This page describes the process of Assembling a Lisa on an Asctec frame with Asctec X-BL motor controllers and motors, from assembly to the first flight.
Assembly
Connectors
- USART3 Spektrum RC sattelite
- USART2 telemetry modem or PC
Compiling STM32 firmware
make AIRCRAFT=LISA_ASCTEC clean_ac ap.compile
Flashing STM32 firmware
make AIRCRAFT=LISA_ASCTEC ap.upload
Testing telemetry
Start the paparazzi program launcher:
./paparazzi
Now you have to start a series of programs.
datalink
Connects the air network with the ground network. In our case it takes the serial data from USART2 and translates them to network packets.
link -d /dev/ttyUSB1 -s 57600
messages & realtime plotter
This program is a "sniffer" it displays the packets going around on the ground network and displays them as numbers. You also may want to start the realtime plotter. You can drag values from the messages window into the realtime plotter to plot the data as a curve over time.
settings & server
Settings allows you to view configuration values on the vehicle. If you want to change any of them you will also need to start server that dispatches the data and transfers them to the vehicle. You need to tell the settings program what vehicle you are using:
settings -ac LISA_ASCTEC
GCS
Last but not least you may want to start the GroundControlSoftware where you can view and control the autonomous flight data.
Spektrum Satellite Receiver
If Lisa doesn't seem to be receiving from your Spektrum receiver, check
#define RC_SPK_SYNC_2 0x12
in 'sw/airborne/booz/radio_control/booz_radio_control_spektrum_dx7se.h'. The Joby receiver's second sync bit was actually 0x01.
To fix this without breaking it for other people, copy 'booz_radio_control_spektrum_dx7se.h' to 'booz_radio_control_spektrum_dx7se_YOURNAME.h' and edit the sync bit value. Copy 'conf/autopilot/subsystems/booz2_radio_control_spektrum.makefile' to 'conf/autopilot/subsystems/booz2_radio_control_spektrum_YOURNAME.makefile' and edit it to point at the new header file. Then edit the aircraft config file to point at the new makefile.
