RC Spy Plane

This repository contains the code and instructions for building and controlling a DIY RC spy plane equipped with a camera. The project leverages a Raspberry Pi for video streaming and servo control, combining the ease of development in Python with the performance of C++.

Features

• Real-Time Video Streaming: Stream live video from the Raspberry Pi camera module to any device on the same network.
• Servo Control: Control the servo motor angles through a web interface.
• Efficient and Responsive: Combines Python for high-level logic and C++ for performance-critical tasks.

Components

• Raspberry Pi
• Camera Module (e.g., Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2)
• Servo Motor
• WiringPi Library
• Flask (Python library)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS installed
• Camera Module connected to the Raspberry Pi
• WiringPi library installed on the Raspberry Pi

Installation

• Clone the repository:

• git clone https://github.com/your-username/rc-spy-plane.git
  cd rc-spy-plane
  

• Install WiringPi:

• sudo apt update
  sudo apt install wiringpi
  

• Compile the C++ code:

• g++ -shared -o libservo_control.so -fPIC servo_control.cpp -lwiringPi
