Helicopter Status Display Project

Introduction

In most sensitive and complex devices, especially vehicles, there is a status page that displays comprehensive information from sensors or subsystems in a user-friendly manner. This project aims to design a user-friendly interface using QML to display the status of a helicopter.

Objective

The goal of this project is to create a visually appealing and functional status display page for a helicopter using QML.

Functional Requirements

The designed page includes the following elements:

1. Fuel: Display fuel level between 0 to 80.
2. Battery: Show battery charge percentage.
3. Indoor Air Temperature: Display temperature inside the cabin, ranging from -20 to 80.
4. Outside Air Temperature: Display temperature outside, ranging from -20 to 80.
5. Camera Fixed System Status: Indicate the status of the camera system with three states: error, warning, and good.
6. Speed: Show the speed of the helicopter, ranging from 0 to 220.
7. Lamps: Indicate whether the lights are on or off.
8. Main Rotor Speed: Display the speed of the main rotor with five states: slowest, slow, medium, fast, and fastest.
9. Control Panel: Indicate the status of the control panel with two states: fail and pass.
10. Radio: Show the strength of radio waves with three states: strong, good, and weak.
