Neptus tips and tricks
Compiling Neptus in *buntu linux systems
Making a new vehicle type visible to Neptus Console
- In the Neptus folder, go to
vehicles-defs/ - Duplicate one of
.nvclfiles and edit it to fit the new vehicle. - The IMC id
<imc-id>2c:60</imc-id>must be made to correspond with the vehicles ID, configured in DUNE ini-file section[IMC Addresses]. If this is not done correctly, the vehicle will not appear in console. - Make a new console file to add in the
.nvclfile This can also be done by opening one of the included consoles and using save as to dublicate. The important part here is to set main vehicle to your new vehicle.
Make DUNE parameters available to Neptus, so they can be changed while on the fly
- Make parameter file from DUNE
./dune -c inifile -p Profile -X location_for_parameterfile
- Example:
./dune -c otter/basic -p Hardware -X .
