SITL for Windows Automatic Installation Scripts
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of batch files to automatically install and run APM SITL (http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-simulator-software-in-the-loop.html) on a Windows-based PC/laptop.
|
|
|
|
The scripts are based on the SITL setup instructions here: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-native-on-windows.html
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
None! The scripts will take care of everything.
|
|
You will need an Internet connection and an hour of time (will be less with a fast Internet connection) for the scripts to download and install everything.
|
|
|
|
Assumptions:
|
|
|
|
The scripts will install Cygwin, MAVProxy and the APM source to C:\cygwin. So access to the C:\ drive is required.
|
|
|
|
Installing:
|
|
|
|
Download these scripts and unzip
|
|
Run the script "InstallCygwinAPM.ps1" (right click -> Run in Powershell). This will install Cygwin to C:\cygwin and MAVProxy to C:\Program Files (x86)\MAVProxy
|
|
|
|
Running SITL:
|
|
|
|
There are several options for running SITL. In all cases, SITL will output a mavlink stream on 127.0.0.1:14550 (UDP) for connection to any GCS software (Such as Mission Planner).
|
|
|
|
An EEPROM (containing the state of the APM's flash memory - paramters, waypoints, etc) is saved for each vehicle type and (by default) will be re-loaded each time SITL is run. This can be overidden to start with a new EEPROM containing all default values.
|
|
|
|
To continue with the current EEPROM, run:
|
|
|
|
RunCopter.bat for a quadcopter running APM:Copter
|
|
RunPlane.bat for running APM:Plane
|
|
RunRover.bat for running APM:Rover
|
|
|
|
To delete the old EEPROM and start with all default settings, run:
|
|
|
|
ResetRunCopter.bat for a quadcopter running APM:Copter
|
|
ResetRunPlane.bat for running APM:Plane
|
|
ResetRunRover.bat for running APM:Rover
|
|
|
|
Updating the APM source code
|
|
|
|
To update the APM code with the latest of Github, run UpdateAPMSource.bat. Note this is bleeding-edge source code and some bugs may be present.
|
|
Deleting the SITL environment
|
|
|
|
To uninstall/delete the SITL environment, simply delete the "cygwin" folder in the C:\ drive.
