*ArduPilot Telemetry Dashboard: A Customizable Web-Based Tool for UAV Monitoring* * *0:08** Telemetry Dashboard Introduction:* Peter Hall introduces the Telemetry Dashboard, a customizable, read-only, web-based tool for displaying UAV telemetry data. It connects via MAVLink over websockets, primarily using Mission Planner as a source. * *0:46** Read-Only Nature:* It's emphasized that the dashboard is not a Ground Control Station (GCS). It cannot send commands or plan missions, solely focusing on data display. * *1:00** User-Defined and Shareable:* The dashboard is fully customizable with user-defined widgets, and layouts can be saved as JSON files for sharing and reloading. * *1:14** Widget Examples:* The presentation includes demonstrations of various widgets, including value displays, graphs, message logs, subgrids for organizing elements, and interactive 3D vehicle models. * *1:33** Online Requirement:* Currently, the dashboard requires an internet connection to load external libraries. Offline functionality is a potential future development. * *7:02** Widget Customization:* Users can edit the code of individual widgets directly, offering extensive control over the displayed information and behavior using Javascript and Plotly. * *13:01** Configuration Saving:* The dashboard warns users about unsaved changes and offers options for downloading both the entire dashboard layout and individual widget configurations as JSON files. * *19:02** Embedding Images:* The presentation demonstrates how to embed images directly into the dashboard, useful for custom logos or vehicle diagrams. * *19:47** Interactive 3D Models:* A widget featuring a 3D model of the aircraft is shown, capable of mirroring control surface movements and potentially reflecting real-time vehicle states like servo positions. * *23:37** Weather Map Integration:* A widget displaying the vehicle's position on an interactive weather map from Windy is demonstrated, allowing for visualizing wind conditions and other weather data at the flight location. * *24:27** Use Cases:* The dashboard is envisioned as a tool for creating custom displays tailored to specific vehicle needs, aiding in monitoring critical parameters and automating checks (e.g., highlighting values exceeding thresholds). * *25:39** Future Development:* Plans for future development include saving dashboard configurations to the vehicle's SD card for automatic loading, and potentially adding limited control capabilities. * *26:58** Q&A:* The presentation concludes with a question-and-answer session, addressing topics such as the possibility of adding interactive elements and chat functionality, clarifying how the dashboard interacts with telemetry sources, and discussing the potential for creating locked-down, customer-facing dashboard configurations.

Nice! Great work, Peter! Happy flying!
Nice one I look forward to playing with it
Thank you for sharing.
Great work Sir.
