gs_swarm_drones_operator

A repository with the source code for launching an operator program for a swarm of Pioneer-Max drones.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 (Download: https://www.python.org/downloads/)

Installation of operator

1. Clone gs_swarm_drones_operator repository.

   git clone https://github.com/SeriousBanan/gs_swarm_drones_operator.git

2. Install required python modules.

   python3 -m pip install -r <path to gs_swarm_drones_operator>/requirements.txt

Preparing to launch

1. Go to folder with gs_swarm_drones_operator repository.

   cd <path to gs_swarm_drones>

2. Connect to network with drones.

3. Fill json configuration file.

   You need to remove ... and fill fields in configuration.json file:

   • drones count: int value of amount of drones.
   • drones initial positions: dict where keys - drone's ids, values - ids of vertexes where drone start it program (from field.json file).

   {
       "0": 0,
       "1": 6
   }

   • addresses: dict where keys - drone ids or operator, values - dict with ips and ports.

     For example:

     "0": {
         "ip": "192.168.1.19",
         "port": 10000
     }

     This information used to communication between drones and operator.

   Example of full filled configuration file:

   {
       "drones count": 2,
       "drones initial positions": {
           "0": 6,
           "1": 0
       },
       "addresses": {
           "operator": {
               "ip": "192.168.1.1",
               "port": 10000
           },
           "0": {
               "ip": "192.168.1.2",
               "port": 10000
           },
           "1": {
               "ip": "192.168.1.3",
               "port": 10000
           }
       },
       "image file path": "received_image.png"
   }

Launching operator application

1. Go to folder with operator application file:

   cd <path to gs_swarm_drones_operator>

2. Launch python script:

   python3 application.py
