This site will explain a way, how to use a AMSYS pressure sensor - AMS 5812 Series.

==Addressing==
At first you have to be sure, you've programmed the right I2C address on the sensor chip. <br>
To do this, you can use a programmer device named “AMS 5812 starter kit“ which comes with all the software you need.
http://www.amsys.info/sheets/usersguide_I2C_AMG_rev1.GB.pdf

===Paparazzi addresses===
I2C Addresses:
The default address of every AMSYS chip is F0 and it is always reachable, even if you've programmed a other one.

The default addresses defined in the paparazzi driver are:
*Baro: 0xE4
*Airspeed: 0xE8

You can change them and many othe sensor specific data in the files:
*/sw/airborne/modules/sensors/baro_amsys.c
*sw/airborne/modules/sensors/airspeed_amsys.c

===AMSYS addresses===
The „AMS 5812 starter kit“ software does not use the first bit of the address. <br>
If you want to know more see:<br>
http://www.amsys.info/sheets/amsys.en.ams5812_e.pdf<br>
Because of this you have to program the sensor chips with this addresses:
*Baro: 0x72
*Airspeed: 0x74

==Airframe==
This is an expample to define the module in the airframe.

<source lang="xml">
<firmware name="fixedwing">
...
<define name="USE_I2C0"/>
<define name="USE_AIRSPEED"/>
...
</firmware>

<modules>
<load name="airspeed_amsys.xml">
<define name="AIRSPEED_SCALE" value="1."/>
<define name="AIRSPEED_FILTER" value="0.902000010014"/>
</load>
<load name="baro_amsys.xml">
<define name="BARO_FILTER" value="0."/>
</load>
</modules>
</source>

USE_AIRSPEED is only needed if you want to control your plane's speed by true airspeed.

This is the calculation which should explain the usage of AIRSPEED_SCALE <br>
sqrtf(2*(pressure_amsys)*airspeed_scale/1.2041);

1.2041 is the value of the air density.

AIRSPEED_FILTER and BARO_FILTER are values of an TP1 filter:
<source lang="c">
airspeed_amsys = airspeed_filter * airspeed_old + (1 - airspeed_filter) * airspeed_tmp;
airspeed_old = airspeed_amsys;
</source>

The AMSYS Baro driver is only written to measure the hight not to use it as an flight variable.

Advanced Navigation Routines

2013-06-28T14:42:02Z

Tobi:

== [http://www.engr.usu.edu/wiki/index.php/OSAM OSAM Team] Navigation Routines ==
To use these navigation routines, you need to change the navigation subsystem type to extra in your airframe file. The navigation extra subsystem includes extra navigation routines like OSAMnav, spiral, poly_survey_advanced, nav_cube, etc.
<subsystem name="navigation" type="extra"/>

Also include OSAMNav.h in your flight plan:

#include "subsystems/navigation/OSAMNav.h"

=== Flower ===
[[Image:FlowerScreenShot.png|thumb|Screen shot of flower routine]]
The flower navigation routine flies the aircraft in a flower pattern defined by two waypoints. The center waypoint defines the center of the flower and the altitude the plane flies at. The edge waypoint defines the radius of the flower.

In our example the waypoints are called "Center" and "Edge":

<waypoint name="Center" x="-20.0" y="-160.0"/>
<waypoint name="Edge" x="-10.0" y="-60.0"/>

Then you can add flower to your flight plan:

<block name="Flower">
<call fun="InitializeFlower(WP_Center,WP_Edge)"/>
<call fun="FlowerNav()"/>
</block>

Note that in the function InitializeFlower the waypoints need the prefix "WP_".

=== Bungee Takeoff ===
The bungee takeoff routine helps to automate takeoff by turning the throttle on after the bungee has been release from the hook. The only waypoint you need for this routine is the position of where the bungee is pegged to the ground. Using this waypoint, a line is drawn from the position of the aircraft to the bungee waypoint. This line is called the launch line and will stop updating once the speed of the plane exceeds the MinSpeed. This allows the user to initialize the routine, move the plane and launch it without having to reinitialize. Once the plane is launched, it will follow the launch line until it crosses the throttle line. The throttle line is a line perpendicular to the launch line at a distance d from the bungee waypoint (see the diagram below). When the plane crosses the throttle line and the speed of the aircraft is greater than MinSpeed, the throttle comes on. After the throttle comes on, the plane keeps going straight until it reaches a specified speed and altitude above the bungee waypoint altitude. When it reaches the takeoff speed and takeoff altitude, the next block in the flight plan is executed. The takeoff speed, takeoff altitude, MinSpeed and the distance d from the bungee waypoint are specified in the airframe file. You will need to add those values to your airframe file like this...

<section name="Takeoff" prefix="Takeoff_">
<define name="Height" value="30" unit="m"/>
<define name="Speed" value="15" unit="m/s"/>
<define name="Distance" value="3" unit="m"/>
<define name="MinSpeed" value="5" unit="m/s"/>
</section>

You can add the bungee takeoff routine to your flight plan like so...

<block name="Takeoff" strip_button="Takeoff (wp CLIMB)" strip_icon="takeoff.png">
<call fun="InitializeBungeeTakeoff(WP_Bungee)"/>
<call fun="BungeeTakeoff()"/>
</block>

To get this routine to work consistantly, you will need to tune the values in the airframe config file. If the prop doesn't automatically turn on when it crosses the throttle line, it could be because the Distance and/or the MinSpeed are too big. If it turns on to early, it could be because the Distance and/or MinSpeed are too small.

<span style="color:#ff0000"> ***Precaution should be taken while tuning the auto takeoff. If the MinSpeed is too low, the prop could turn on while holding the aircraft!***</span>

=== Polygon Survey ===
==== Explanation ====
With this navigation routine, an aircraft can survey the area of any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_polygon convex polygon] given an entry point, the number of waypoints which define the polygon, the sweep width and the desired orientation of the sweeps.

The entry point is the first corner of the polygon and the point at which the aircraft will begin surveying the area. When in the entry state, the aircraft will circle around the entry point in order to smoothly transition into the first sweep. The aircraft will also keep circling around the entry point until it gets to the waypoint altitude. After the first sweep is made, the direction of the next sweep is determined by the distance of the entry point to the edges of the polygon. If there is more area above the first sweep, the aircraft will sweep up. If there is more area below the first sweep, the aircraft will sweep down.

The aircraft will keep sweeping back and forth until it reaches the end of the polygon. At this point, the aircraft will sweep back up/down the polygon halfway in between the sweeps previously made by the aircraft (just like the rectangle survey function). The aircraft will keep sweeping up and down the polygon unless the user manually exits the block or unless an exception is used ([[#Exceptions|see below]]).

The orientation of the sweeps can ranges from north south to east west and any where in between (-90 <-> 90 degrees respectively). The side of the polygon the aircraft starts on (ex. north or south) is determined by the side of the polygon the entry point is located.

<gallery>
Image:PolySurveySweepDef.png|Sweep Definition
Image:PolySurveyEntryPic.png|Entry Point
Image:PolySurveySweepBack.png|Sweeping Back
</gallery>

==== Implementation ====
You can add this navigation routine in your flight plan like so...

<block name="Poly Survey">
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, NumOfCorners, SweepWidth, Orientation)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

The parameters are the entry waypoint, the number of waypoints in the polygon, the sweep width (meters), and the desired orientation of the sweeps (degrees). The maximum number of waypoints a polygon can have is currently ten (can be changed in the code). If the number of waypoints in the polygon exceeds the maximum number, the routine will exit and move to the next block in the flight plan. The routine will also exit if the orientation is not between -90 and 90 degrees.

Here is an example of how you should declare each of the corners of the polygon.

<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="S1" x="-546.2" y="297.4"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S2" x="-129.8" y="744.1"/>
<waypoint alt="1553.0" name="_S3" x="1030.5" y="535.5"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S4" x="523.0" y="-236.7"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S5" x="-285.9" y="-255.7"/>

S1 is the entry waypoint and the first corner. The other corners should be in order clockwise or counter clockwise around the polygon. Even though this group of waypoints must be declared together, where the group appears in the list of waypoints doesn't matter.

If you want the edges of the polygon to show up on the GCS, you can also declare the polygon as a sector. This is not required to run the routine.

<sectors>
<sector name="PolySector">
<corner name="S1"/>
<corner name="_S2"/>
<corner name="_S3"/>
<corner name="_S4"/>
<corner name="_S5"/>
</sector>
</sectors>

Image:PolySurvey30DegreeEx.png|30 Degrees
Image:PolySurvey65DegreeEx.png|65 Degrees
Image:PolySurvey90DegreeEx.png|90 Degrees
</gallery>

==== Alternative configurations ====
If you are wanting to start and stop the Poly Survey this is possible by splitting the Poly Survey code above into the initialization routine and the execution routine. You might want to do this if you are searching for something inside the Poly Survey, think you have found it and then realized you haven't, so you want to continue the survey (not restart it). Using the example above, but with the initialisation and execution code separate:

<block name="Init Poly Survey">
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, NumOfCorners, SweepWidth, Orientation)"/>
</block>

<block name="Execute Poly Survey">
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

==== Exceptions ====
There are a couple of built in variables which can be used to exit the routine with an exception. PolySurveySweepNum gives the number of sweeps the aircraft has made and PolySurveySweepBackNum gives the number of times the aircraft has gotten to the bottom of the polygon and swept back. The first example would deroute the aircraft to standby after the aircraft made it's second sweep. The second example would deroute the aircraft to standby before it starts to sweep back up the polygon for the first time.

<block name="Poly Survey">
<exception cond="PolySurveySweepNum >= 2" deroute="Standby"/>
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, 5, 200, 45)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

<block name="Poly Survey">
<exception cond="PolySurveySweepBackNum >= 1" deroute="Standby"/>
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, 5, 200, 45)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

=== Flight Line ===
The Flight Line Routine allows the user to map/follow one dimensional areas of interest like roads and rivers. Given two waypoints, the routine will automatically transition into the flight line to ensure full coverage between the waypoints. In addition, distances before and after the flight line can be used to add extra security to the coverage.

[[Image:OSAMFlightLineDiagram.png|Flight Line Diagram]]

To use this navigation routine, you need to include OSAMNav.h in your flight plan and OSAMNav.c to your airframe file. Then add this navigation routine in your flight plan like so...

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R1,WP_R2,nav_radius,distance_before,distance_after)"/>
</block>

Multiple flight lines can be daisy chained by reusing waypoints as shown below...

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R1,WP_R2,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R2,WP_R3,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R3,WP_R4,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R5,WP_R6,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<deroute block="Standby"/>
</block>

However, the previous block can also be implemented using the FlightLineBlock function. The FlightLineBlock function works the same as the FlightLine function except it automatically steps through the waypoints between the given waypoints. Make sure the waypoints are declared in order or else it won't work!

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLineBlock(WP_R1,WP_R6,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<deroute block="Standby"/>
</block>

== misc ==

=== border_line ===

border_line is a nav-routine pretty similar to the nav-line-routine. You can use this nav-routine whenever you want to take care your plane stays on a defined site of a border.
For example you can use this routine to fly along a mountain and always turn away from the wall or you can fly along a road/border without penetrating one site.

Use "extra" navigation subsystem with:
<subsystem name="navigation" type="extra"/>

If you want to use waypoint 1 and 2 you can add border_line in your flight plan like this:
* Include header in "header" section at the beginning
#include "subsystems/navigation/border_line.h"
* Add function in a flight plan block:
<block group="extra_pattern" name="border line">
<call fun="border_line_init()"/>
<call fun="border_line(WP_1, WP_2, -nav_radius)"/>
</block>

=== gls (gps landing system) ===

- defined glide path angle

- in flight changeable landing direction without loosing the glide path angle!

- smooth intercept independent of approach angle or wind

- seperation of approach fix, start decent and top of decent

- with fix target speed (in airspeed mode only)

how to setup your airframe.xml:

<section name="GLS_APPROACH" prefix="APP_">
<define name="ANGLE" value="5" unit="deg"/>
<define name="INTERCEPT_RATE" value="0.624"/>
<define name="DISTANCE_AF_SD" value="20"/>
<define name="TARGET_SPEED" value="14"/>
</section>

ANGLE - angle from TOD to TD

DISTANCE_AF_SD - minimum distance (meter) between AF and SD to allow the plane to self stabilize before the intercept starts (e.g. for speed reduction)

You can set the landing direction by moving the approach fix (AF) in relation to the touch down point (TD).
If you try to set the AF close to the TD you will see how the top of decent (TOD) and start decent (SD) is calculated and if necessary the AF is moved backwards.
(please try in simulation)

TARGET_SPEED - desired airspeed from AF to TD

INTERCEPT_RATE -

e.g. no wind: TARGET_SPEED = 14m/s and ANGLE = 10 --> desired decent rate 2.5 m/s (speed * tan(ANGLE))

with an INTERCEPT_RATE of 0.624 m/s/s it will take 4s to intercept the final approach path (desired decent rate / intercept_rate)

the idea is that the INTERCEPT_RATE is unique to each plane and will not change with different approach angles

to find an appropriate value you can start with a lower (to match 8s for example) and increase it until the intercept will be made from above

in general: bigger plane - smaller value!

how to setup your flightplan.xml:

<waypoints>
<waypoint height="150" name="AF" x="-260.6" y="-344.6"/>
<waypoint name="SD" x="-1600." y="-36."/>
<waypoint name="TOD" x="-1600." y="-36."/>
<waypoint height="0.0" name="TD" x="-27.2" y="-243.5"/>
<waypoint height="266.0" name="_BASELEG" x="-1652.1" y="-113.5"/>
</waypoints>

<block name="land">
<call fun="gls_init(WP_AF,WP_SD, WP_TOD, WP_TD)"/>
<call fun="nav_compute_baseleg(WP_AF, WP_TD, WP__BASELEG, nav_radius)"/>
<circle radius="nav_radius" until="NavCircleCount() > 0.5" wp="_BASELEG"/>
<circle radius="nav_radius" until="And(NavQdrCloseTo(DegOfRad(baseleg_out_qdr)-(nav_radius/fabs(nav_radius))*10),
10 > fabs(GetPosAlt() - WaypointAlt(WP__BASELEG)))" wp="_BASELEG"/>
</block>

<block name="final">
<exception cond="ground_alt + 10 > estimator_z" deroute="flare"/>
<call fun="gls(WP_AF,WP_SD, WP_TOD, WP_TD)"/>
</block>

those pictures match the old gls routine! anyway - the new one is not much different... (POS I = SD)

You can add this navigation routine in your flight plan like so...

<block name="Poly Survey">

The routine will also exit if the orientation is not between -90 and 90 degrees.

Here is an example of how you should declare each of the corners of the polygon.

If you want to use waypoint 1 and 2 you can add border_line in your flight plan like this:

<block group="extra_pattern" name="border line">
<call fun="border_line_init()"/>
<call fun="border_line(WP_1, WP_2, -nav_radius)"/>
</block>

=== gls (gps landing system) ===

an additional landing routine

- defined glide path angle

- in flight changeable landing direction without loosing the glide path angle!

- smooth intercept

- seperation of approach fix and top of decent

- with fix target speed (in airspeed mode only)

You can choose the landing direction by moving the approach fix (AF) in relation to the touch down point (TD).
If you try to set the AF near the TD you will see how the top of decent (TOD) is calculated and if necessary the AF is moved backwards.
(please try in simulation)

possible parameters in airframe.xml:

<define name="APP_ANGLE" value="5" unit="deg"/>
<define name="APP_INTERCEPT_AF_TOD" value="100"/>
<define name="APP_TARGET_SPEED" value="13"/>

how to use in flightplan.xml:

<block name="land">
<call fun="gls_init(WP_AF, WP_TOD, WP_TD)"/>
<call fun="nav_compute_baseleg(WP_AF, WP_TD, WP__BASELEG, nav_radius)"/>
<circle radius="nav_radius" until="NavCircleCount() > 0.5" wp="_BASELEG"/>
<circle radius="nav_radius" until="And(NavQdrCloseTo(DegOfRad(baseleg_out_qdr)-(nav_radius/fabs(nav_radius))*10),
10 > fabs(estimator_z - WaypointAlt(WP__BASELEG)))" wp="_BASELEG"/>
</block>

<block name="final">

Advanced Navigation Routines

2012-01-26T10:02:46Z

Tobi:

== [http://www.engr.usu.edu/wiki/index.php/OSAM OSAM Team] Navigation Routines ==
To use these navigation routines, you need to change the navigation subsystem type to extra in your airframe file. The navigation extra subsystem includes extra navigation routines like OSAMnav, spiral, poly_survey_advanced, nav_cube, etc.
<subsystem name="navigation" type="extra"/>

Also include OSAMNav.h in your flight plan:

#include "subsystems/navigation/OSAMNav.h"

=== Flower ===
[[Image:FlowerScreenShot.png|thumb|Screen shot of flower routine]]
The flower navigation routine flies the aircraft in a flower pattern defined by two waypoints. The center waypoint defines the center of the flower and the altitude the plane flies at. The edge waypoint defines the radius of the flower.

In our example the waypoints are called "Center" and "Edge":

<waypoint name="Center" x="-20.0" y="-160.0"/>
<waypoint name="Edge" x="-10.0" y="-60.0"/>

Then you can add flower to your flight plan:

<block name="Flower">
<call fun="InitializeFlower(WP_Center,WP_Edge)"/>
<call fun="FlowerNav()"/>
</block>

Note that in the function InitializeFlower the waypoints need the prefix "WP_".

=== Bungee Takeoff ===
The bungee takeoff routine helps to automate takeoff by turning the throttle on after the bungee has been release from the hook. The only waypoint you need for this routine is the position of where the bungee is pegged to the ground. Using this waypoint, a line is drawn from the position of the aircraft to the bungee waypoint. This line is called the launch line and will stop updating once the speed of the plane exceeds the MinSpeed. This allows the user to initialize the routine, move the plane and launch it without having to reinitialize. Once the plane is launched, it will follow the launch line until it crosses the throttle line. The throttle line is a line perpendicular to the launch line at a distance d from the bungee waypoint (see the diagram below). When the plane crosses the throttle line and the speed of the aircraft is greater than MinSpeed, the throttle comes on. After the throttle comes on, the plane keeps going straight until it reaches a specified speed and altitude above the bungee waypoint altitude. When it reaches the takeoff speed and takeoff altitude, the next block in the flight plan is executed. The takeoff speed, takeoff altitude, MinSpeed and the distance d from the bungee waypoint are specified in the airframe file. You will need to add those values to your airframe file like this...

<section name="Takeoff" prefix="Takeoff_">
<define name="Height" value="30" unit="m"/>
<define name="Speed" value="15" unit="m/s"/>
<define name="Distance" value="3" unit="m"/>
<define name="MinSpeed" value="5" unit="m/s"/>
</section>

You can add the bungee takeoff routine to your flight plan like so...

<block name="Takeoff" strip_button="Takeoff (wp CLIMB)" strip_icon="takeoff.png">
<call fun="InitializeBungeeTakeoff(WP_Bungee)"/>
<call fun="BungeeTakeoff()"/>
</block>

To get this routine to work consistantly, you will need to tune the values in the airframe config file. If the prop doesn't automatically turn on when it crosses the throttle line, it could be because the Distance and/or the MinSpeed are too big. If it turns on to early, it could be because the Distance and/or MinSpeed are too small.

<span style="color:#ff0000"> ***Precaution should be taken while tuning the auto takeoff. If the MinSpeed is too low, the prop could turn on while holding the aircraft!***</span>

=== Polygon Survey ===
==== Explanation ====
With this navigation routine, an aircraft can survey the area of any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_polygon convex polygon] given an entry point, the number of waypoints which define the polygon, the sweep width and the desired orientation of the sweeps.

The entry point is the first corner of the polygon and the point at which the aircraft will begin surveying the area. When in the entry state, the aircraft will circle around the entry point in order to smoothly transition into the first sweep. The aircraft will also keep circling around the entry point until it gets to the waypoint altitude. After the first sweep is made, the direction of the next sweep is determined by the distance of the entry point to the edges of the polygon. If there is more area above the first sweep, the aircraft will sweep up. If there is more area below the first sweep, the aircraft will sweep down.

The aircraft will keep sweeping back and forth until it reaches the end of the polygon. At this point, the aircraft will sweep back up/down the polygon halfway in between the sweeps previously made by the aircraft (just like the rectangle survey function). The aircraft will keep sweeping up and down the polygon unless the user manually exits the block or unless an exception is used ([[#Exceptions|see below]]).

The orientation of the sweeps can ranges from north south to east west and any where in between (-90 <-> 90 degrees respectively). The side of the polygon the aircraft starts on (ex. north or south) is determined by the side of the polygon the entry point is located.

<gallery>
Image:PolySurveySweepDef.png|Sweep Definition
Image:PolySurveyEntryPic.png|Entry Point
Image:PolySurveySweepBack.png|Sweeping Back
</gallery>

==== Implementation ====
You can add this navigation routine in your flight plan like so...

<block name="Poly Survey">
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, NumOfCorners, SweepWidth, Orientation)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

The parameters are the entry waypoint, the number of waypoints in the polygon, the sweep width (meters), and the desired orientation of the sweeps (degrees). The maximum number of waypoints a polygon can have is currently ten (can be changed in the code). If the number of waypoints in the polygon exceeds the maximum number, the routine will exit and move to the next block in the flight plan. The routine will also exit if the orientation is not between -90 and 90 degrees.

Here is an example of how you should declare each of the corners of the polygon.

<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="S1" x="-546.2" y="297.4"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S2" x="-129.8" y="744.1"/>
<waypoint alt="1553.0" name="_S3" x="1030.5" y="535.5"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S4" x="523.0" y="-236.7"/>
<waypoint alt="1453.0" name="_S5" x="-285.9" y="-255.7"/>

S1 is the entry waypoint and the first corner. The other corners should be in order clockwise or counter clockwise around the polygon. Even though this group of waypoints must be declared together, where the group appears in the list of waypoints doesn't matter.

If you want the edges of the polygon to show up on the GCS, you can also declare the polygon as a sector. This is not required to run the routine.

<sectors>
<sector name="PolySector">
<corner name="S1"/>
<corner name="_S2"/>
<corner name="_S3"/>
<corner name="_S4"/>
<corner name="_S5"/>
</sector>
</sectors>

<gallery caption="A Range of Different Sweep Orientations">

Image:PolySurvey30DegreeEx.png|30 Degrees
Image:PolySurvey65DegreeEx.png|65 Degrees
Image:PolySurvey90DegreeEx.png|90 Degrees
</gallery>

==== Alternative configurations ====
If you are wanting to start and stop the Poly Survey this is possible by splitting the Poly Survey code above into the initialization routine and the execution routine. You might want to do this if you are searching for something inside the Poly Survey, think you have found it and then realized you haven't, so you want to continue the survey (not restart it). Using the example above, but with the initialisation and execution code separate:

<block name="Init Poly Survey">
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, NumOfCorners, SweepWidth, Orientation)"/>
</block>

<block name="Execute Poly Survey">
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

==== Exceptions ====
There are a couple of built in variables which can be used to exit the routine with an exception. PolySurveySweepNum gives the number of sweeps the aircraft has made and PolySurveySweepBackNum gives the number of times the aircraft has gotten to the bottom of the polygon and swept back. The first example would deroute the aircraft to standby after the aircraft made it's second sweep. The second example would deroute the aircraft to standby before it starts to sweep back up the polygon for the first time.

<block name="Poly Survey">
<exception cond="PolySurveySweepNum >= 2" deroute="Standby"/>
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, 5, 200, 45)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

<block name="Poly Survey">
<exception cond="PolySurveySweepBackNum >= 1" deroute="Standby"/>
<call fun="InitializePolygonSurvey(WP_S1, 5, 200, 45)"/>
<call fun="PolygonSurvey()"/>
</block>

=== Flight Line ===
The Flight Line Routine allows the user to map/follow one dimensional areas of interest like roads and rivers. Given two waypoints, the routine will automatically transition into the flight line to ensure full coverage between the waypoints. In addition, distances before and after the flight line can be used to add extra security to the coverage.

[[Image:OSAMFlightLineDiagram.png|Flight Line Diagram]]

To use this navigation routine, you need to include OSAMNav.h in your flight plan and OSAMNav.c to your airframe file. Then add this navigation routine in your flight plan like so...

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R1,WP_R2,nav_radius,distance_before,distance_after)"/>
</block>

Multiple flight lines can be daisy chained by reusing waypoints as shown below...

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R1,WP_R2,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R2,WP_R3,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R3,WP_R4,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<call fun="FlightLine(WP_R5,WP_R6,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<deroute block="Standby"/>
</block>

However, the previous block can also be implemented using the FlightLineBlock function. The FlightLineBlock function works the same as the FlightLine function except it automatically steps through the waypoints between the given waypoints. Make sure the waypoints are declared in order or else it won't work!

<block name="Map River">
<call fun="FlightLineBlock(WP_R1,WP_R6,nav_radius,100,100)"/>
<deroute block="Standby"/>
</block>

Tobi: /* Configuration Options */

== Paparazzi Center ==
The paparazzi center is launched with the following command:
<tt>./sw/supervision/paparazzicenter</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><b>/conf/control_panel.xml</b></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 but give a good overview.<br>
"-auto_ortho", Arg.Set auto_ortho, "IGN tiles path";
"-b", Arg.String (fun x -> ivy_bus := x),(sprintf "<ivy bus> Default is %s" !ivy_bus);

"-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";

"-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>
A useful example follows:
If you have an Avermedia DVB-T usb tuner like the Aver-Tv Hybrid Volar HX (Avermedia finally released Ubuntu Linux drivers)
then in order to use the usb tuner as video input to the GCS you have to complete the following steps:

First download and install the drivers and check that the Usb tuner works well by opening a console window
and typing:

'''mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=NTSC:input=1:device=/dev/video1:noaudio'''

Of course you must connect a video signal to the composite input first.
Then close the console and remove the Usb tuner.
Now it is time to configure the control_panel.xml file by editing the GCS command line.
Locate the line in the "control_panel.xml" usually located in /Your Paparazzi directory/conf/ (mine is in "/paparazzi/conf/")
that looks similar to the below line:

'''<program name="GCS" command="sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs -layout horizontal.xml">'''

Then edit it so it looks like this:

'''<program name="GCS" command="sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs -layout horizontal.xml -mplayer 'tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=NTSC:input=1:device=/dev/video1:alsa:adevice=hw.2,0:amode=1:audiorate=48000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0'">'''

The above line is one complete and uninterrupted line but it is just too long to show it in one line here.
(There is a space after the"-tv" like this "-mplayer 'tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:...." but nowhere else after that).
This will load the mplayer, select the composite video input of the tuner and enable the sound input.
Please remember to change the "NTSC" with "PAL" if you do not use the NTSC video system (if your airborne camera is PAL for example).
Read the mplayer documentation so you can tweak the resolution etc. later to suit your particular setup.
The resolution above is set to 320x240 here but you can set it to 640x480 by replacing the numbers in the command line above.

Finally you have to add the plugin widget to your GCS layout configuration file.
If you noticed the GCS command line in the "control_panel.xml" file, a part of it reads "-layout horizontal.xml"
so our configuration file is the "horizontal.xml" which is located always in "/Your Paparazzi directory/conf/gcs/"
(mine is in "/paparazzi/conf/gcs/").
Open the file and add or uncomment the below line (in "horizontal.xml" the plugin widget is there but commented out):

'''<widget NAME="plugin" SIZE="300"/>'''

Now the file should look like this:

'''
<rows>
<widget size="500" name="map2d"/>
<columns>
<rows size="375">
<widget size="200" name="strips"/>
</rows>
<widget size="400" name="aircraft"/>
<widget name="alarms"/>
<widget NAME="plugin" SIZE="300"/>
</columns>
</rows>
'''

All the above work fine in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but probably the same method should work fine on different versions too.

== 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>

Please remember to change the "NTSC" with "PAL" if you do not use the NTSC video system (if your airborne camera is PAL for example).
Read the mplayer documentation so you can tweak the resolution etc. later to suit your particular setup.
The resolution above is set to 320x240 here but you can set it to 640x480 by replacing the numbers in the command line above.

Finally you have to add the plugin widget to your GCS layout configuration file.
If you noticed the GCS command line in the "control_panel.xml" file, a part of it reads "-layout horizontal.xml"
so our configuration file is the "horizontal.xml" which is located always in "/Your Paparazzi directory/conf/gcs/"
(mine is in "/paparazzi/conf/gcs/").
Open the file and add or uncomment the below line (in "horizontal.xml" the plugin widget is there but commented out):

'''<widget NAME="plugin" SIZE="300"/>'''

Now the file should look like this:

'''
<rows>
<widget size="500" name="map2d"/>
<columns>
<rows size="375">
<widget size="200" name="strips"/>
</rows>
<widget size="400" name="aircraft"/>
<widget name="alarms"/>
<widget NAME="plugin" SIZE="300"/>
</columns>
</rows>
'''

All the above work fine in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but probably the same method should work fine on different versions too.

== 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>
