Telemetry Ground Station

A prototype ground station that receives, decodes, and visualizes live telemetry over a custom 915 MHz LoRa radio link, giving real-time visibility into a remote system's position, sensor data, and status.

Overview

What was built and why it mattered.

Built as a prototype telemetry system, the ground station receives, decodes, and visualizes live data from a remote system in real time — displaying position, velocity, sensor readings, and system status as they come in, rather than after the fact.

The data path runs from onboard sensors through a custom 915 MHz LoRa radio link to a ground-based receiver, then through a Flask backend into a React dashboard. That path meant the work went well beyond building a GUI: it spanned RF communications, telemetry packet handling and decoding, communications reliability and error detection, backend and frontend development, GPS tracking, data logging, and real-time visualization.
