# Robot GUI
|
|
|
|
A web server GUI hosted by flask which can be used to control the robot in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic modes.
|
|
The web server is meant to run on a flask backend, but we currently just run it on vanilla HTML and CSS with no backend; we plan on integrating it with flask in the very near future.
|
|
|
|
### Code Description
|
|
|
|
As of now, the code **is** integrated with the flask server, which is able to send commands to the RaspberryPi via python's socket library.
|
|
|
|
- `static/` contains CSS files integrated into the flask application for styling purposes.
|
|
- `templates/` contains the HTML pages we display in our gui.
|
|
- `app.py` is the flask application to be run. This features both intialization of pages and can send/recieve commands
|
|
- `tailwind.config.js` configures tailwind.
|
|
|
|
