For the server, install libyaml:

Install python dependencies:

(psas-telemetry)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

Start the telemetry server. If you changed some scripts, don't forget to rerun make build.

(psas-telemetry)$ ./telemetry.py

Usage

Once the rocket is sending data and the backend server is running, simply navigate to http://localhost:8080 to start seeing data.

Finish and Resume

When you're finished, kill the script with Ctrl+C and get out of the virtualenv with deactivate.

To resume the environment, navigate back to this directory and run workon psas-telemetry.
