[Paparazzi-devel] pan-tilt camera control

[refik]

Hello,

 

We are trying to control a pan-tilt camera. We added the lines in http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Pan_Tilt_Camera

 to our Aircraft.xml file to the right place.

 

<section name="CAM" prefix="CAM_">

   <define name="TILT_MAX"      value="30" unit="deg"/>

   <define name="TILT_NEUTRAL"  value="0" unit="deg"/>

   <define name="TILT_MIN"      value="-30"  unit="deg"/>

   <define name="TILT0"        value="0" unit="deg"/>

 

   <define name="PAN_MAX"     value="45" unit="deg"/>

   <define name="PAN_NEUTRAL" value="0" unit="deg"/>

   <define name="PAN_MIN"     value="-45"  unit="deg"/>

   <define name="PAN0"          value="0" unit="deg"/>

 </section>

 

<modules main_freq="60">

   <load name="cam_point.xml">

     <define name="POINT_CAM_PITCH_ROLL"  value="1"/>

     <define name="SHOW_CAM_COORDINATES" value="1"/>

   </load>

 </modules>

 

 

It gives  an error duing build but when  “unit="deg" “ parts are removed, it builds successfully. It seems that the wiki must be updated.

Now we have 2 questions:

1.       How can we change the X_Y targets during flight?

 

2.       We want to control the camera with a menu (button,...) on GCS simulation window. We want to send commands through uart or i2c port.
How can we add new buttons for camera control on GCS simulation window ? How can we add these commands to the datalink?

Cheers,

Refik
