CUInSpace Telemetry Server

License: MIT

This software is a command line tool for retrieving UART data via serial from the CUInSpace ground station board and parsing it into readable data which is served via websocket for the ground-station-ui live telemetry dashboard.

Quick Start

Before starting, ensure you have Python 3.11+ installed and the CP210x driver for the homemade ground-station board UART connection. This is not necessary if using the PICTail Daughter Board.

  • Download the latest release
  • Navigate to the project directory from the terminal
  • Run pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Run py main.py -h for a list of commands

Note that the ground station device should be connected before starting the telemetry server in order to receive an accurate list of available serial ports.

Further Reading

Please see the GitHub Wiki for further documentation on how to set up and run the telemetry server.
