RE: bad link. I think that somehow that post got marked as private (I could see it when logged in), even though it appeared to be marked public. I saved it again as public and it is now visible to me when logged out, so it should be visible to you, too. Can you check?
Thanks for all the replies. Definetly stuff to go on.
Chris - All that I'm trying to say (but not very clearly) is if you had a playback device that used the GPS port on the autopilot to simulate actual movement the autopilot would be working on the coords you input for course. There would be no other simulator involved just "real" gps information for the autopilot to react to. I had asked if anyone has developed a device that simulates gps by actually connecting the way the actual gps device does. My thought is this would show you how the drone would react to off course, loiter loop, loss of signal... but w/out any other connections (just the autopilot reacting the way it's programmed).
I have used simulators before, just not in this realm and to me I see that there is a difference between software and hardware simulators.
Too bad about the firmware problem... I guess I shouldn't have been too hasty about snaooing up the first two units.
I will look into the AVR programmer or ship tkem back to Sparkfun once I contact them for an RMA number.
Comments
The specific one on adding waypoints, including altitude, is here.
btw - The link is bad for me too
BTW, this is called a "hardware in the loop" simulation, which means that the real autopilot is reacting to simulated sensor data.
