Drone Based Transmission Line Inspection Using AI - Need Help Building Dashboard
Hello everyone,
I am a final-year Electrical Engineering student working on my project:
Drone Based Transmission Line Inspection Using AI
Project Status
My hardware prototype is already completed.
Hardware includes:
ESP32
ESP32-CAM
Temperature Sensor (DS18B20)
Voltage Sensor (ZMPT101B)
Current Sensor (ACS712)
Vibration Sensor (SW-420)
GPS Module (NEO-6M)
Li-ion Battery
Wi-Fi Communication
The ESP32 sends sensor data through Wi-Fi, and the ESP32-CAM sends captured images to my laptop.
AI Model
I am training a TensorFlow MobileNetV2 model to detect the following faults:
Normal
Insulator Crack
Broken Insulator
Loose Connection
Broken Conductor
Tower Damage
Hotspot
Corrosion
Vegetation Contact
Foreign Object
What I Need Help With
I have never built a dashboard before.
I want to create a professional web dashboard that can:
Display live ESP32 sensor data
Receive images from ESP32-CAM
Run AI prediction using TensorFlow
Show confidence score
Display GPS location
Show fault severity
Generate alerts (LED/Buzzer)
Store fault history in a database
Export CSV/PDF reports
Technologies I Plan to Use
Python
FastAPI
React
Tailwind CSS
TensorFlow
OpenCV
SQLite
ESP32 Wi-Fi
My Questions
Is this technology stack suitable for my project?
How should I structure the backend and frontend?
How should ESP32 send live data to FastAPI?
What is the best way to integrate TensorFlow predictions into the dashboard?
Do you have any GitHub repositories or tutorials for similar projects?
Any suggestions, architecture diagrams, or open-source examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
