v4.0.8

Overview: Many tiny improvements and bug fixes over 4.0.7. Now, also usable offline. Migrated from astropy to skyfield. Removed local utility implementations in favor of the better tested tum-esm-utils. Improve reliability of Helios camera connection.


Details

Fix issues with PLC communication:

The underlying library (snap7) changed their internal error types from the custom Snap7Exception to the built-in RuntimeError. We had a logic built into Pyra to only report PLC errors if they persist for more than 10 minutes, but this was only considering any Snap7Exception.

  • Closes #151
  • Freeze the poetry dependencies to the one used in 4.0.7
  • Closes #157

Fix astronomy utilities:

The previously used Astronomy library (astropy) does not work offline. It also has a lot of side effects (weird errors from internal logging) and bad types annotations and documentation. So we switched to the Skyfield library (https://rhodesmill.org/skyfield/) and included the astronomical dataset to be downloaded directly in the repository (~ 16 MB, but would have to be downloaded anyway).


Helios Improvements:

We made the Helios implementation more resilient to camera issues - e.g. when changing the exposure or other settings frequently.


More use of tum-esm-utils:

We have merged utility functions of many of our projects into a utility library (https://github.com/tum-esm/utils). We removed some of the utility classes/functions from the Pyra codebase and use the better tested tum-esm-utils library.


Miscellaneous:

  • Removed the git commit SHA from emails since this is redundant now
  • Closes #156
