Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GPS behavour after renaming subsystems to modules.

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Helge,

you are absolutely right, in v5.8 this define is still needed for fixedwings (which need UTM).

We only refactored and cleaned that up afterwards in v5.9...

Should be fixed with v5.8.1_stable-10-gc9a9340

Thanks a lot for finding and reporting this!

Cheers, Felix

Hi again, just an update.

I opened the file conf/modules/gps_ublox.xml and uncommented this line:
<define name="GPS_USE_LATLONG"/>

and then I got the ac and all waypoints on the screen/map ok.

Is this how it should be, or could it be something else in my setup?

Thanks, Helge.

Thank you for your response Felix,

I just made two builds where the difference is only "subsystem" or "module" in the declaration in the gps line in the airframe file. The two makefiles (attached) are renamed to tell one from the other.

The files are a bit different. It seems the "module" makefile contains the gps build lines, while the "subsystem" makefile refers to the conf/firmwares/subsystems/fixedwing/gps_ublox.makefile. The order of the files gps_ubx.c and gps.c seems to appear different in the two cases. I don't know if this is relevant to the trouble I experience.

I am a bit over my head in this, maybe I need to spend some time looking more deeply into this myself. I have added a couple of my own modules for imu and baro, but no gps stuff.

Thanks, Helge.

Hi Helge,

that sounds very strange, since if no module of that name is available it will just use the subsystem as before.

You can also see this if you look at the generated $PAPARAZZI_HOME/var/aircrafts/<acname>/Makefile.ac

Don't have any idea what the reason could be for different behavior right now...

Hi,

I am testing my airframe files after renaming subsystems to modules, and I get some problems with my GPS, which is a Navilock NL-552ettl. The GPS reports a fix in GCS, but the aircraft does not show up on the screen. The waypoints disappear from the screen one after the other after the fix is obtained.

In Paparazzi center, I repeatedly I get the message Invalid_argument("Latlong.of_utm").

When I build the aircraft with GPS as subsystem, I get this on the compiling list:
CC /home/helge/paparazzi/var/aircrafts/SKYWALKERHW_TWOG_V1_SEN10121_IMU/ap/subsystems/gps/gps_ubx.o
CC /home/helge/paparazzi/var/aircrafts/SKYWALKERHW_TWOG_V1_SEN10121_IMU/ap/subsystems/gps.o

When I build the aircraft with GPS named as module, the order of the two lines are reversed and I get this:
CC /home/helge/paparazzi/var/aircrafts/SKYWALKERHW_TWOG_V1_SEN10121_IMU/ap/subsystems/gps.o
CC /home/helge/paparazzi/var/aircrafts/SKYWALKERHW_TWOG_V1_SEN10121_IMU/ap/subsystems/gps/gps_ubx.o

With GPS as subsystem everything works normally.

I am on version v5.8.1_stable-4-gbc4bff1.
Below is the firmware part of my airframe file.

Thans for any help,

Helge.
