ppGCS

stands for Parrot Python Ground Control Software

ok ok guys it's not another sexyiest Free Flight Pro clone

to be clear it's the uglyiest GCS you have ever seen (if you are god of python, QT, gstreamer, and / or PySide2 you and your pull requests are more than welcome)

the objective is to be more easy plateform for seveal test purpose and first be able to control the drone on linux

it's intended to work on python3 variant

you need zeroconf pygame and pyside2

pip3 install zeroconf PySide2 pygame

OpenSSl

it looks QT dont like last openssl release you have to downgrade to at least 1.0.2 to get map support procedure is a bit tedious but trust me game is worth it!
