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.
Installation Instructions
Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.
- Include your github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
- Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
- Include a Makefile for you code.
- Include any additional packages installed via opkg.
- Include kernel mods.
Notes
My default kernel config had the MPU 6050 kernel module configured as a load in module by default.
This could then be loaded on the bone.

User Instructions
Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.
Highlights
Here is where you brag about what your project can do.
Include a YouTube demo.
Theory of Operation
Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.
Work Breakdown
List the major tasks in your project and who did what.
Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.
Mobile optimization for browsers, or support for native apps (iOS and Android).
Conclusions
Give some concluding thoughts about the project. Suggest some future additions that could make it even more interesting.
