System-oriented dashboards for DroneCAN & Cyphal (YAML-powered)

Tsugite

A system-oriented dashboard for Cyphal (CAN + UDP) & DroneCAN (from YAML) that renders live panels from a YAML manifest—so you watch the system, not just the bus.

Why this exists

Most tools are bus-oriented (frames/subjects). Field work needs system-oriented views:

• “Is my VTOL healthy? Which nodes are missing? Are critical topics alive?”
• “Can the phone in my pocket show a health dashboard over Wi-Fi?”

Tsugite answers with:

• A YAML system manifest that defines your expected nodes, roles, and topics.
• A backend that speaks Cyphal & DroneCAN.
• One or more frontends (desktop PySide6, and maybe something else in future) that render system health.

Usage

pip install .[all]
