This project is a very basic ground control station (GCS) for autonomous UAVs. Currently, it can communicate via UDP only. It's built using only web-based technologies. Desktop builds are possible on all major operating systems thanks to Electron.

This app has only been tested on Ubuntu Linux so far. YMMV.

• Electron
• Leaflet
• Mithril
• jQuery
• jQuery Flight Indicators
• MAVLink
• Webpack
• CSS Grid

You must have Node and Yarn installed to run the development version of ElectroLift.

yarn install
yarn run build:watch

yarn start

You will also need a drone simulator. Go to the link here and follow the instructions. Return to these docs after you complete the step where you run vagrant up: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/setting-up-sitl-using-vagrant.html

In Tools/autotest/locations.txt, there is a list of location names along with their lat/lon coordinates. Feel free to add your own entries.

In the same directory, run: vagrant ssh -c "sim_vehicle.py -j 2 -L <name-of-location>"

You'll currently need another ground control station (GCS) to set missions up. Once you have a mission planned and written to the device, you can just click "Start Mission" on the interface to launch the (virtual) drone!
