These files set up the JSON-RPC system on the doodle radio to support RSSI queries from compatible versions of QGCS. QGCS will query the radio using JSON-RPC http requests with username doodle and password doodle. The radio will return a station dump which will be parsed and used to display RSSI information in the QGCS UI.
By default, the Doodle radios only allow JSON-RPC access using the root account. Since we do not wish to have to store the Doodle root account password within another application, this solution creates a doodle/doodle account with remote access.
To install, ensure that the Doodle radio is powered on, connected to a LAN and the ip address is known.
