GroundStation

My Flash based ground station is now up and running. I'm using Serproxy to connect Flash to the Serial Port and the Xbee radios. I have a simple command parser on the plane integrated with the the GPS parser so I can have 2 way comm over the single serial port. I can send basic WP commands or PI tuning values. GPS is collected and output as KML values through Copy and Paste.

    I'm running CS4 - you can download the latest Flash free for 30 days at Adobe.com

    I think the reason that I cannot load the FLA file into Flash8 may be due to the fact you are using OSX (I run Windows) - I get a "unrecognised file format" error every time I try to load the FLA file. I can read the code files OK, but the FLA will not load. BTW - what version FLASH are you running?

    I have a few for work. They are OK. not the brightest, but having a touch screen is nice. I'll bet you can buy one on ebay.

    I noticed in your serproxy cfg that another line is missing that I have in mine by default.

    # Transform newlines coming from the serial port into nils
    # true (e.g. if using Flash) or false
    newlines_to_nils=true

    Jason,

    Thanks for the effort! You know if you didn't make it look so attractive we wouldn't make so much work for you.

    Since you asked, my only want is as I posted above, drop the Google maps window and let the analog gauges shine!

    Thanks,

    Nathaniel
  • yea, I noticed my netport mistake. changed to 9. Telnet no rx yet
  • I just figured out why the GCS would not read the data from serproxy.

    I had also change the net_port3 settings (COM3 in my case) to = 5331.

    Now the GCS is reading pitch and roll data at least.
