Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Adding module to GCS?

[pascal . brisset]

Hi,

there is currently no possible entry through papgets. I'm not sure I understand 
what you want exactly. But if you
are ready to develop a standalone application to do it, commnications over the 
Ivy bus would may be enough
(http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Overview#System_Architecture)

For example, if you want to move a waypoint, you will just have to send a 
message like
  joe MOVE_WAYPOINT 3 2 43.123 1.345 250
to the Ivy bus (description of the fields of the message is in conf/conf.xml). 
This message will be handled by the server and forwarded to the aircraft. 
Waypoints ids are available in your var/ACNAME/flight_plan.h

There are examples of connection in C to the Ivy bus in 
sw/ground_segment/tmtc/c_ivy_client*.c

If you just need another kind of coordinates, it is maybe simple and I could 
add the feature to the GCS waypoint editor ... Let me know

--Pascal

Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] Adding module to GCS?


Hi,

I would like to be able to allow the operator to enter coordinates as bearing 
and range of a waypoint using the keyboard.  Something like the existing 
waypoint editor, but using different coordinates, and it needs to always be 
done 
at the beginning of the flight plan.  I found some reference to graphical 
objects at http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/GCS#Papgets, but there's not much 
detail on how to use this, and OCAML is very cryptic to me.

Is there any good documentation on adding functionality (modules?) to the GCS?

I would also be happy to write a separate application in C if necessary, but I 
don't know how to get the data into the GCS.  Can the GCS read data from a file?

Thanks,
Steve
