Potensic Flight Log Viewer

A web application for visualizing and analyzing flight data from Potensic drones. This application allows users to upload their drone flight logs and view the flight path on an interactive map, complete with telemetry data.

Features

• Upload and process Potensic drone flight logs (ZIP files)
• Interactive map visualization of flight paths

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Flask web framework
• Additional Python packages (specified in requirements.txt)

Installation

Local Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bgruszka/potensic-flight-log-viewer.git
   cd potensic-flight-log-viewer

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Docker Setup

1. Build and run using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

Usage

Running the Application

Local Development

1. Start the Flask development server:

   python app.py

2. Open your web browser and navigate to: http://localhost:5000

Docker Deployment

1. After running docker-compose up, access the application at: http://localhost:8085

Using the Application

1. Prepare your flight log:

   • Locate the ZIP file containing your Potensic drone flight data
   • The ZIP file should contain FC (Flight Controller) and FPV files

2. Upload and view flight data:

   • Click the "Select ZIP file" button on the homepage
   • Choose your flight log ZIP file
   • Click "Upload" to process the data
   • The application will display your flight path on an interactive map

3. Map features:

   • Blue line shows the flight path
   • Arrows indicate flight direction
   • Red home position marker shows the takeoff location
   • Green/Red markers show start and end points
   • Click markers for additional information

Supported File Formats

• ZIP files containing:
  • FC (Flight Controller) files: .fc or -FC.bin extensions
  • FPV (First Person View) files: -FPV.bin extension

Troubleshooting

• Ensure your ZIP file contains valid flight controller data
• Check that file names follow the expected format
• Verify that the flight log contains valid GPS coordinates
• For Docker deployment issues, ensure ports 8000 is not in use
