[Paparazzi-devel] Need help with connecting airplane to Paparazzi!

[Brian Chang]

Hi everyone, we're a student group from UCSD working with Paparazzi, in
order to have a Multiplex Mentor model plane to take temperature data
around our campus for sensor footprints. We're basically complete
novices when it comes to this; we've had to self-learn it and the
instruction manual we received for Paparazzi didn't help us solve our
problems.

Our goal right now isn't to fly the plane, but just to have the plane
connected to the computer so we can read the data given by Paparazzi
(relating to the Attitude (pitch/roll/yaw, etc.)). We're just "walking"
the plane around campus; with Paparazzi we want to be able to
compensate for temperature differences when the plane is tilted at
different orientations.

Basically, right now we were able to establish a Plane-to-Computer
connection (it does say "USB Device Found" in Paparazzi Center).
However, when we execute a session the error that's shown in the
screenshot occurs. And basically, we're stuck after that, and we've
been stuck for a few weeks. Does anyone know what we're missing, or what the vital links are?

We have tried messing with the Airframe and Flight Plan files and trying to get the serial device to be ttys0 instead, but that didn't work. =(

Thanks for reading, and we appreciate any help we can get!
