Live-Telemetry

Modular Live Telemetry Project for Zephryus:

• Communicates through low frequency radio
• Includes dashboard for visualization

Set-up

Linux/WSL Install for Dashboard (all commands on WSL unless specified)

Python Setup

1. Update existing dependencies sudo apt update

2. Install Python through terminal sudo apt install python3 -y

3. Install Python library manager with sudo apt install python3-pip -y

4. Create virtual enviornment with python3 -m venv env

5. Enter virtual enviornment source env/bin/activate

6. Install libraries with pip install -r requirements.txt

Arduino Setup

1. Open Powershell as Admin

2. On Powershell run usbipd list to list all USB devices attached to Windows, noting which device is the ESP32

3. On Powershell run usbipd attach --wsl --busid <BUSID> to attach USB device to WSL, where <BUSID> is the value from step 8 ex. 2-1

4. Go back to WSL and run lsusb to confirm that the ESP32 is now visible inside WSL. Example output ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge

5. Run dmesg | grep tty to see which COM port Linux assigned to the USB port. Look for something like /dev/ttyUSB0

6. Run sudo chmod 666 <PORT NAME> to give the port permissions, port name is defined above

7. Inside backend/server.py replace the port name with the one from dmesg/lsusb
