# NOCTIS

NOCTIS contains all the control and GUI software intended to control a Parrot ANAFI USA drone. It's purpose to find and tracking target out of a defined area using the map editor.

# Setup

NOCTIS was developed on Ubuntu 22.04, however as long as your environment supports [Olympe](https://developer.parrot.com/docs/olympe/index.html) the software should work.

NOCTIS also supports the Raspberry Pi 4B as this was the primary target for the software. I will later include build instructions for compiling Olympe from source on the RPi but TBA for now.

NOTE: [Sphinx](https://developer.parrot.com/docs/sphinx/index.html) only supports certain Linux Distros (Ubuntu/Debian).

## Dotnet

You will need at least Dotnet 7.0. The following commands should work for Ubuntu 22.04.

```bash

sudo apt-get update && \

  sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-7.0

sudo apt-get update && \

  sudo apt-get install -y aspnetcore-runtime-7.0

```

## Python

You will need the following Python packages. Sphinx is necessary to run everything locally in a simulation however this is not required.

```bash

pip install parrot-olympe

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location https://debian.parrot.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/debian.parrot.com.gpg > /dev/null

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/debian.parrot.com.gpg] https://debian.parrot.com/ $(lsb_release -cs) main generic" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.parrot.com.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install parrot-sphinx

sudo apt install parrot-ue4-empty

```

For Google Maps you'll need to install the planet map.

```bash

sudo apt install parrot-ue4-planet

```

## API Keys

To run the WebUI of NOCTIS you must add your API key for Google Maps otherwise the map editor will not function. I have include `environment.cs.example` for you use and replace with your own API key. Be sure to save it as `environment.cs`.

```C#

namespace WebUI.Env

{

  public class Vars

  {

    public const string API_KEY = "{YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY}";

  }

}

```

Additionally, if you'd like to use Google Maps with Parrot Sphinx for simulation at specific coordinates be sure to add you keys to `planet.yaml.example` and save it as `planet.yaml`.

```yaml

Cesium:

  - GoogleKey: '{YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY}'

    CesiumToken: '{YOUR_CESIUM_API_KEY}'

    TilesetSource: 'Google'

    IonAssetId: 2275207

```

## Run

To launch the GUI first navigate to `WebUI` and start the `dotnet` project.

```bash

cd ./WebUI

dotnet run

```

To use Sphinx as a simulated drone execute `start_example.sh` or with Google Maps try `./start_pic.sh`.

```bash

./start_pic.sh

```
