYS2 MSYS console, copy the command below and paste it with Shift+Ins or ‘RBM and 'Paste’` to download all the packages used in our project

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake
pacman -U https://mirror.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator-13.0.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-clang

Install Git Bash to any convenient folder (if you haven't get it yet)
Open Git Bash and use command like cd C:/CodeFolder to go to the folder where you usually save the code
Clone our repo with including submodules to such folder:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/BPLA-Team/locus_no_pilotus

Open the MSYS bin folder in path like C:\YourPathToMsys\msys64\mingw64\bin than find and start qtcreator.exe
In folder with our project clone find **_CMakeLists.txt_** and open it with QtCreator
Set the compiler that allow CMake configuration in the kits list and click Configure Project
To use the full working version: Build (hammer button in the lower left corner) the project, and after ending process with error use **_Build > Run CMake_** in the top menu to reconfigure and fix error with including QCustomPlot

‍P.S. because of using QCustomPlot, we need to copy additional .lib file to build directory, and our script does this when activating the Run CMake command

Now you can use full working project with Run (green triangle button in the lower left corner)!

On Linux system

Coming soon...

‍Much respect and help for this installation method to George Sukhanov!

Used libs and sources

CMake: main project build system
Qt: main project library for full-working program
QCustomPlot: library for drawing all objects on same place with autoscaling (submodule)
IceCream-Cpp: library for simple code debugging (we really recommend to use it in C++ projects)
Doxygen: full documentation generation
Doxygen Awesome: convenient CSS theme for Doxygen HTML documentation (it is really awesome)
Flaticon: perfect icons source
GeoGebra: best platform for geometry calculations
