Prerequisites

To be able to compile your solutions and execute the tests, you will need the following:

  • working gcc compiler
  • working ruby installation
  • rubygems: rake and bake-toolkit

Install the bake tool

see https://esrlabs.github.io/bake/

GPS on CAN

In this task you will need to receive Can-frames on the can-bus that contain the GPS location of the vehicle. The raw data has to be converted to arc-milliseconds

Beware that the system you are running your code on will not support floating point operations. Use only unsigned and signed integers! Still the precision of your calculations has to be +-100 milli-arc-seconds

Dynamic allocation is not supported on the system.

You will have to complete the GpsConverter.cpp (and .h).

Conversion between Arc-Degree and arc-milliseconds

1°2'5" == (1*3600+ 2*60 + 5)*1000

Conversion of raw values to Arc-Degree

value [degree] = 180/(2^31-1) * value[raw]

HINT 1

Try to use constants as much as possible, instead of computing stuff on the go.

HINT 2

In order to avoid losing decimals first, multiply with a large factor and then divide to get the result in ms.
