[Paparazzi-devel] Porblem with serial conecttor

[Stephen L Hulme]

Dear Jesus

 

I have noticed your insurmountable problems both here and on RC Groups.

 

You may have to consider using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) if you are currently using 9.10.

 

I had similar problems using Ubuntu 9.10 with the FTDI cable (GCS would not populate) after upgrading from 9.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1420.

 

After I rolled back to the older distro my problems disappeared and everything works fine.

 

I have no obvious solution for this 9.10 problem and can confirm I administered all the recommended fixes offered by

those more experienced than I without success. 

 

Regards

 

Stephen

Hello:
   I´ve tried to connect the TWOG via serial-FTDI to my computer, but I haven´t got connection. I´ve change in the airframe file the speed connection to 9600 bauds, like the GCS, but the leds of the FTDI doesn´t blink. I´ve checked the FTDI volts, there isn´t any error during the building of the code.
  When I want to connect the TWOG by the FTDI to the computer, I connect the usb too, Is it correct? I usually connect it after connect the fdti, how says in this blog: http://www.mannberg.co.uk/paparazzi/?p=5#more-5

  Anybody could help me?
  Thanks
