[Paparazzi-devel] Need help, does anyone use IRC anymore, or am I just using it wrong?

[Ben Despain]

I have successfully uploaded the microjet airframe to my self-made Tiny 1.1, but I can't get any confirmation that any actual data communication is happening after that.  I'm using a USB cable to upload the airframe, then unplugging the Tiny, then plugging it back in, then plugging in the USB to the computer again. 

Here's what I get when I click "EXECUTE" in the paparazzi center:

Run '/home/ben/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/tmtc/link  -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 57600'
Run '/home/ben/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/tmtc/server '
Run '/home/ben/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs '
Failure("Error opening modem serial device : fd < 0 (/dev/ttyUSB0)")
Broadcasting on network 127.255.255.255, port 2010

DONE (exec /home/ben/paparazzi/sw/ground_segment/tmtc/link  -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 57600 2>&1)


So, in trying to just get some communication back and forth I wired up my Aerocomm 4790 and when I have it plugged in, it will at least not give me the Failure("Error opening modem serial device : fd < 0 (/dev/ttyUSB0)") error, but, I don't seen any evidence of actual communication... the GCS is just black and there are not messages.


I can also get the failure to go away if I plug in my flashing FTDI cable.. (the one I used to flash the bootloader), but still, no evidence of communication.

Any ideas on how to debug this?


Thanks very much in advance for any hints!
