Airplane Setup

List of items needed to get a new plane up and running:

• Install LCM
• git clone flight repo
• rename "flight" to "realtime"
• Install opencv (for example, sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev)
• Install-mavconn / mavlink
• Install Pronto
• Install firefly-mv utils: https://github.com/andybarry/firefly-mv or https://github.com/nzjrs/firefly-mv
• Install libbot globally
• Setup timesync
• Add startup file to system startup
• Install prereqs: sudo apt-get install autotools-dev libasound2-dev openjdk-7-jre

Compiling

Change into the main directory (which you already renamed to "realtime"):

cd realtime

Build LCM types:

cd LCM
./build

Setup gtest:

cd ../externals/gtest
cmake .
make

Now go back to the main directory and build everything:

cd ../..
./build-all -j

Running

• Aircraft: bot-procman-sheriff -l $HOME/realtime/config/bot-procman-flight.cfg
• Desktop/simulation: bot-procman-sheriff -l $HOME/realtime/config/bot-procman-desktop.cfg
