[PROGRAM] Python GUI for YSRADAR

[u2fly]

UPDATE: YS RADAR GUI ver.0.0.2

CHANGELOG:

• change look of aircraft marker and text
• add date and clock with GMT time (see footer)
• rename window title (make shorter)
• add version number into main window (see left-up corner)
• (other small changes)

Grab and test GUI prototype now!
ysradar-gui-0_0_2.zip

This is some draft and code example how make GUI for YSRADAR using Python with Tkinter library.

For working this demo install:

• Python 2.7
• Tkinter library for Python2.7 (distributed with Python)
• Tcl/TK 8.6

Then try run it from terminal on your system.

P.S. Here also are example of radarscope on pure C

Poseidon 2 include YSFLIGHT packet stacker in Python 3.

Thanks.
But I steal can't understand how your tool work (I'm not good programmer and you dont give us any documentation about your project in English).
Anyway, can you convert my example to work with Poseidon2?
Also it will be good if you make one more Poseidon2 version for Python2.x !

I like where this project is going. Only issues I notice are how you would get the "user" blip to appear. I could see a potential collaboration with this idea and the integration of ATC. I propose YS could have commands that relay info on the users position and plane type as well as how it is in the air (it's state, speed, etc) to the program. Flight Tracking Strips in YS would be able to allow for ATC to work efficiently in conjunction with this program.

Make update GUI skeleton for YSRADAR

--
UPDATE:

• add transparency
• make window on top
• add title to main window
• enlarge window size and fix it
• add text line under aircraft marker for altitude as '@ <value>'
• (some other improvements)

Poseidon 2 is for server...so cannot include it. But Packet and PacketStacker class in src/pos/packet.py useful for develop proxy for current YSFLIGHT.

And OfficerFlake's Orb and OpenYS source is very very good YSFLIGHT Protocol Reference.

Very very nice work u2fly!

Now a question is it possible to have ground objects show on the radar? How about just certain objects? How about an underlaying image like a simple map?

Thanks & Lets do it!
Give me a sketch (paint on attached screenshot) how you want it will look!
Then I try answer correctly.

Also, did you try it on your PC? Is this demo work for you?

No not yet.

Well my thoughts were to have like a GPS style setup where the map/image will move inside the radar

[u2fly]

No not yet.

What system you use? (I use Linux)

Ok, its not hard, only issue is that GUI planned for ATC tower that fixed on map. But, think, will make it usable as aircraft radar too.
Can you give me an image with examples? Try google it and give me one that you like.

Also look this

Is it what you think?

u2fly, I think it need these function.

- Packet Capture
-- Entity Spawn
-- Move Entity

- Entity Manager
-- Entity ID
-- Entity Owner
-- Entity Name
-- Entity IFF
-- Last Entity Place

and calculate between Entity method needed.

Can you give me some example code for Python2.7, that I can test with this GUI?

[Deleted User 2704]

Example...at first, you need to understand YSFLIGHT Protocol.
YSFLIGHT uses TCP socket so capturing them needs "socket" module in Python 2.7/3.
YS Packets are raw C struct so extracting them needs "struct" module in Python 2.7/3.

All YS Packet has following structure.

4byte-uint Packet Body Length(n)
4byte-uint Packet Body Type
nbyte-struct Packet Body

Packet Type is about 50 type(Check OpenYS Code) like entity spawn, move object, damaged...etc.

and some packet connected and inserted one frame.

I suggest to read OpenYS and Orb Packet Module and view YS Packet with Wireshark.
Poseidon 2 packet.py is reference implement for packet capturing.

Ok, think soon this GUI will use next Python 2.7 modules:

• Tkinter
• time
• math
• socket
• struct
• ...

Please, adapt your "packet.py" and Eric's "ysradar.py" for YSFlight 20150425 (using Python 2.7):
https://gist.github.com/EricTendian/8500747
... and give me simple example script that connect to YS server (20150425) as aircraft, and return coordinates using "print" command!

[Deleted User 2704]

Umm...it wont be simple...
Poseidon 2 is running as proxy needs 1200 line(i thought it simple but take long time...2 mean rewrited).

Getting IFF by ID will be like this.
print(EntityManager().getEntity(65537).getIFF())

(i thought it simple but take long time...)

Story of my life hahaha!

[Barr]

Yea pretty much something like that. Nothing complex just aircraft and maybe vor/dmes and other navigational aids and list their names. That would make ATC alot easier and realistic

[u2fly]

Now I'm try make "YS RADAR" GUI closer to "OpenRadar" look

Here are few "OpenRadar" screenshots.
