InfoCom Drone Project - Part 3 - Route Planning

Install required Python packages if not done already (you probably did this in one of the previous assignments):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-socketio
sudo apt install python3-engineio
sudo apt install python3-flask-socketio
sudo apt install python3-flask-cors

Install new Python package required for this assignment:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-geopy

Go to /webserver, start your Redis server (if it is not already running, which it probably is – test using redis-cli) and run the three flask servers:

1. Run server for writing data to the redis server

   export FLASK_APP=database.py
   export FLASK_DEBUG=1
   flask run --port=5001
   

2. Open a new terminal, go to /webserver, and run the route planner

   export FLASK_APP=route_planner.py
   export FLASK_DEBUG=1
   flask run --port=5002
   

3. Open a new terminal, go to /webserver, and run the website server

   export FLASK_APP=build.py
   export FLASK_DEBUG=1
   flask run
   

Open a web browser (e.g. Chromium) on your Raspberry Pi and enter the following URL. You should see a map of Lund as in the previous assignment. Make sure you see a red dot representing the drone at the LTH location.

http://localhost:5000

Note: Don't use python3 build.py, python3 route_planner.py, or python3 database.py to run the webservers, since this does not provide all the functionality requied by the application.
