Note this project is currently under development and not ready for active use.
This is a project intended to make a nice telemetry (and possible control) interface for robots/uavs. It's for a personal project of mine, but the goal is to make it easily configurable so it could be modified for a variety of telemetry options. Essentially, customizable enough to have a custom telemetry/control interface regardless of your specific platform.
Make sure you have electron and npm installed and running on your system. An FYI I had trouble getting npm install to work properly (Running Linux Mint 18.2) untill I upgraded nodejs to v6.11.4LTS. I suggest using the electron-quick start to test your installation first.
git clone https://github.com/cccraig/Telemetry-Monitor.git
cd Telemetry-Monitor
npm install
If the installation fails, saying something like "failed at electron-rebuild", try installing nodejs 6.11.4LTS. More information is available here, but I've included the necessary terminal commands for completeness.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
It's also possible you are missing build tools.
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
You may need to rebuild serialport to use the version of nodejs included with Electron instead of the system version. This should be done automatically when you run npm install on a fresh clone. If not, the following (or something similar) should work. It removes the existing serial port binaries, then rebuilds them against the local version of nodejs in electron.
rm -rf node_modules/serialport/build/*
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -w serialport -f
ls node_modules/serialport/build/Release
