[Paparazzi-devel] NPS simulator changes

[Felix Ruess]

Hi guys,

in master we have merged some changes on how the NPS simulator communicates with the rest of the system (server, GCS, etc.) to remove some cruft and make it behave closer to the real thing:
https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/pull/1404

The NPS sim now sends and receives Paparazzi messages via UDP (instead of directly parsing messages on the IVY bus).

This means that when running the NPS sim you also need to have the data link running.

When you start a new Simulation session from the Paparazzi Center, link should be automatically started with the correct options.

If you start an aircraft simulation separately (either from the tools menu or directly from the commandline), you need to also start the data link (with appropriate parameters):

./sw/ground_segment/tmtc/link -udp -udp_broadcast

Cheers,

Your friendly neighbourhood Paparazzi Team
