Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Elle0 "test_" targets?

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Simon,

most of these small test progs were written to simply test certain pieces of code while we were implementing or refactoring stuff or writing support for new boards without needing a complete autopilot firmware setup...

E.g. test_telemetry will simply send some telemetry messages, test_sys_time_timer will blink set up timers to blink LEDs, ...

usb_tunnel makes a tunnel between one uart and usb (which can e.g. also be used to configure a GPS through USB).

So basically you add these targets to your airframe file and flash them... then check if you get telemetry messages, can change the actuators output, etc..

See e.g. https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/master/conf/airframes/FLIXR/flixr_lisa_mx.xml#L78

Not sure how much those help you for testing USB telemetry... It definitely works on Lisa/M, etc.. and it *should* (tm) also work on Elle0, but I can't confirm that since I don't have a production version of Elle0.

Esden should be able to help out here...

Cheers,

Felix

Hi List,

I asked this on Gitter some time back.

I am trying to determine if my Elle0 (hardware) has problems. All it is
currently good for is the DFU mode (I can upload the firmware) and some
LED activity (power LED on, LED1 blinking).

There were mixed reports whether the USB port would work as telemetry if
plugged in *after* powering on. In my case my computer (lsusb/dmesg)
doesn't detect anything when plugging in. Even with usb_tunnel.

I wonder if any of the "test_" targets can be used to trigger any
sophisticated reaction in my Elle0 that is a bit more than just the
boring blinking. How are they supposed to be used?

usb_tunnel
setup_actuators
test_sys_time_timer
test_sys_time_usleep
test_telemetry
test_actuators_pwm
test_actuators_pwm_sin
test_esc_mkk_simple
test_esc_asctecv1_simple
test_baro_board
test_adc
test_uart


Cheers,
Simon
