MAQSS_GCS

Ground Control Station for the Multiple Autonomous Quadcopter Search System

• Allows user specified Search Area mission creation via map display and GPS coordinates
• Allows vehicle status monitoring and live location updates on map display
• Automatically interfaces with known vehicles in the area
• Automatically allocates Search Area mission amongst available vehicles

BUILD NOTES:

FOR LINUX MAQSS_GCS uses the xbeeplus library at: https://github.com/NGCP/xbeeplus

To configure this project to use xbeeplus:

1. Download (clone, fork) xbeeplus repo locally

2. Download MAQSS_GCS repo locally

3. Navigate to MAQSS_GCS repo

4. Modify MAQSS_GCS.pro file to specify xbeeplus library path

A. Modify SOURCES

        SOURCES += main.cpp\
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/lib/ReceivePacket.cpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/lib/ReceivePacket.cpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/lib/SerialXbee.cpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/lib/TransmitRequest.cpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/lib/Utility.cpp \
  
For example, if xbeeplus is two levels above the MAQSS_GCS directory and inside NGCP,
        
        SOURCES += main.cpp \
          ../../NGCP/xbeeplus/lib/ReceivePacket.cpp \
          ../../NGCP/xbeeplus/lib/SerialXbee.cpp \
          ../../NGCP/xbeeplus/lib/TransmitRequest.cpp \
          ../../NGCP/xbeeplus/lib/Utility.cpp \

B. Modify LIBS

        LIBS += \
          -lboost_system\
          -lboost_thread\

C. Modify HEADERS

        HEADERS += \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/Frame.hpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/ReceivePacket.hpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/SerialXbee.hpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/TransmitRequest.hpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/Utility.hpp \
          ./relative/path/to/xbeeplus/include/Xbee.hpp \
