TimHansen: VirtualBox

== IR Sensors connection Cable ==

Pay attention when connecting the IR-sensors: It's not allowed to exchange the ends of the cable. The pinout at the sensor board and the Tiny is different!

after that: [[Airframe_Configuration#Infrared]]

== uBlox GPS 5H ==
It is necessary to modify the airframe config-file ("-DGPS_USE_LATLONG") [[Airframe_Configuration#GPS]]

In the newer Airframe Config File this has to be:
<define name="GPS_USE_LATLONG"/>
in the firmware section otherwise you might get the error:
Invalid_argument("Latlong.of_utm")

[[User:Flixr|flixr]] 23:02, 28 December 2010 (CET) You do '''not''' have to add the define GPS_USE_LATLONG, just use the proper gps subsytem:
<subsystem name="gps" type="ublox_lea5h"/>

== Sound Output ==
I just found out, that the Ground Control Station can "speak" some messages. This is very useful for the battery low warnings:
[[Speech]]

== PPM Output ==
To activate the PPM Messages in the new airframe config insert:
<define name="TELEMETRY_MODE_FBW" value="1"/>
to the firmware section.

== Using Graupner MX-12 for paparazzi ==
The MX-12 has 6 channels but no 3 state switch. To use it together with paparazzi I used a trick. I used the integrated mixer to mix 2 switches together into 1 channel. One swiches Auto2 on and off. The other switches between Manual and Auto1. The mixer setup is as following:

MX 1: GEA -> GEA
OFFSET 0
0% -100%
SW AILE D/R

I hope that this is all that has to be done.

== VirtualBox ==
Using Paparazzi in VirtualBox under Windows:
* VirtualBox 4.1.12 for Windows hosts
* VirtualBox 4.1.12 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
* Debian Squeeze
* Turn on USB 2.0 in VirtualBox configuration
* Set a Filter for a USB Device (otherwise VirtualBox crashes)

TimHansen: changed "-restart" to "restart"

==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. Configuration===
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)
