Hallo everybody!
even if this thread is apparently closed I would
encourage anyone interested in GCS development
and/or in UAV<->GCS communication to give a look
to OpenJaus (http://www.openjaus.com/).
I personally think that Paparazzi already have a
good GCS and reliable protocol but IMHO keeping
in touch with the efforts of creating a standard it's
never a bad idea.
bye by[t]e{s}...
TuX!

Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] Thoughts about the GCS I have been observing the communication on the development board with
regards to the future Paparazzi GCS development and the OCaml programming
language.
I have my deepest respect for the work Pascal has done on the GCS and
Paparazzi in general. Now that we have lost him I gradually start to comprehend
the enormous hole he has left behind and the implications of using a programming
language for the GCS that is not widely adopted.
As I understand the basic problem for future Paparazzi GCS development is
the lack of OCaml programming skills that are present in the community. At the
same time in the worldwide open source UAV communities there is a stronger and
stronger desire for defining open standards for UAV <-> GCS communication
and provide an open GCS development platform. Is there a common solution
to both problems?
I do not know! However, while surfing the internet I came across
the QGroundControl from
the PixHawk team that tries to
provide open standards and a general UAV GCS (everything written in GPL-ed
C++ Qt framework). I
understand there would be quite a lot of work to transition the Paparazzi system
to another GCS (reintegrate communication protocol, rewrite the generation of
control parameters from the airframe file, etc.). But maybe in the long run the
Paparazzi community and open source UAV communities in general could benefit
from using a common GCS development platform.
I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about the future Paparazzi
GCS development options.
Thank you and kind regards,
Marko
