Settings

2015-09-03T11:31:32Z

Russell: Updated some links to point at github

The grammar of the setting file is described in <tt>conf/settings/settings.dtd</tt>. It is a tree of named variables. Each variable is associated with a <tt>min</tt>, <tt>max</tt> and <tt>step</tt> attributes. These attributes are used to build the graphical interface of the settings page in the [[GCS]]. A simple entry looks like
<tt><dl_setting MAX="2" MIN="0" STEP="1" VAR="pprz_mode"></tt>
More attributes may be added:
* <tt>shortname="s"</tt> : <tt>s</tt> will replace the variable name for the label in the [[GCS]]
* <tt>module="m"</tt> : It specifies the file where the variable is coming from. A corresponding <tt>#include "m.h"</tt> will be generated in the corresponding C code.
* <tt>handler="h"</tt> : Specifies a macro to be called to do the setting. Associated with a module <tt>m</tt> the macro actually must be named <tt>m_h()</tt>

Buttons, packed in the strip in the [[GCS]], may be associated to variables. They are described as <tt>strip</tt> children elements of a <tt>dl_setting</tt> element.
<tt><dl_setting MAX="1" MIN="0.0" STEP="0.05" VAR="v_ctl_auto_throttle_cruise_throttle" shortname="cruise throttle" module="fw_v_ctl" handler="SetCruiseThrottle">
<strip_button name="Dash" value="1"/>
<strip_button name="Loiter" value="0.1"/>
<strip_button name="Cruise" value="0"/>
</dl_setting></tt>

For a prettier strip, an icon can be used for a strip button:
<tt><dl_setting MAX="200" MIN="-200" STEP="10" VAR="nav_radius" module="nav" handler="SetNavRadius">
<strip_button icon="circle-right.png" name="Circle right" value="1"/>
<strip_button icon="circle-left.png" name="Circle left" value="-1"/>
</dl_setting></tt>
The image file must be located in the <tt>data/pictures/gcs_icons</tt> directory.

Key accelerators can also be specified (using the GTK syntax to specify the keysym):
<tt><dl_setting MAX="200" MIN="-200" STEP="10" VAR="nav_radius" module="nav" handler="SetNavRadius">
<key_press key="greater" value="1"/>
<key_press key="less" value="-1"/>
<key_press key="F10" value="100"/>
</dl_setting></tt>

Some examples of settings files can be found in <tt>conf/settings</tt> ([https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/master/conf/settings/rotorcraft_basic.xml rotocraft_basic.xml] and [https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/master/conf/settings/fixedwing_basic.xml fixedwing_basic.xml]).
