We will use this thread to follow the Pypilot implementation on OpenPlotter.

Branch on OP repo to work on this: https://github.com/sailoog/openplotter/tree/pypilot

I get this error when I try to run pypilot/boatimu.py or any client or server script:


Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "boatimu.py", line 18, in <module>
   from signalk.pipeserver import NonBlockingPipe

ImportError: cannot import name linebuffer

There are no files on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pypilot-0.1-py2.7-linux-armv7l.egg/signalk/linebuffer

This is what I have done on a fresh OP 0.12.0:

Code:
sudo apt-get install swig python-numpy python-scipy python-serial python-gps python-PIL python-dev python-opengl

Then, I have modified your RTIMULib2 fork to avoid errors: https://github.com/seandepagnier/RTIMULi...ter:master

Code:
git clone https://github.com/openplotter/RTIMULib2
cd RTIMULib2/Linux
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..
cd RTIMULibDrive
make -j4
sudo make install
cd ..
cd RTIMULibDrive10
make -j4
sudo make install
cd ..
cd python
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install



Code:
sudo pip install pyglet pywavefront


Code:
git clone https://github.com/pypilot/pypilot
cd pypilot
sudo python setup.py install

Thanks for fixing the RTIMULib2 demos... I will try to integrate it.    Is it working ok with openplotter?
It might be nice to backport the changes from the mpu9255 to the mpu9250, or it should really share code.

Did you run "sudo python setup.py install" in the base pypilot directory?

Can you "import _linebuffer" ?


I need to clean up the way it adds packages.  I have not used python much before this project.
I suspect something strange, maybe you have setuptools vs distutil??

The linebuffering, nmea parsing, and a few other stuff is implemented in c for efficiency.

I have 
Code:
sean@odroid64:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages$ find | grep linebuffer
./signalk/linebuffer
./signalk/linebuffer/linebuffer.pyc
./signalk/linebuffer/__init__.py
./signalk/linebuffer/__init__.pyc
./signalk/linebuffer/linebuffer.py
./_linebuffer.so

It is not going into an egg.

also, not sure if "make install" from RTIMULib2 also executes "sudo python setup.py install" if not, you need to manually execute it... I added a few fields to the settings to allow modifying the kalman gains from python. They were not really tuned for the mpu9255, especially not for boat motion.

Well, I have not exactly fixed demos on RTIMULIb2, just disabled from compilation unused apps.

Yes, I ran "sudo python setup.py install" in the base pypilot directory but only worked after a second run. You have to do  "python setup.py build" before installing to fix this.

Now linebuffer is installed and boatimu.py working, this is the exit for my LSM9DS0 IMU:

Some issues:

LSM9DS0 IMU works great on boatimu.py but values with a MPU-9250 are really erratic. I have seen this before with RTIMULIb2 but after ellipsoid calibration values were right.

Folder /home/pi/.pypilot has to be created manually or you get errors on some tools when they try to create conf files.

autopilot_calibration.py shows a wx window with a empty black window and some buttons. This message is repeated "connect failed to pypilot:21311". It seems to me that it is trying to connect to the signalk server so I start signalk/server.py but I get the same result. If I am not wrong running boatimu.py should run also the signalk server but same result. When clicking IMU tab returns this error:
Code:

It seems that the 3d object "Vagabond.obj" is not found.


I think you should check the file names on README, There are files that I have not found because it seems that you renamed them.

Ok I have found the data for pypilot in a separate repo and added vagabond.obj and now the eeror on IMU tab is:

I have never used the lsm9ds0 imu. It should in theory work...

The 9250 is broken since I didn't backport the 9255 changes. The 9255 works great if you have one.

good point, I should fix this. You are the first to test Smile

The boatimu.py creates a server.

Try running signalk/client.py and maybe pass "localhost" as a parameter to once boatimu is running. You should be able to run "signalk/scope_wx.py localhost" as well for example. I need to fix the config. The idea is you have a config file that allows you to specify a default remote host for the server rather than passing it from the command line each time. I think it defaults to "pypilot" which won't resolve to anything unless you connect to the access point with the dns server on tinypilot...

The binaries files are in a separate repository "pypilot_data" I just put on github today.

Yes, sorry about this. It will get better... Thank you for testing.

Ah I forgot about this !!!

Just comment out line 103 in material.py or add
self.shininess = min(128, self.shininess)
just before it.

I think it's a bug in pywavefront

I am impressed....

I have switched to LSM9DS0 IMU (I am waiting for some MPU-9255).

Set {"host": "localhost"} on /home/pi/.pypilot/signalk.conf

Added self.shininess = min(128, self.shininess), before line 103 in material.py

Started boatimu.py

Started autopilot_calibration.py and wow...

   
   

I am still getting some errors but all seems to work right:

I have a million of questions about these settings but I can not keep testing today, I just wanted to say you congratulations. Thinking of how to apply now...

Yes, the servo calibration is obviously missing because you are running boatimu which doesn't command a servo like an actual autopilot implementation. You could try basic_autopilot, but it doesn't matter without an actual motor. You might just ignore this message.

Also... the calibration should have locked on.. Something is not working quite right. After a few minutes, the red sphere should fit the data points.

Ok to servo, this will be the next step.

Compass calibration. Today I am waiting for a MPU-9255, I will test again with this. Could this be the reason?

IMU calibration. I think all is working right. The field Model is disabled, what is the function of this field?
