[Paparazzi-devel] Adding module to GCS?

[Steven Wawryk]

Hi,

I would like to be able to allow the operator to enter coordinates as bearing 
and range of a waypoint using the keyboard.  Something like the existing 
waypoint editor, but using different coordinates, and it needs to always be done 
at the beginning of the flight plan.  I found some reference to graphical 
objects at http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/GCS#Papgets, but there's not much 
detail on how to use this, and OCAML is very cryptic to me.

Is there any good documentation on adding functionality (modules?) to the GCS?

I would also be happy to write a separate application in C if necessary, but I 
don't know how to get the data into the GCS.  Can the GCS read data from a file?

Thanks,
Steve
