Welcome To Essex Fells Yatch Club

This is a small approach taken by our club to make a prototype of the Real Time GPS Tracking device. In this project, the pycom(Gpy) microcontroller, Pytrack has been coded with the microPython. The intention of the program build a GPS tracker.

The pycom mircocontroller is configured according to the configuration file provided form the cloud. Once the pycom device is configured it run the program and checks the terminal (REPL) for the command. During an execution if stdin of 'xxx' is pressed then the pycom comes to the rest phase and does not run the program. Pycom microcontroller collects the data like a latitude, longitude, aceleration (x,y,z), roll, pitch, yaw, latitude and longitude of the object holding the pycom. It collects the data according to the time passed in the configuration file.

Each collected data through the pycom is converted into the Signal K,(A free open source Universal marine data exchange format) delta version. Once the data is converted it is transferred to the server on aws which validates the data using the validator provided on the github repository of the Signal K format. After the validation of the data, the data is transferred into the django website. The django website illustrates top seven data form the pycom into the table.

The django website has a filter, input which filters the data according to the time. The filtered data is later displayed on the another page which has a button Map it. After the map it is clicked, the data is passed into the Google Maps API to map the data.

With an approach to replicate the GPS Tracking, the pycom microcontroller is coded with micropython. This project is still under development. We have made it functional but we are trying to integrate more functionality into our program. This is a complete IOT application.
