Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Ardrone2 Camera operation

[Felix Ruess]

The command in the ardrone2_gstreamer Makefie would probably be better changed to something like:

CROSS_COMPILER := $(shell which arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc || which arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc)

install:

sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

@echo Setting up with cross compiler $(CROSS_COMPILER)

sb2-init -c qemu-arm armv7 $(CROSS_COMPILER)

Cheers, Felix

Hi Oswald

I must thank you for a very helpful post.

Instruction #s were crucial.
5. vim ardrone2_gstreamer/Makefile
6. adjust path to arm-linux-gnueabi- cross compiler was key.

In my case: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Unfortunately, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS seems not to support:

13. execute the first command from [2]4), gst-launch playbin ...

ibva: VA-API version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.

Nonetheless, the alternate [2]4) command worked a treat.

hi, i just tested video streaming from the drone, using [1], [2]

1. cd sw/ext
2. git clone https://github.com/tudelft/ardrone2_vision.git
3. cd ardrone2_vision
4. sudo apt-get install scratchbox2
4a. make
4b. make pulls ardrone2_gstreamer submodule, then fails, ignore
5. vim ardrone2_gstreamer/Makefile
6. adjust path to arm-linux-gnueabi- cross compiler
7. make install
8. fails with configure error for libtool, ignore
9. make drone
10. uploads stuff
11. telnet drone
12. execute the /opt/arm/gst/... commandline from [2]3)
13. execute the first command from [2]4), gst-launch playbin ...

writing this, i now realize that the ardrone2_vision module
- contains actual gst plugin demos doing useful stuff with the vision
   input
- ardrone2_gstreamer just contains the drone-side gstreamer stuff for
   capturing and downstreaming

experienced something similar. when executing the flight plan with
joystick and input2ivy connected and running, the throttle will be taken
from the joystick while all the lateral commands come from the
flightplan. i guess its because we're in AUTO1, switching to AUTO2
should change this?

bst, opt
