From: Arun Sajeevan Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] We Need A Good Manual Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:43:53 +0530 Hello Team Paparazzi, Our paparazzi board has finally arrived from the PPZUAV and except for the cutting and slicing of packages by the customs people, a big "THANK YOU" to David and his team for the timely delivery. Now as we start our project we really are in search of a good manual for building the project from scratch. The paparazzi group, I believe is in need of an exhaustive manual which can not only be helpful to the users, but also make this product more user-friendly to the public. As of now the present manual (can anyone sent me the full document?) does not give me a good insight of my board (Tiny in my case) or any of the avionics and communicatn devices associated with it. I think other than the Wiki, we need to write a new manual so that beginners (like us) can have almost a plug and play feeling for the Papparazzi boards. Now when I say a manual, it does not mean we have to mention the Paparazzi project from scratch but just all the parts and its assembly, the HIL and SWIL simulations. As we are a university project team, we can volunteer the task of documenting our entire process as a user - friendly manual. I hereby request all the paparazzi members to kindly pool in your experiences and advises into this venture. To start with, can somebody give me the full list of parts(including the cables and other wires) that we need other than those that comes with Tiny Bundle. Kindly tell me all those that needs to be known to setup the board for a SWIL and HIL simulation. Regards, Arun Sajeevan
From: Reto Büttner Subject: Re: [Paparazzi-devel] We Need A Good Manual Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:16:35 +0200 Hello Arun, I think the Wiki and the users manual give a good starting point: http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Overview http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Getting_Started http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki_images/Users_manual.pdf Probabely it is better to continue enhancing the Wiki than to write a separate manual. There already have been several seperate descriptions of users, like: http://www.rescuerobotics.com.au/getting-started-with-linux-and-the-paparazzi-ground-control-station http://wiki.ppzuav.com/groups/paparazzi/wiki/2cd57/Getting_started.html They tend not to to be updated after being written. The best place for up-to-date information is the Wiki. Maybe you want to enhance the following chapter with a complete parts list: http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Getting_Started#Autopilot Have fun with paparazzi and I hope you can go flying soon!

One needs to spend some time to read the documentation on the wiki and understand the system to make it work. It takes time but there is no workaround. From my experience, there is all the information one needs in the wiki to be succesfull.
From: Arun Sajeevan Subject: Re: [Paparazzi-devel] We Need A Good Manual Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:31:44 +0530 Hello All, Thankyou so much for those replies. Now we are fully convinced about the non-requirement of a manual. We will document our processes in a seperate wiki page where all Paparazzi members are welcome to pool in. Can some body tell me where I can get some good tutorials for learning the basics of OCAML? And a very basic question : What are the purposes of the FTDI board and ppm encoder? Thanking you once again for the support.
