Hi All!

Check out the new video on Skysense Planner - An Open-source Web Mission Planner for MAVLink Drones, including ADS-B aircraft tracking and Geofence management: https://vimeo.com/180557422

Get early access to demos, code and samples at http://www.skysense.co/planner-launch

We're looking for contributors and passionate testers. Happy to discuss and share my thoughts on the next steps in the development!

    Me neither :) It's a single-application-oriented cross-platform virtual machine. I played with it earlier Today and seems pretty easy.. will keep you posted :)

    Really interested to see how it all works. I've never used Docker, but I think that providing images will be an awesome step for people interested in trying it.

     Hi Francisco, good point.

    Keep in mind that Skysense Planner is a web application that requires several server components, including a web server (nginx).

    We can provide Docker images, this should make things super easy even for regular users :)

    @Michele: I hope that installation is configurable. I'm interested in trying Skysense Planner but I don't need ROS and Gazebo in my PC :)

    We're working on the installation process: In less than 30 minutes You'll be able to access a simulated quadcopter from Skysense Planner. The installation includes ROS, Arducopter and Gazebo. This is probably the fastest way on Earth to install all these complementary packages in an automated fashion! I'm sure that other Open-Source projects will benefit greatly from this.

    Update: We have more thank 100 subscribers on skysense.co/planner-launch, and counting :) Happy to see that there's great interest in this, we put so much work in it :)

    Hi Mikhail,

    Skysense Planner’s technology stack is based on Open-Source projects:

    • Ardupilot: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, able to control autonomous multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, traditional helicopters, ground rovers and antenna trackers.
    • Gazebo: Simulator offering the ability to accurately and efficiently simulate populations of robots in complex indoor and outdoor environments.
    • MAVLink: MAVLink Micro Air Vehicle Communication Protocol.
    • MAVROS: MAVLink extendable communication node for ROS with proxy for Ground Control Station.
    • ROS: Robot Operating System, a collection of software libraries and tools developers can use to assist in robot application development.
    • Robot Web Tools: Integration between ROS and Web applications using Javascript and HTML5.
    • NASA Web World Wind: 3D virtual globe API for HTML5 and JavaScript.
    • Dump1090: ADS-B radar receiver (Mode S decoder) specifically designed for RTLSDR devices.

    Cheers

    Michele

    That's nice! Could you please tell us more about the project?

    I can see the World Wind logo, what other technologies do you use?
