== Radiotronix Modem: ==

The picture of the "WI232EUR Modem" is a bit misleading because on the 8 Pin Molex the red cable (+ Pole) connects to 5 V on the Tiny. But the Modem is driven via 3.3V (one pin to the left).

Furthermore i do not have to disconnect the two Pins RTS and CTS on the ground station as writen in note 1 and 2.

Speech

Jan:

==Speech==

The [[GCS]] is able to provide the messages of the console via the speakers by starting with the option -speech. Therefore a few more packages have to be installed and configured.
The following Instruction is made for Ubuntu 8.04 but should work also on other OS.

===1. Packages Installation===
Install festival, spech-dispatcher and speech-dispatcher-festival packages, if not already installed 
===2. Konfiguration===
edit festival.conf in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/ and change or uncomment the following lines: 
# Address where the Festival server runs (you have to 
# have a Festival server running, please see documentation). 
 
FestivalServerHost "localhost" 
FestivalServerPort 1314 
 
FestivalAudioOutputMethod "alsa" 
 
further edit speechd.conf in /etc/speech-dispatcher/ 

 
Port 6560 
 
#AddModule "espeak" "sd_espeak" "espeak.conf" 
AddModule "festival" "sd_festival" "festival.conf" 
#AddModule "flite" "sd_flite" "flite.conf" 
#AddModule "espeak-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-generic.conf" 
#AddModule "epos-generic" "sd_generic" "epos-generic.conf" 
#AddModule "dtk-generic" "sd_generic" "dtk-generic.conf" 
#AddModule "ibmtts" "sd_ibmtts" "ibmtts.conf" 
#AddModule "cicero" "sd_cicero" "cicero.conf" 
 
DefaultModule festival 
 
#LanguageDefaultModule "en" "espeak" 
LanguageDefaultModule "en" "festival" 
#LanguageDefaultModule "cs" "festival" 
#LanguageDefaultModule "es" "festival" 
 

===3. Starting the applications/servers===
Type in the command window: 
<tt>festival --server 
sudo /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher -restart</tt> 
and there you go! (Hopefully)

GCS Configuration

2008-07-17T18:05:48Z

Jan: /* Configuration Options */

== Control Panel ==
The control panel is launched with the following command:
<tt>./sw/supervision/paparazzi.pl</tt>
and is used to launch individual portions of the GCS (''Programs'') or the entire GCS (''Sessions'') with the modem and map settings defined in <tt>/conf/control_panel.xml</tt>

===Configuration Options===

Here are the different Configuration Options for launching the GCS. They are a bit crude since they are simply pasted here from the code. 
"-auto_ortho", Arg.Set auto_ortho, "IGN tiles path"; 
"-b", Arg.String (fun x -> ivy_bus := x), "Bus\tDefault is 127.255.255.25:2010"; 
"-center", Arg.Set_string center, "Initial map center (e.g. 'WGS84 43.605 1.443')"; 
"-center_ac", Arg.Set auto_center_new_ac, "Centers the map on any new A/C"; 
"-edit", Arg.Unit (fun () -> edit := true; layout_file := "editor.xml"), "Flight plan editor"; 
"-fullscreen", Arg.Set fullscreen, "Fullscreen window"; 
"-google_fill", Arg.Set GM.auto, "Google maps auto fill"; 
"-ign", Arg.String (fun s -> ign:=true; IGN.data_path := s), "IGN tiles path"; 
"-lambertIIe", Arg.Unit (fun () -> projection:=G.LambertIIe),"Switch to LambertIIe projection"; 
"-layout", Arg.Set_string layout_file, (sprintf "<XML layout specification> GUI layout. Default: %s" !layout_file); 
"-m", Arg.String (fun x -> map_files := x :: !map_files), "Map XML description file"; 
"-maximize", Arg.Set maximize, "Maximize window"; 
"-mercator", Arg.Unit (fun () -> projection:=G.Mercator),"Switch to (Google Maps) Mercator projection, default"; 
"-mplayer", Arg.Set_string mplayer, "Launch mplayer with the given argument as X plugin"; 
"-no_alarm", Arg.Set no_alarm, "Disables alarm page"; 
"-no_google_http", Arg.Set Gm.no_http, "Switch off Google Maps downloading"; 
"-ortho", Arg.Set_string get_bdortho, "IGN tiles path"; 
"-particules", Arg.Set display_particules, "Display particules"; 
"-plugin", Arg.Set_string plugin_window, "External X application (launched with the id of the plugin window as argument)"; 
"-ref", Arg.Set_string geo_ref, "Geographic ref (e.g. 'WGS84 43.605 1.443')"; 
"-[[speech]]", Arg.Set Speech.active, "Enable vocal messages"; 
"-srtm", Arg.Set srtm, "Enable SRTM elevation display"; 
"-track_size", Arg.Set_int Live.track_size, (sprintf "Default track length (%d)" !Live.track_size); 
"-utm", Arg.Unit (fun () -> projection:=G.UTM),"Switch to UTM local projection"; 
"-wid", Arg.String (fun s -> wid := Some (Int32.of_string s)), "<window id> Id of an existing window to be attached to"; 
"-zoom", Arg.Set_float zoom, "Initial zoom"; 

=== Video plugin ===

The <tt>-mplayer</tt> option of GCS allows to the user to display a video stream in a window of the GCS. The video window can also be exchanged with the map by clicking anywhere inside the frame.
Use the following line in your <tt>/conf/control_panel.xml</tt> to enable the video window.
<tt>path_to_ground_segment/cockpit/gcs -mplayer rtsp://localhost:7070/video</tt>

== Layout ==
The layout of the different components (map, strips, ...) of the gcs is configurable through a ''style'' XML file located in <tt>conf/gcs/</tt>. The specification is done via a combination of rows and columns. The default layout is given in the <tt>horizontal.xml</tt> file:
<tt><!DOCTYPE layout SYSTEM "layout.dtd">
<layout width="1024" height="768">
<rows>
<widget size="500" name="map2d"/>
<columns>
<rows size="350">
<widget size="120" name="strips"/>
<widget name="alarms"/>
</rows>
<widget size="400" name="aircraft"/>
<widget size="00" name="plugin"/>
</columns>
</rows>
</layout></tt>

Default size ('''1024x768''') of the whole window is specified in the root of the tree. The window is then divided in two rows:
* the <tt>map2d</tt> with a requested height of '''500'''
* a set of columns containing
** a set of rows of width '''350''' divided into
**: the '''strips''' frame of height '''120'''
**: the '''alarms''' frame
** the notebook frame ('''aircraft''') of width '''400'''
** the video plugin frame

This second example (<tt>left_col.xml</tt>) sets the map and the notebook on the right and the other frames in a left column:
<tt><!DOCTYPE layout SYSTEM "layout.dtd">
<layout width="1024" height="768">
<columns>
<rows size="360">
<widget size="120" name="strips"/>
<widget size="300" name="plugin"/>
<widget name="alarms"/>
</rows>
<rows>
<widget name="map2d"/>
<widget name="aircraft"/>
</rows>
</columns>
</layout></tt>

This layout file is chosen with the <tt>-layout</tt> option:
<tt>path_to_ground_segment/cockpit/gcs -layout left_col.xml</tt>
