This project is a webserver that is used to expose a REST API in the Raspberry PI to get commands from the client (mobile application). The Raspberry PI is supposed to be attached to a flight controller in a drone.

The server supports two kind of commands:

Using the GCS software (Ground Control Station) installed on the Rspberry PI, the webserver can trigger the command that forwards telemetry packets to a remote host (named the UAV-controller). If you don't have a GCS installed in your Raspberry PI, we recommand that you install MAVProxy, it's a widly used open-source GCS.

The drone can carry a wide-range of IoTs, the webserver expose an interface to trigger the process of collecting data from the IoTs on-board.

1. Download this project to your Raspberry PI by following one of these two methods: a. if you have Git installed on the Raspberry PI, you can clone this project

$ git clone git@github.com:stodi1/RaspServer.git

b. Download the project to your computer and copy the files to your Raspberry PI (for instance, using scp).

$ scp -r <PATH_TO_DOWNLOADED_PROJECT> <DIR_IN_THE_RASPBERRY>

2. Access your Raspberry PI (using SSH), change directory to the project folder and trigger the installation process with

$ ./install.sh

More information about the mobile application and the platform will be provided later.
