Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GCS Communication Problems

Hi Meghan,

you have chosen the xbee_api telemetry system in your airframe file, but try to run link without the "-transport xbee"e parameter (so it can't parse the xbee protocol).

I suggest you use the "transparent" telemetry type (which is a transparent serial connection), unless you have a need to use the xbee api mode (then you need to start link with the appropriate transport parameter).

Cheers, Felix

We have been following the tutorial off of this website: http://www.mannberg.co.uk/paparazzi/?p=5#comments

After uploading funjet1 onto the tiny v2.11 through USB, we connected the tiny serial port to the J2 port of the FTDI Utility Board V1.0 and then USB to the FTDI board to the computer. We are powering the tiny with an external power source of 7V and 0.1A. We changed the session to Flight address@hidden and then executed. Here are the commands in the console after executing with the FTDI board and tiny connected:

RUN '/home/uav/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/tmtc/link -d /dev/ttyUSB0'
RUN '/home/uav/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/tmtc/server '
RUN '/home/uav/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs '

Nothing is present in the GCS console except "Waiting for telemetry..."

I have included the firmware code and FTDI->Tiny 2.11 set up image below.

We have been working on trying to connect to paparazzi for a couple weeks now, and can't seem to find a fix. Does anyone know why we cannot connect to the GCS?

Firmware Code:
