Re: [Paparazzi-devel] paparazzi user edition?

[Marc Schwarzbach]

Hi Wang,

on the configuration I agree, paparazzi is hard to learn and could be improved 
by a graphical interface for that. At least for the basic setup of standard 
configurations. Question is who of the current users, that have working systems 
is interested in putting efforts in the programming when there are more urgent 
tasks like having e.g. a stable toolchain for STM32 autopilots...
Probably it is possible to adapt some parts of the Open-Pilot configuration 
utilities for paprazzi? Both are open source so could be possible. 

Regarding GCS I have to disagree and state that Paparazzi is still the most 
usable open system, even better than some commercial ones...
The only drawback I see is the programming in OCAML which makes improvements 
hard.

In general the different projects just have different scopes regarding users 
and preffered field of use. Paparazzi comes out of the research environment and 
is still widely used there and this is part of the reason why it is the way it 
is. 

Cheers

Marc
