[Paparazzi-devel] RFC: Add an execution session to paparazzi center.

[cory barton]

I have found that when I am doing setup, and preflight checks on the
plane, I am using the flight USB serial session, but I don't want to
log the data, since I am only making sure that things are working
correctly on the ground. Now if I don't want to log the data, I have
to stop the server, add the -n flag, and then delete the log that was
created.

I have added another session by modifying the control_panel.xml file
in the conf directory. My new session is identical to the Flight USB
serial session, except that it adds the -n flag to the server, so I
can verify everything, without creating extraneous logs. I was
thinking that this might be a nice addition to Paparazzi or to the
wiki, so I thought I would ask the mailing list for its opinion.

Regards,

Cory

Here is the xml:
   <session name="No Log address@hidden">
      <program name="Data Link">
        <arg flag="-d" constant="/dev/ttyUSB0"/>
      </program>
      <program name="Server">
        <arg flag="-n" />
      </program>
      <program name="GCS"/>
    </session>
