Wadi Drone is a system that is designed to assist naturalists in monitoring large or hard to reach areas. Specifically, it uses a drone to collect recorded data from data station and return the data the the operator. It is specifically designed to allow for remote data collection at ranges larger than is feasible for wireless data transmission.
Wadi Drone consists of a number of elements. Of relevance to our project are the drone itself, specifically the on-board software (data mule system), the data stations, and the ground control software(gcs) used to control missions called QGroundControl. For this project we would be modifying the software on the on-board computer, the data stations and QGroundControl to achieve a few new functionalities.
In addition to the main modifications made in QGroundControl, there will be changes made in Drone Companion Computer code base as well as the Data Station code base. The repositories for both of these can be found in the following links:
- Data Station Code Base: https://github.com/mslos/Camera-trap-Wadi
- Drone Companion Computer Code Base: https://github.com/mslos/Drone-Wadi
Automatically save new data station to QGroundControl and allow them to be interfaced by Wadi Drone on future missions.
The default information uploaded by QGroundControl is insufficient, so we will extend its functionality so that all on board components have the required information to complete the mission.
Add the ability to automatically query the relevant information from a data station when deployed.
