  • Yeah for the most part. Keep me updated on your progress as it seems like a good practice and tuning system for your autopilot.
  • The aim of the project is to run the autopilot on something like a beagleboard, so at the moment the autopilot code is running on the same machine as the simulator. Thus, there is no need to handle the serial data at this point. When I get there, I will probably use the C code from the FTDI driver pages to implement a FTDI serial driver (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm). Does that answer your question?
  • What type of source code are you using to run the serial data into the autopilot and the instructions back out? I have heard that some people are using Perl to do this. Do you have any reference material to the coding?
