Dashboard Interface
A Vue.js dashboard displays telemetry through live charts, gauges, and GPS maps. It supports dual data streams, in-flight PID tuning, and automatic recording with playback for post-flight evaluation.
ESP-NOW Telemetry System | 2025
The ADUM Ground Station is a telemetry and configuration platform developed for the AIAA Design/Build/Fly aircraft at the Aeronautical Society of the University of Maribor. It provides real-time monitoring and in-flight parameter tuning for an autonomous aircraft.
Operating at 20 Hz, the system transmits attitude, altitude, velocity, and PID data with low latency. Each flight is automatically logged for analysis, and full aircraft configurations can be uploaded before take-off.
Communication uses the ESP-NOW protocol on ESP32’s 2.4 GHz antenna, providing direct data transfer without Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

The software and flight teams conducted weekly outdoor tests of the autonomous aircraft, using the ground station as supporting software for live telemetry and configuration during flights.
At the 2025 AIAA Design/Build/Fly competition, the autonomous system placed 4th in Mission 3 out of 110+ teams, demonstrating the reliability of both communication and control subsystems.
A small JSBSim + Three.js simulator was created to visualize and test autonomous landing algorithms before real flights. It replicates control behavior and flight dynamics for software-in-the-loop validation.
