Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Testing without GPS?

[Felix Ruess]

Well, using a "manual" mode of course requires some sort of RC input.

If you don't have an RC connected right now you can also use <subsystem name="radio_control" type="datalink"/> and use Input2Ivy to send commands via joystick from your computer.

Hi Ben,

there should be no need to have a GPS fix (or a GPS connected at all) to fly in "manual" modes...

Of course you can't test the NAV mode then, but you should be perfectly able to fly in e.g. ATTITUDE_DIRECT mode.

In fact that is what I always do when I test indoors...

OK, so perhaps I'm missing something, but how do I get into that mode?

Note: I don't currently have an RC connected (and in fact, have never used an RC with paparazzi so far - will be shortly, though, if all goes according to plan!).

If this is somehow not working as expected for you, please let us know... that would then probably be a bug.

Cheers, Felix

Hi Ben,

I'm not quite sure what your problem is or what you want to do...

Could you please be a bit more specific on what exactly you want to test?

I want to test that this quad basically works - i.e. if I tell it to take off it spins the motors and if I tell it to go somewhere or wiggle the IMU it spins them differently. :-)

And why do you think you need a GPS fix for that currently?

Because (I think) the basic rotorcraft flight plan won't let me start the motors without a fix.

 

Cheers, Felix

I'm building a rotorcraft and it would be much easier to test motors and such without a GPS fix.

Is there a way to create a flight plan (or something) that will do that?
