[Paparazzi-devel] GCS blank screen

[Matheus Siqueira Barros]

Hi there, 
We keep getting blank screens on our GCS, it seems to be a common problem so we have seen some suggestions, most of them from Felix, 

Here they are:
- Udev Rules Copied (Checked)
- Cables (Checked via Range test on X-CTU witch is working proprerly with the same cables and almost the same settings - the only difference is that we have to set our ATCI in 12 for test purpose)

- Settings (Pan ID are the same and everything else seems to be correct and were double checked already)
- Baundrates (the same for both 57600.)

So the 2 things that are not 100% checked cause we don´t know excty how to check are:

Airframe File (I will send it with this email in case anyone want to take a look)
Ground Modem Recognition by our PC (I don´t know how to perform this test - it mighty be a good advice already if anyone explain how can I do it)

Our System:
2x - XBee Pro S2, xbp24
1x - PPZUAV FTDI Board
1x - Lisa/L 1.1
1x - IMU Aspirin
Ubuntu 10.10
Fixed-wing Airplane

Paparazzi Center Configuration:
Airframe File attached
Flight Plan -> flight_plan/basic.xml (no modifications)

Settings -> settings/lisa.xml (no modifications)
                 settings/tuning_basic_ins.xml (no modifications)
Radio -> radios/cockpitSX.xml (no modifications)
Telemetry -> telemetry/default_fixedwing_imu.xml (no modifications)


Sorry about the big detailed message, Thanks vm.
