Re: [Paparazzi-devel] paparazzi user edition?

[Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinrich Warmers]

Hello Wang,
Openpilot is using a Graphic software from NOKIA witch is free for private users but not GPL.
If this software is  used commercially  it cost  licensee.
Since Openpilot use the stm32 it is possible to make a port for the new and future  Paparzzi hardware.
There is also a interest to use the same RTOS  (FeeRTOS) with Paparazzi.
Also  the Diy Drones project will switch to 32 bit hardware next year.
Paparazzi is most used in the research field and has also same private users.
Since about 3-6 month are  necessary to jump into the structures to make own changes and improvements
this time is to large for the most  private users with no interest in informatics and software development..

Regards

Heinrich

hi

i have been flied as a user for about 4 years,begin in 2008. At that time the project was the only one open source UAV in the world. i was so excited flying with it. and 4 years has passed,now there are more open source UAV project, they are easier to use,has better UI, config pages that you can quickly config your airframe. 

paparazzi project has a more powerful code,so i think if we can develop an user edition to make paparazzi easier to use for beginners? i think the user edition will have these features:

1. better GCS UI, that have everything needed on one screen. you can view board/airplane condition here. as well as  multifunction PFD

2. support for MAVLINK.

3. airframe/board config pages. you can config most popular Fixwing/Multimotor/Heli by graphical interface

4. different language support.

i have some picture of the openpilot gcs(attached files).

is paparazzi user edition possible in the near future? if so, what can i do to help?

Cheers

Wang
