Configuration

DJICOT's configuration parameters can be set two ways:

  1. In an INI-style configuration file. (ex. djicot -c config.ini)
  2. As environment variables. (ex. export DEBUG=1; djicot)

DJICOT has the following built-in configuration parameters:

  • FEED_URL:

    • Default: tcp://192.168.1.10:41030

    AntSDR source URL. DJICOT selects the input worker from the URL:

    • tcp://host:41030 — binary DJI Drone ID frames (default AntSDR port)
    • tcp://host:52002 — text CSV dji_O,... debug stream
    • file:///path/to/log — offline replay of a captured text log

  • FEED_FORMAT:

    • Default: unset (auto-detect from FEED_URL)

    Set to text to force the text CSV parser when using a non-standard TCP port.

  • COT_TYPE:

    • Default: a-u-A-M-H-Q

    Cursor on Target (CoT) Event type. Default is unknown rotor-wing UAV.

  • SENSOR_LAT:

    • Default: 0.0

    Latitude of AntSDR sensor. If set, sends periodic sensor CoT & used for 'Range' detections.

  • SENSOR_LON:

    • Default: 0.0

    Longitude of AntSDR sensor. If set, sends periodic sensor CoT & used for 'Range' detections.

  • SENSOR_ID:

    • Default: DJICOT

    Unique identifier for sensor. Added as sensor metadata in __cuas CoT Element.

  • SENSOR_COT_TYPE:

    • Default: a-f-G-E-S-E

    Cursor on Target (CoT) Event type for sensor.

  • HIDE_INVALID_DATA:

    • Default: 0

    When set, suppresses CoT for legs with invalid or missing coordinates.

Additional configuration parameters, including TAK Server TLS, certificate enrollment, and PYTAK_NO_HELLO, are included in the PyTAK Configuration documentation.
