GTK+ based GCS

Overview

Ground Control Station is a GUI based on GTK+, the platform is a quadrotor developed several GTK+ widgets capable of display telemetry data. These widgets are made to look like to real flight instruments in order to allow easy feedbacks for the user/pilot.

Features:

-Input Device 3D connexion 6Dof Mouse form manual navigation
-Automatic mode GoTo (coordinate selected on map click)
-Comunication Socket streaming UDP
-GUI Compatible for any Linux machine with GTK+ (Debian Ubuntu ...)
-HUD with Artificial Horizon
-Incorporate GPS map show
-Suppoert mjpeg streaming for augmented reality HUD
-Telemetry control
-Hhow inertial data
-Compatible UAV client FoxG20

groundstation

The is the first version of the ground control station. In this version, the GUI is devided into 5 tabs. The first one showing the telemtry widgets needed. The second tab is quite the same as gpsd_viewer. The third tab provide an easy show UAV data, the fourth tab show the motor and battery status, and the final tab provide a set the comunication.

Hi guys,

yes,Acquiring images from a webcam on board autopilot(fox board g20 with arm9 cpu 400mhz http://www.acmesystems.it/foxg20/doku.php ),are sent via UDP,and finally appear in augmented reality in the UHD.

is not yet completed but soon I post everything on a quadcopter,I miss the place the code of the augmented stabilization sistem.

moreover, using a joystick as mouse 3d,

http://www.3dconnexion.com/

to manually control the UAV

to not use google maps, but instead osm-gps-map

when I tested and validated all code will insert new content and functionality.

seeking collaborators to help me, it's really a lot of work ...

p.s.(for now there is only the linux version.There is a small file to execute instructions in the package)

There is a similar groundstation for windows being developed for the ArduPiratesNG:

Wow looks good. The only simple improvement I can think of is replacing the word 'Battery' on the dial with a good old battery symbol.

amazing! seems to be very usefull and user friendly!

could u explain how toinstall it in arch or ubuntu?

is ther any way to have embembed the live video from the aircraft?

it would be nice to have a 3d model in a 3d map ,is there any way to integrate it to the google earth api?

It looks great. Does it run on MacOS?

Wow! Sleek! Amazing work Federico. This is beautiful. I wish something like that existed for the Windows environment. Judging by the first screen shot, am I correct in saying that the HUD view can overlay itself on the video feed from the aircraft? If that is the case, it's amazing. Makes me want to migrate over to linux for the GCS.
