# CUInSpace Telemetry Server

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-green.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

This software is a command line tool for retrieving UART data via serial from the CUInSpace

[ground station board][ground-station-board] and parsing it into readable data which is served via websocket for the

[ground-station-ui][ground-station-ui] live telemetry dashboard.

## Quick Start

Before starting, ensure you have Python 3.11+ installed and the CP210x driver for the homemade ground-station board UART

connection. This is not necessary if using the PICTail Daughter Board.

- Download the latest release

- Navigate to the project directory from the terminal

- Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`

- Run `py main.py -h` for a list of commands

Note that the ground station device should be connected before starting the telemetry server in order to receive an

accurate list of available serial ports.

## Further Reading

Please see the [GitHub Wiki][wiki] for further documentation on how to set up and run the telemetry server.

## Contribution
