USV Dashboard — v1.0.0

IMU Navigation Module — Ground Control Station
Qt 6.7 · OpenGL 3.3 · C++20 · Windows 64-bit

Overview

First production release of the USV Ground Control Station dashboard. Provides real-time 3D orientation visualization, live IMU telemetry display, sensor matrix readout, calibration control, and CSV data logging over a serial connection to an ESP32-based IMU module.

Features

3D Vessel Visualization

  • Real-time OpenGL vessel model rendered via QQuickFramebufferObject with full roll, pitch, and yaw response
  • Boat-shaped hull geometry with pointed bow, flat transom stern, and cabin superstructure
  • Red bow arrow on deck indicating the +X (forward) direction
  • Third-person stern camera — user always sees the vessel from behind with the bow pointing away
  • XYZ axis indicator in the bottom-left corner of the viewport (X=red, Y=blue, Z=green), rotating with the vessel body frame
  • Dark grid floor and cube boundary environment

IMU Telemetry

  • Live roll, pitch, and yaw readout in degrees
  • Full 9-axis sensor matrix: accelerometer (m/s²), gyroscope (rad/s), magnetometer (µT)
  • Serial telemetry pipeline from ESP32 at 115200 baud
  • Auto-detection and periodic scanning of available COM ports

Calibration System

  • GYR — Gyroscope calibration with live progress bar
  • MAG — Magnetometer calibration with rotation guidance
  • BOW — Heading reference calibration: captures current IMU orientation as the zero reference; all subsequent visualization is computed relative to this baseline. Resets the 3D vessel to default orientation instantly on click, with the offset saved for the session

Logging

  • CSV telemetry logging with REC/STOP control
  • Event log with timestamped system messages
  • System events panel for firmware-level messages

Deployment

  • Fully self-contained Windows 64-bit build via windeployqt
  • No Qt installation required on target machine
  • OpenGL software fallback (opengl32sw.dll) for machines without a capable GPU driver

Technical Notes

  • QQuickStyle::setStyle("Basic") enforced at startup — eliminates native Windows style conflicts with custom QML background and contentItem overrides
  • QQuickWindow::setGraphicsApi(QSGRendererInterface::OpenGL) enforced before QApplication construction — required for QOpenGLFunctions-based renderer to activate on Qt 6 Windows builds
  • MinGW glu.h include guard (#ifdef _WIN32 / #include <windows.h>) prevents APIENTRY/CALLBACK macro resolution failures on MinGW 11.2
  • FBO vertical flip compensation applied to axis indicator viewport position and Z-axis draw direction

Known Limitations

  • BOW calibration offset is stored in-session only — not persisted across restarts
  • Bow offset uses per-axis subtraction rather than full quaternion composition; negligible error when calibrating on a level surface
  • Serial port selection is manual — no auto-connect to a known device VID/PID

Build

cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
mingw32-make -j8
windeployqt --qmldir ..\qml deploy\app.exe
xcopy /E /I Dashboard deploy\Dashboard

Toolchain: Qt 6.7.3 · MinGW 11.2 · CMake 3.22 · Windows 10/11 x64
