Enhance Mission Editor

[asv-soft-u01]

Create a robust and user-friendly Mission Editor module within the software, allowing users to define and manage mission plans for drone operations. This mission editor will serve as a crucial component for mission planning and execution, enhancing the usability and functionality of the software.

Tasks:

1. Design the User Interface:

   • Develop wireframes or mockups for the Mission Editor interface, considering ease of use and intuitive navigation.
   • Ensure compatibility and integration with the existing Avalonia UI framework.

2. Implement Mission Plan Structure:

   • Define the structure and format for mission plans, including waypoints, commands, and parameters, conforming to the MavLink protocol standards.
   • Establish data models and classes to represent mission plans within the software architecture.

3. Enable Mission Editing Functionality:

   • Implement features for adding, removing, and editing mission waypoints and commands through the user interface.
   • Validate user inputs to ensure correctness and adherence to mission planning guidelines.

4. Integrate with MavLink Protocol:

   • Establish communication channels with drones using the MavLink protocol to exchange mission plan data.
   • Implement parsing and serialization of mission plans to MavLink-compatible messages for transmission to drones.

5. Validate Mission Plans:

   • Develop validation mechanisms to check the integrity and feasibility of mission plans, including checking for conflicts, constraints, and safety considerations.
   • Provide informative feedback to users on validation results and potential issues with the mission plan.

6. Save and Load Mission Plans:

   • Implement functionality to save mission plans to persistent storage and load existing plans for further editing or execution.

7. Test and Debug:

   • Create comprehensive unit tests to validate the functionality of the Mission Editor module, covering edge cases and error scenarios.
   • Conduct integration testing with the overall software system to ensure seamless operation and compatibility.

8. Documentation:

   • Document the usage and features of the Mission Editor module, including instructions for creating, editing, and executing mission plans.
   • Update project documentation to reflect the addition of this new functionality.

9. User Feedback and Iteration:

   • Gather feedback from users on the usability and effectiveness of the Mission Editor.
   • Iterate on the design and implementation based on feedback to improve user satisfaction and overall functionality.

Completion Criteria:

• The Mission Editor module is fully functional, allowing users to create, edit, save, and load mission plans for drone operations.
• Mission plans conform to the MavLink protocol standards and are successfully transmitted to drones for execution.
• The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, facilitating efficient mission planning workflows.
• Comprehensive documentation is provided, covering both usage instructions and internal implementation details.
