MultiwiiEmulator

This is a badly done program to mimic a Multiwii flight controller, using the Multiwii Serial Potocol. However the communication is not well done, it doesnt read any answers, just spits messages every X milliseconds.

Setup

• Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install socat python-serial
  1. socat
  2. python-serial

Instalation

• Manual

  1. Download the Master branch from gitHub.
  2. Unzip.
  3. Execute socat (sudo sh socat.sh)
  4. Execute the program (python main.py)

• Git

  1. Download the repository (git clone https://github.com/Williangalvani/MultiwiiEmulator.git)
  2. Go inside the folder (cd MultiwiiEmulator)
  3. Execute socat (sudo sh socat.sh)
  4. Execute the program (python main.py)

How to use

The MultwiiEmulator will send data on /dev/ttyVirtual1, so connect your program with /dev/ttyVirtual2.

You can use the Willian's MultiwiiEmulator with the proVANT-groundstation to visualize the data.
