How to start mavelous #44

Closed pgiacalo closed 11 years ago

pgiacalo commented 11 years ago

Hi Guys, I just grabbed the latest version of mavelous but the browser isn't launching. I'm starting mavelous on a Mac with the following command.

python mavproxy.py --master=/dev/tty.usbserial-A4008qH4 --baud=57600 --module mavelous --aircraft=UDB

This command works fine with an older version of mavelous but not with the latest version. Is there a different command I should be using?

The console output looks like this when it works with the older version. Firefox then opens and displays the aircraft, map, etc.

bash-3.2$ cd ../../mavelous2/mavelous/ bash-3.2$ python mavproxy.py --master=/dev/cu.usbserial-A4008qH4 --baud=57600 --module mavelous --aircraft=UDB UDB/logs/2013-01-17/flight2 Logging to UDB/logs/2013-01-17/flight2/flight.log Loaded module mavelous GPS lock at 41 meters height 40 online system 251 component 1 Mode(0x000000d8)> Mode Mode(0x000000d8) Mode(0x000000d8)> fetching parameters

Here's the console output I see with the latest version. The problem is that Firefox never opens and I see gibberish printed out on the console.

bash-3.2$ python mavproxy.py --master=/dev/tty.usbserial-A4008qH4 --baud=57600 --module mavelous --aircraft=UDB UDB/logs/2013-01-17/flight3 Logging to UDB/logs/2013-01-17/flight3/flight.log Loaded module mavelous GPS lock at 37 meters height 40 online system 251 component 1 Mode(0x000000d8)> Mode Mode(0x000000d8) Mode(0x000000d8)> fetching parameters Received 63 parameters Saved 62 parameters to UDB/logs/2013-01-17/flight3/mav.parm 3@=<pO&C^&&K oK &^d=4uX]>;b3=UT<K

Thank you in advance for your help with this!

Hi Phil,

John removed the browser autolaunch a little bit ago. If this is something you do enjoy having, we could possibly add it as a mavlink console command.

Right, see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mavelous/0T3iCRLL-ZU/_tQF2xQ9B1IJ

In the shell running mavelous you should see the message "Mavelous is running at http://localhost:9999".

The reasoning was that it's pretty easy to open the browser window, and opening it automatically probably doesn't make sense if mavelous is running on a router, raspberry pi, phone, etc.

Thanks, guys. It's working as designed.
