Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Any way to launch *WITHOUT* GCS?

[Aka]

Hi Adrian,

when I had to fly without link (blew the USB-adapter...), I built a direct 
serial connection cable and plugged it into the port normally used for the 
XBee. You have to use transparent mode, of course. 
Then I could check in the GCS that the system was running and was able to 
activate the desired flight plan.
Then I unplugged, launched manually and activated Auto2 in the Air.

There should be ways to activate launch and flight plans by buttons or by RC. 
Perhaps some hints in the code...
