This application plots the live path of a rover fitted GPS tracker through Arduino on a GMaps API. Developed so that we can ensure the rover is following a certain trajectory in autonomous navigation task at IRC. The following are the characterstics of this project:
- Server-Client Architecture
- Arduino scripts (in C++) to send properly formatted location coordinates of the rover
- WebSocket to connect to Arduino (written in Python) and fetch current latitude and longitude of rover which also continuosly listens for connections
- Client side webapp which connects to a ip and initiates websocket asking for live location and plots it in real time. Note: API key is outdated now. The following caveats have to be followed:
- Rover should have a static IP address
- Special points are set of way points through which the rover has to traverse
How to run the application
- Upload the Arduino scripts inside
Arduino_GPS_codeto the Arduino Board - Run
websocket-trial.pyon the on-board computer
python3 websocket-trial.py
- Open
index.htmlon your client computer and enter the required information
The following is an image of the application, the rover is in storage and there is no way t obtain a working screenshot now, meanwhile please make do with a connectionless front-end:
