#Main Scripts

  • conversor.py -> Python script to create a KML spline from a CSV document. Please notice this CSV document has a structure of "time", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Altitude" for each column. GPS_ballon.csv is an exemple of a CSV document and "path.kml" is the KML file

  • xbee_balloon -> python script that creates a KML point readint from a Serial port and appends data to a CSV file.

  • xbee_car -> python script that creates a KML point reading from a Serial port.

#Calling scripts for unix-based systems

  • xbee_balloon_command -> it calls forever "xbee_balloon"

  • xbee_car_comand -> it calls forever "xbee_car"

  • xbee_csvtokml_command -> it calls forever "conversor.py"

Other PNG files and KML files are just an exemple that could be added to a Google Earth.

Please change boundrate and port from main scripts to your preferences
