Ground Station Phase I Over




Phase I of the Ground Station has been completed.The Java Code has gone well over a 1000 lines(we we have a target of 7001-to beat the West Florida Team who used 7000 lines),but thankfully each and every line of the code has been documented thanks to Akshay and Gautam .During this phase following work has been completed:
1.Creation of Uplink:
New flight parameters may be added while the UAV is flying,via communication to the SBC.
Data log of the same has been created.Uplink has been successfully tested locally via serial communication between 2 pc's.

2.Creation of Downlink
Instantaneous flight parameters will be received from the SBC.This sub module like the Uplink has been tested.

3.Current UAV location
An image has been deployed in the same frame as other sub modules and drawing has been done.Here in the image ovals show the waypoints and the rectangle current uav position.

With the local testing done,its time for optimizations and implementation of the Horizon.
Also work on RA's end i.e. a GUI to show his camera images must also get started this Tuesday or Wednesday.
Awaiting comments and suggestions regarding the GUI design regarding choice of colors.
