[Paparazzi-devel] long range gruond based communication

[Balazs GATI]

Dear Developer,

this is the first time I write on the list, but we started the work with 
paparazzi in 2010.01 and last summer performed about 10 successfull 
testflights with the original paparazzi package (EasyGlider, Twog, 
AC4868). (Chris provided a lot of help in his blog.)

We are very impassioned and this year we would like to extend our 
capability with a long range ground based communication between the test 
field and the university. To avoid large mess in our (already 
operating!) system, I would like to ask you for some hint.

The task relating paparazzi is to send some of the received telemetry 
data via serial port (different to one used by the radio modem) of the 
notebook running the GCS. Unfortunately we are quite noob to C, IVY and 
Ocaml, but python looks more closer to our capabilty :( Could you 
suggest us a proper approach to manage the task? For example the python 
version of the "messages" window can be changed to perform this task? Or 
do we need to change more module in the system?

Best regards,
 Balazs
