Flypi

Flipy is a web-based user interface to interact with data that comes from Pi-in-the-sky lora-gateway project.

Installation

Clone this repository and access on it

git clone https://github.com/riqui99/flypi
cd flypi

Then, using pip package manager for Python, install all dependencies:

sudo pip install bottle
sudo pip install gevent-websocket
sudo pip install pymongo==3.5
// or
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

You need to install: sudo apt-get install python-dev.

For save data on database: sudo apt-get install mongodb-server.

Note: For performance, Flypi allows you to save the sessions of flights in MongoDB, but this is not a requirement. If you do not have MongoDB installed and running on the system, it is automatically detected and the sessions being stored on file system instead of database.

How to run this application

python server.py (Expected Pi-in-the-sky lora-gateway be running and receiving data)

If you want change some parameter, or you want run this software in simulation mode (without lora-gateway), you should call the server with -c argument and configure config.json file.

python server.py -c "config.json"

The config file is a json file (you can found it on the project root path) with the follow parameters:

• server port: (integer) The port where the server is running.
• mongo_host: (string) If you want to use MongoDB remotely, you can define the host using this parameter.
• mongo_port: (integer) Port for MongoDB connection.
• simulate: (boolean) Set value to true for use this software without lora-gateway or use with a simulated flight. Set to false for use with lora-gateway.

Some features

View position of balloon in a map.

View trajectory of balloon in a three-dimensional graph.

Save sessions with data of the flights and view usefull graphs.

Run the tests:

python test/tests.py

Todos

• Reconnection socket
• Add more statistics in session section
• Use all JS dependencies locally (leaflet, material icons, highcharts)
• Improve popups (now are using javascript native for confirmations - create session)
• Add navigation to follow the balloon on live with map.
• Share in social media (create a public area in another server to sync sessions amd make public flights)
• Store images on database
