#Main Scripts
-
conversor.py -> Python script to create a KML spline from a CSV document. Please notice this CSV document has a structure of "time", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Altitude" for each column. GPS_ballon.csv is an exemple of a CSV document and "path.kml" is the KML file
-
xbee_balloon -> python script that creates a KML point readint from a Serial port and appends data to a CSV file.
-
xbee_car -> python script that creates a KML point reading from a Serial port.
#Calling scripts for unix-based systems

Other PNG files and KML files are just an exemple that could be added to a Google Earth.
