The CompInterface represents the communication interface to the sensors and actuators. It has a boolean, which knows if a simulation or real flight is running and gives the ability to get notified about a new tick.

Since the Arduino supports C++, most custom routines are written in it. This gives the ability to use classes for example. Note also that Arduino.h is an Arduino library for using Arduino methods in C++ code.

CompInterface.cpp

#include "Arduino.h"
#include "CompInterface.h"
boolean simulation;
HardwareConnector connector;
CompInterface::CompInterface() {
  simulation = false;
}
void CompInterface::resetTick() { 
  //TODO: Implement some code 
}
void CompInterface::simulate(boolean active) {
  simulation = active;
}

This file is just the implementation of the CompInterface.h. Note that Arduino.h is an Arduino library for using Arduino methods in C++ code.

Connector.h

#include "Arduino.h"

  simulation = false;

  //TODO: Implement somemore code 
}

Connector.h creates an abstract class which cannot be instanced but forces all inheriting classes to implement the virtual methods equaling 0.

Heirs will be the HardwareConnector, which
