Droneshare now a standard part of Andropilot

Ok. I have been working on a droneshare-type project for many months now. Was planning to announce it publicly fairly soon. Would love to join forces, rather than compete.

The source is here: https://code.google.com/p/afterflight/source/list

and here is the current version in action (be patient; I have done absolutely no optimization yet! The OL library is like 1mb!):

http://volcanocopter.com:8000/flight/2013-02-26-17-02-29tlog/ (pressing play on the video is a good start)

Some features that are currently working:

- Importing .tlogs into a Django database

- Importing APM dataflash .logs into a Django databse

- Time-linked playback of data graphs, map, and video

- Zooming of timeline, graph, map

Some features in the works:

- User entry of time-associated notes through the web interface

- User syncing of video with log through the web interface

The code is very rough right now, but I have big plans to make it efficient. Switching all of the javascript widgets to a D3-based system with shared data should help, and I'm planning to compile a custom OpenLayers because that library is like a 1mb download at the moment.

By the way, have you had any interaction with www.droneos.com? Seems like vaporware. I also came across web GCS which I think was 3DR-funded at one point... do you know what I'm talking about? Maybe we can all get together and build something feature-complete.

Hi Aaron,

I'd happily join up with you. Great work! I'll send you a note tonight and we'll see how we can mergemotize.

I looked into droneos and it seemed vaporish so I never contacted them before writing droneshare.

Not yet - but possibly someday. I wanted to make it a bit more complete/fix bugs before others start running copies of the server.

Hi there. Is droneshare open source? I have been working on a similar project and would be interested in collaborating.
