Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Problem with Parrot AR Drone 2 and Flight Recorder

[Freek van Tienen]

Hello,

Are you trying to upload the SDK version?

And does the PFD(Primary Flight Display) in the GCS work? We currently are having some problems with the SDK version that it sometimes doesn't seem to get any navdata, and I think it has something to do with the internal socket connections. You could try to telnet and kill the ap.elf and run it trough telnet so that you can see the output. Then you can easily debug with some printf's. The quickfix for the navdata problem is to upload it a couple of times until it works.

PS. The GPS tab on the GCS doesn't work yet with the parrot GPS, because it isn't implemented yet. You need to look at the blocks next to the battery level, the lowest one should say either "NO FIX" or "3D FIX".

I asked on IRC and was advised to write here.

I just tried to get Paparazzi going with the Parrot and Flight
Recorder, and, in short, it doesn't work. I've not used Paparazzi
before, so I don't really know what to expect, so its hard for me to
know what to report here, but in short:

a) Uploads to the drone seem to work, I can telnet in and see that
ap.elf is running.

b) The map interface (GCS?) gets stuck in the "Wait GPS" state and
indeed the GPS tab shows nothing except "Pos accuracy: N/A".

c) The log claims the battery is critically low, but it was freshly charged.

What can I do to help diagnose/fix this (note: I can write code :-)?

Oh yes, I followed the directions here:
