Code for a project in CSC 1980 and CSC 2280. By the way hi Dr. Roberson/Dr. Lewis!

Overview

This repository is for my Innovation Time Project for the 2020-2021 school year. The concept is a sort of quick reference handbook for drone pilots, much like how airline pilots have a quick reference handbook in their aircraft for different procedures and especially for emergency or off nominal circumstances.

System requirements

Basically, the only thing one needs to use this script is Python 3

Operating systems supported:

1. macOS
2. Linux
3. Windows

Other requirements:

1. Python 3 (developed using Python 3.8, but any Python 3.x version should work fine)
2. A terminal sized to a width of greater than 80 columns (That's the generally accepted width and what I've hard-coded. I might make the word wrapping and things based off of the terminal width so it doesn't have to be > 80 columns but that would come later)

innovation-time-project-code's Issues

Remove the manufacturer-specific code

Having Parrot related checklists in the code never actually ended up happening, so we should probably remove that code so that we don't cause confusion. Alternatively, we could just remove the case in the driver file for Parrot drones and let the non-specific checklists code handle it

Clean up ordering for the functions.py file

Functions.py has enough functions in it that it's starting to get really messy. We probably should reorder the functions so that displayMenu() is first, then followed by the functions for the menu options, then when we get to displayNonNormaiMenu(), all of the functions for that menu should follow. It would just improve the readability of the code

open() functions won't work on Windows

We need to change them to use os.path to get the actual path separator. For now, we can leave it as is, we'll just always throw an exception on Windows machines.
