flypi's Introduction

Flypi

Flipy is a web-based user interface to interact with data that comes from Pi-in-the-sky lora-gateway project.

Installation

Clone this repository and access on it

git clone https://github.com/riqui99/flypi
cd flypi

Then, using pip package manager for Python, install all dependencies:

sudo pip install bottle
sudo pip install gevent-websocket
sudo pip install pymongo==3.5
// or
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

You need to install: sudo apt-get install python-dev.

For save data on database: sudo apt-get install mongodb-server.

Note: For performance, Flypi allows you to save the sessions of flights in MongoDB, but this is not a requirement. If you do not have MongoDB installed and running on the system, it is automatically detected and the sessions being stored on file system instead of database.

How to run this application

python server.py (Expected Pi-in-the-sky lora-gateway be running and receiving data)

If you want change some parameter, or you want run this software in simulation mode (without lora-gateway), you should call the server with -c argument and configure config.json file.

python server.py -c "config.json"

The config file is a json file (you can found it on the project root path) with the follow parameters:

server port: (integer) The port where the server is running.
mongo_host: (string) If you want to use MongoDB remotely, you can define the host using this parameter.
mongo_port: (integer) Port for MongoDB connection.
simulate: (boolean) Set value to true for use this software without lora-gateway or use with a simulated flight. Set to false for use with lora-gateway.

Some features

View position of balloon in a map.

View trajectory of balloon in a three-dimensional graph.

Save sessions with data of the flights and view usefull graphs.

Run the tests:

python test/tests.py

Todos

Reconnection socket
Add more statistics in session section
Use all JS dependencies locally (leaflet, material icons, highcharts)
Improve popups (now are using javascript native for confirmations - create session)
Add navigation to follow the balloon on live with map.
Share in social media (create a public area in another server to sync sessions amd make public flights)
Store images on database
Create video - as a gif - with all images of the flight
Write Tests
Add Night Mode

flypi's Issues

Refactor: move default file session to protected folder

Now the users can create a new session with the same name of default session file: This is a potentially bug.

Suggestion: move the default file to another folder. This change would allow the user to create a file with the same name without causing an error

Functionality: improve visualization of session graph

Will be nice if we resize the sessions graph for use the complete wide of website.

Functionality: think about how we remind the user that he can create sessions.

Some ideas to discuss:

Auto start recording session
Show some kind of popup
...

Functionality: add some way to recover session info from default session file

If user forget create session, will be great if we provide some method to recover the session data from default session file

Timestamp does not work in sessions

The timestamp does not always work correctly. At the moment when it failed, the operating system was on time (checked by executing the command date in the terminal).

I tried to reproduce this error on two different devices, but seems working fine.

I'm opening this issue to leave a record.

Application throws an error if `Unknown Session.txt` doesn't exist

Flypi software throws an error if sessions/Unknown Session.txt doesn't exist.

For prevent this error, I have temporarily added that file to the repository and added this line on sessions/.gitignore file: !Unknown Session.txt. This changes prevent the error on first boot of the applicattion.

The final solution will be add some code for create this expected file on file system if doesn't exist and then remove !Unknown Session.txt line from file sessions/.gitignore. Remember delete sessions/Unknown Session.txt file after solve this issue.

Functionality: delete all sessions

Add functionality to be able to delete all sessions at once.

add tooltips in main page icons

Autodetect lora

When starts server try to autodetect gateway, and if cannot connect, show alert in web

Sockets failing on disconect client

Functionality: log in terminal startup message

When the application is starting begin to check if MongoDB service is running. This may take some several seconds.

Will be interesting log in terminal a message like "The application is starting, please wait..."
