MAVLink Drone Monitoring System

Overview

This project provides a real-time MAVLink-based drone monitoring system using Flask and pymavlink. It establishes a connection with a MAVLink-enabled drone, listens for messages, and visualizes data such as message frequencies, detected systems, and requested data streams via a web interface.

Features

• MAVLink Connection: Automatically connects to a MAVLink system and listens for messages.
• Live Data Display: Displays detected MAVLink systems and components.
• Message Frequency Monitoring: Tracks expected vs. actual frequencies of MAVLink messages.
• REQUEST_DATA_STREAM Capturing: Logs data stream requests from the drone.
• Web Interface: Provides a real-time dashboard for monitoring.
• Reset Functionality: Allows resetting the collected MAVLink data.

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+
• pip
• MAVProxy or any MAVLink-compatible communication method

Dependencies

Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Modify the config.py file to set the correct drone connection string:

DRONE_CONNECTION = "udp:127.0.0.1:14550"  # Adjust as needed

Running the Application

Run the Flask server with:

python main.py

This will start a web server on http://localhost:5001/.

Web Interface

• /drone_stats: Displays real-time MAVLink message frequencies, detected systems, and data stream requests.
• /reset (POST): Resets stored MAVLink data.
