@ -2,17 +2,32 @@ This provides some support files for building APM on normal desktop
|
||||
systems. This makes it possible to use debugging tools (such as gdb
|
||||
and valgrind) on the APM code
|
||||
|
||||
To build it do this:
|
||||
The code can then run on the PC instead of on the Arduino board and
|
||||
simulate the behaviour of the real system by integrating it with
|
||||
X-Plane of FlightGear to build a Software-In-the-Loop (SIL) simulator.
|
||||
|
||||
cd ArduPlane
|
||||
make -f ../libraries/Desktop/Makefile.desktop hil
|
||||
It will use TCP sockets to communicate between the several software
|
||||
components (ArduPilot, GCS and Flight simulator). All the ArduPilot
|
||||
serial ports that get initialised map to separate TCP ports, which
|
||||
means you can separately test the telemetry port and the main serial
|
||||
port. It also makes using a debugger easier, as the debugger can use
|
||||
stdin/stdout.
|
||||
|
||||
currently only 'hil' builds work.
|
||||
So the new usage is:
|
||||
|
||||
It currently runs with the first serial port mapped to
|
||||
stdin/stdout. To test it, you can use mavproxy like this:
|
||||
1) build with "make -f ../libraries/Desktop/Makefile.desktop hil"
|
||||
|
||||
mavproxy.py --master=/tmp/ArduPlane/ArduPlane.elf
|
||||
2) start in a terminal like this: /tmp/ArduPlane.build/ArduPlane.elf
|
||||
it will say something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
that will run ArduPlane as a child process, and will give you the
|
||||
ability to control ArduPlane over MAVLink.
|
||||
Serial port 0 on TCP port 5760
|
||||
Waiting for connection ....
|
||||
|
||||
3) start a GCS, pointing it at localhost:5760. For the current
|
||||
mavproxy, you would use:
|
||||
|
||||
mavproxy.py --master=tcp:localhost:5760
|
||||
|
||||
MichaelO has also added support in the GCS mission planner for TCP.
|
||||
You will see a TCP option in the drop down for the serial port, then
|
||||
choose port 5760.
