Open jiangh1 opened 10 years ago

Description: Telemetry is the transmission of the sensor data and commands between the microcontroller and the ground control station. Telemetry system can be used to change UAV mission during flight and keep track of the UAV position. Real-time flight information can be displayed on the off-board PC through a wireless telemetry system.

Dependencies: N/A

Fit Criterion: When UAV is power on, the off-board PC can visualize most of the relevant data in real-time from the telemetry system.

Action Items:

  1. Test the 3D Radio and Wifi telemetry system, which are for transfer telemetry data and sensor data (e.g., video, images, maps, etc.), we have in the lab. - 03/01/2014
  2. If the telemetry systems is not fit in our requirements, do research on other telemetry systems. - 03/16/2014

Current State (03/24):

  1. We are trying to make XBee wireless connect with PC and PC communication with XBee using PC terminal.
  2. Need to find someone create the user interface.
