LiMAPs - Inertial Navigation System Interface

The Challenge

LITEF required a sophisticated embedded web interface for their LiMAPs inertial navigation systems. The solution needed to display real-time orientation data (pitch, roll, heading), navigation information, and system diagnostics from high-precision gyroscopes and accelerometers. Operators needed to send commands, configure system parameters, record binary data streams, and visualize inertial sensor data through interactive charts - all while maintaining secure access through token-based authentication.

Our Solution

We built a comprehensive Angular-based embedded frontend that runs directly on the LiMAPs hardware. The application features real-time WebSocket communication for live data streaming, sophisticated D3.js and Chart.js visualizations for orientation and navigation data, and a modular architecture separating dashboard, configuration, plotting, and diagnostic functionality. We implemented dual socket namespaces for separating web UI updates from system commands, built-in test mode support, and PDF report generation. The interface supports multiple operational modes with appropriate route guards for secure access.

The Result

The LiMAPs frontend is deployed as the standard embedded interface across LITEF's modular alignment and positioning systems. The solution provides operators with intuitive real-time monitoring of critical inertial measurements, streamlined configuration workflows, and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities. The embedded web approach eliminated the need for separate desktop software installations while ensuring consistent user experience across all deployed systems.
