Quad Squad - Software

Repo for the software running on the Raspberry Pi 4 for the quadcopter

Requirements

• Python 3.8
• Virtual Environment (I use PipEnv)

Get Started

1. Run pipenv install in root directory
2. To start the environment pipenv shell

Multithreaded Server

Flask

Flask acts as REST server between the controller device and runs on the Pi on the main thread.

For this to work on the Pi without internet connection, setup the pi as a waypoint using this walkthrough

Serial Communication

On another thread, there is a serial communication loop running

Start Server

2. Run either command in /src
   • python main.py

Note

• Serial port on Raspberry Pi 3B+ is /dev/ttyACM0
• Still need to build logic between serial and STM
