Configuring the Houston App to work over Wi-Fi

The mode of operation Houston App is used over Wi-Fi for engineering missions, it is possible to receive all data packets and plot time changes in the values of AVS, magnetometer, solar sensors, as well as the speed of rotation of the flywheel.

After downloading the on-board Raspberry Pi and the access point of the OrbiCraft 3D view constructor Orbicraft3D_###, connect the computer to this access point and launch the Houston App.

In Houston App go to menu File → Parameters (Picture 1):

In the serverAddress field, enter 192.168.42.1 and click on Ok (Picture 2):

Restart the Houston App

In this mode, the beacon and heartbeat signals are not displayed. But a lot of data is coming from AVS and magnetometer (Picture 3):

If you switch to the AVS tab, you can see a graph of changes in angular acceleration from time, automatically built based on incoming data (Picture 4):

When switching to the Magnetometer tab, you can see a graph of changes in the direction of the magnetic field vector, automatically built on the basis of incoming data (Picture 5):
