Suggest consolidating CLI and GCS #20

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I suggest we consolidate the CLI functions and GCS into a new Comms.pde and 
obsolete the CLI and GCS.
This will allow us to do all configuration and managing from a single 
application at any time we want or need to. We need to possibly incoorporate 
some security to prevent users to change vital settings while in flight.
I know there have been issues with CLI over XBees, not sure whether this can be 
tackled or it is as simple as setting the XBees baudrate to 111000 instead of 
115200.

Hope to get your feedback quickly; I'm halfway through combining the two :)

I strongly support whatever you suggest, Kim! ;)
Getting rid of the CLI is a great idea and comes very handy for beginners.
Also it's reported that 111000 simply works.

I hope that user with no xBee, will still be able to config the Quad ;-)

Without Xbee is no problem; as soon as #define SerXbee is uncommented, all this 
works over the USB FTDI connection. The advantage I see is that we can add 
loads of help lines describing what a function does. With help from the menu, 
we can organize functions into categories, which aids with understanding 
whether a function is something a newbie should try and use, or not ;)

Oh ! I've been using this with my 900Mhz Xbee, and it works just fine on 115200 
baud. 

Needs some tweaking, this consolidation, but it's already in Dev_trunk in case 
you guys want to give it a whirl ;)

Hi Kim,

None of the Configurators is working.  I can not see any PID values in the 
latest Configurator and in the Old Configurator I can not adjusted any PID 
values.

Greetings,
Hein

Hmmm, that's weird. Pretty sure I tested this. Could you guys assist, cause I'm 
not going to be able to sit down and code until at least somewhere next week :(

What should be tested is if the serial commands work via Serial Monitor. If 
not, is SendSerialTelemetry actually fired ? Sorry I can't actively contribute 
right now guys, I'm away from home till at least tuesday next week.

Hi Kim,

I have Windows Prof XP (service pack 3).  Do you think that could be a reason 
for my problem.  
I am currently running the exe.file under debug or release then I get a error 
"system could not find the following file "touchless.Vision"?  I just normally 
press continue.....  Which exe file should I run under debug or release?  I did 
install Microsoft.net framework 4.  Am I suppose to run some installer for this 
configurator?
Please help.  I have no experience in Visual Basic.  
Last question.  I downloaded Visual Basic Express.  Will I be able to use this 
to compile and make changes to your configurator?....I would like to play with 
it..

Thanx,
Hein

Hey Hein ! The latest version of the APMC was that of Krokodil. I added him to 
CC. I had these same issues with the Touchless.Vision thingy until Krokodil 
sent me an update; not sure whether he had updated SVN by then, so I'm not sure 
what we should and shouldn't be able to do with that version right now.
Visual Basic Express 2010 is exactly what you need to open the project and play 
with it ;)
I'll be back sometime next week and hope to find some time to tackle some 
issues, but sure hope you guys can have a look at COMMs.pde in Dev_trunk as 
well.
