Data Telemetry System

IMACS shall be able to display GPS position on map, GPS altimeter, GPS speed, battery level.

If equipped on the RPAS, iMACS shall be able to display barometric altimeter and airspeed information.

Legal requirements, ease of operation for the pilot.

Messaging protocol?

What do we want GUI UI to look like? What framework are we using for this?

Will we also be displaying coords if we’re doing detection of the approx detected object location found from geolocation?

• Custom protocol (crc, message routing) → modify as needed (Identical for receiving and transmission)

• standard message protocol? (more research) → use custom protocol

• bidirectional

• GUI → python (preferred) or Node.js

  • RESEARCH

 IMACS shall be able to display aircraft’s current attitude including pitch, roll, yaw

BVLOS operations clarity and ease of operation

MEDIUM

 @Aidan Bowers (Deactivated)

IMACS shall be able to display motor outputs from the aircraft.

Verify aircraft controls are working as intended without touching them.

HIGH

@Anthony Luo

IMACS shall support communication links that operate up to 5km in range with obstructions.

Flying within BVLOS

@Anthony Luo

 What TX/RX modules do we want to use? Are we still using XBees?

→ Using current XBees for now (needs testing) may need long range

NEEDS RESEARCH

IMACS shall support bidirectional data telemetry over the specified range

HIGH

@Shrinjay Mukherjee

 Re-establish link

→ Built into custom protocol

→ Depends on link as well

NEEDS RESEARCH

IMACS shall support selection, transmission and display of waypoints

Flying aircraft autonomously

MEDIUM

@Shrinjay Mukherjee

→ Must be considered in custom protocol (Also needs research)
