Summary of Google Summer of Code with Project PANOPTES

Main goals for three month period of work:

• Inject the last principle of the SOLID principles - Dependency-Inversion-Principle into main class that consist of the small other classes. Observatory class is the main class which consists from mount, dome, scheduler and cameras. My task was to make the main class to be independent from other classes that he depends on.

What was done before me:

• Creation of camera class was moved outside of Observatory class, and proper method to add cameras into the main class was created.

What was done by me:

• Creation of mount class was moved outside of Observatory class, and proper method to add mount into the main class (add_mount) was created.

• Creation of scheduler class was moved outside of Observatory class, and proper method to add scheduler into the main class (add_scheduler) was created.

• Creation of dome class was moved outside of Observatory class, and proper method to add dome into the main class (add_dome) was created.

• For each modification of code, I had to change and add new unit-tests to make them work properly without errors because of the new modifications.

• Everysingle changes above were merged.

What was left to do:

• Mr. Wilfred (one of my mentors) doing a big pull request to move everything into docker. My changes also required to modify file called pocs_shell. However, this file can be tested using hardware which I didn’t have. Also, he already modified this file in his pull request which will move everything into docker.
