Aerostack2 Web-GUI

Requirements

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

System Architecture

Detailed architecture of the Aerostack2 Web GUI is described in Aerostack2 Web GUI Architecture

Run Aerostack2 Graphical User Interface server

python3 manage.py runserver

Open Webpage and aerostack2 interface using GPS

Open webpage:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/interface/map/use_cartesian=False/

Run Aerostack communication:

python3 as2_interface.py --uav_list drone0 drone1

If simulation mode, run:

python3 as2_interface.py --uav_list drone0 drone1 --sim_mode true --use_sim_time true

Open Webpage and aerostack2 interface using using cartesian coordinates

Open webpage:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/interface/map/use_cartesian=True/

Run Aerostack communication:

python3 as2_interface.py --uav_list drone0 drone1 --use_cartesian_coordinates true

If simulation mode, run:

python3 as2_interface.py --uav_list drone0 drone1 --use_cartesian_coordinates true --sim_mode true --use_sim_time true

Config Aerostack2 Graphical User Interface server

In MapApp/static/Config_files user web interface parameters can be configured.

In Config/ the following parameters can be configured:

• markers.json: Icons to be draw on the map, such as UAVs, waypoints, etc.
• mission.json: Mission color order.
• uav.json: UAV color order.
• websocket.json: URL of the websocket connection.

In Config_gps/ the following parameters can be configured for GPS coordinates usage, and in Config_cartesian/ for cartesian coordinates usage:

• global.json: Map configuration, such as map center, zoom, map source, etc.
• layers.json: Map layers configuration, setting default color and add parameters to be configured such as swarm algorithm.
• sidebars.json: Sidebars configuration, settings default parameters values.

Using Aerostack2

Remember to have the Aerostack2 running and the mission executor for each UAV.

ros2 run as2_python_api mission_executor --n drone0 --add_namespace
