Specifications

This graphical user interface will work with any flight computer that transmits in the following format:

• All transmitted data must be a string representation of an array
• Elements should be separated by spaces
• The first element should be a datatype identifier

Identifiers:

Identifier	Value 1	Value 2	Value 3	Sample String
0	int flightState* (0-3)			"0 2"
1	float altitude(m)			"1 435.78"
2	float attitude.x(deg)	float attitude.y(deg)	float attitude.z(deg)	"2 20.5 8.1 175.4"
3	float GPS.lat	float GPS.long		"3 75.1234 43.9876"

Note: flight states of 0-3 map to "On Pad", "Ascending", "Descending", "Landed" respectively.
