Hi Max
Variables are accessible easily by setting them in a settings file.
This is a really dodgy way of doing it but for a quick trial I would put the variables you want to access in the
settings file, run a simulation, open ivy_probe then change the variables you want to change in the GCS and watch what commands the GCS sends on ivy_probe..... again it's a really dodgy way of doing it...
Second way is to make a module that receives telemetry commands and sets variables for you. Also probably just as quick....
I haven't got an ubuntu machine on me at the moment to check but I am pretty sure if you are flying in a "heading" flightplan block and change the course_setpoint (Or what ever the variable name is called) you should be able to tell paparazzi where to
go...

Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] Commanding h_ctl_course_setpoint and v_ctl_altitude_setpoint directly
Friends,
I was wondering if there is any information/documentation on how to command course_setpoint and altitude_setpoint directly, bypassing the navigation loop? We are working on an alternate fligh-planning / top-level navigation software and would like to drive the lower-level ap loops directly from it via Ivy bus messages. One thought was to move a waypoint via MOVE_WAYPOINT message, but this would introduce some redundancy in the use of the Paparazzi navigation loop.
Many thanks,
Max
