[Paparazzi-devel] Real-time Plotter via Bash Script

[Chris Wozny]

Hi all,

I'm utilizing the real-time plotter to make sure the aircraft is
tracking the commanded input properly and wanted to set it up to plot
via a bash script. The following command works properly when I place
it into Paparazzi Center and have it execute the command:

~/paparazzi/sw/logalizer/plotter -m 1000 -u 0.25 -c
1:telemetry:ATTITUDE:theta:57.3 -c 1:telemetry:DESIRED:pitch:57.3 -t
PITCH -g 1280x235+0+266 -n -c *:telemetry:ATTITUDE:phi:57.3 -c
*:telemetry:DESIRED:roll:57.3 -t ROLL -g 1280x235+0+533 -n -c
*:telemetry:GPS:alt:0.001 -c *:telemetry:DESIRED:altitude -t ALTITUDE
-g 1280x235+0+0

However, when I try and put this into a bash script to run it with the
appropriate chmod settings (755) I get what seems to be an error from
the plotter:

address@hidden:~/Desktop$ ./plot_attitude
Broadcasting on network 127.255.255.255, port 2010
Unit conversion error: Parse error of conf/units.xml

Has anyone run into this with the plotter? I'd love to be able to just
fire it up from command-line instead of having to copy and paste
commands into Paparazzi Center every time I start it up.

Also, is there a command line option for the plotter to set the scale
instead of having it autoscale?

Cheers,
Chris
