Project Description
I’m building a Ground Control Station in C++ dedicated to a surveillance-grade quadcopter and I’d like your help finishing the core application. The immediate requirement is solid, low-latency GPS tracking: the program must read MAVLink telemetry from the vehicle, parse position data in real time, and display the aircraft on an interactive map (OpenStreetMap or similar).
While the current focus is GPS tracking, I’m structuring the code so we can layer in real-time video or full mission-planning later, so clean, modular design matters. I’m working on Windows and Linux, so Qt or another cross-platform toolkit is preferred, but if you have a better library choice I’m open to it.
Deliverables
• C++ source and a cross-platform build script
• Executable demo showing live GPS plotting (simulator data is fine)
• Brief build/run instructions and a short note on how the code can be extended for additional surveillance features
If you’ve already interfaced with MAVLink, libcurl, or mapping APIs and can turn this around quickly, let’s talk.
