Ground Station UI

Visualizes real-time telemetry data from the CUInSpace rocket. The telemetry data is parsed by the Python backend and sent to the frontend as JSON over WebSocket. Map data is provided via a self-hosted tiling server.

Installation Instructions

You will need both the front-end and back-end repos. The backend repo can be found here.

First clone both repositories:

  git clone https://github.com/CarletonURocketry/ground-station.git
  git clone https://github.com/CarletonURocketry/ground-station-ui.git

Starting the Backend

Go to the project directory, setup the virtual environment and start the ground station.

cd ground-station
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py -l <logging-level>

Starting the Frontend

Go to the project directory, install dependencies and start the UI.

cd ground-station
npm install
unzip mapping_tiles.zip
npm run tile_server mapping_tiles &
npm run start

You can also build the UI and start the built version using:

npm run build
npx serve -s build
