Executive Summary
This project is designed to support the ongoing work of the ROBO 4XX quadcopter teams by creating and documenting a web service hosted on the BBB that allows for telemetry and control of the quadcopter over WiFi (USB Dongle). We aim to create a simple web server that will pull data from an IMU (MPU 6050) and display it (as well as the orientation of a 3D representation of a quadcopter) to the user controlling the quadcopter. Additionally, the user will be able to send control input to the quadcopter and control it (in our case, toggle LEDs corresponding to direction of travel).

Currently nothing works as we haven't approved the project with Dr. Yoder.

That would be everything.

Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.
