\uD83E\uDD14 Problem Statement
We must allow bidirectional communication between drone and ground station using XBees by implementing three Python modules - GroundSend, Ground Receive, and Control. More information surrounding these modules can be found in Data Telemetry Preliminary Architecture. Finished modules will send data to and from drone and ground station to be displayed in real time on competition GUI (PyQt5)

\uD83D\uDDD3 Plan for Implementation
System Flowchart!
Solution overviewNeed to update plan for implementation
More information on specific modules found in Data Telemetry Preliminary Architecture.
Messages will be encoded to array of bytes and bytes will be decoded to messages. More information in Ground-Side-Telemetry
Task for the proof of concept are split up as follows:
Encoding messages and decoding bytes
Parse data to show on GUI (PyQt5)
Implement message protocol and send messages in real time
Proof of concept allowing data being sent to GUI, messaging protocol, and decoding and encoding messages
