Vila2Sat Serial

• This is literally a serial monitor.
• Converts the incoming serial data sent by the Vila2Sat's CanSat into the CSV format for the Vila2Sat Dashboard.
• Converts the incoming serial data sent by the Vila2Sat's CanSat into the KML format to track the Vila2Sat Cansat in Google Earth 3D View.

Integrated Terminal Serial Monitor

This uses its own serial monitor using pyserial, it makes the serial monitor show up in the terminal you run the converter in, and while its being monitored, it updates and saves to the output csv file.

• Use python serial to open the terminal serial monitor (both save and update the csv & kml files)

Integrated GUI Serial Monitor

This uses its own serial monitor using pyserial, it makes the serial monitor show up in the terminal you run the converter in, and while its being monitored, it updates and saves to the output csv file.

• Use python serial_gui to open the GUI serial monitor (both save and update the csv & kml files)
