The MassMileage Telemetry System
This is the part two of my blog post from last semester: https://www.umassamherstm5.org/blog/ardupilota-powerful-open-sourced-autopilot-software?rq=ardupilot
Start of this semester, we were able to connect Mission Planner and Ardupilot through UDP. We were stuck on this last semester primarily because we were more familiar with Windows version of Mission Planner (the version that we brought to last competition) but the MacOS version (the version that we are bringing to this competition) is quite different to operate on. Luckily we figured it out still.
The next step to convert the raw MAVlink data to xml and display on a website so that the driver can see live data of the vehicle.
What the website looks like
We are going to be mounting the system and actually testing it in the car this weekend!
