how to install latest cognifly from code?

[lida2003]

Well, I'm tring to install cognifly on my RPI (Google AIY board), which pre-installed with AIY Kits Release 2021-04-02.

When I try to use latest code, I found it's quite difficult for me to install or run the program.

Since all docs are linked to install version 0.3.1 (released version).

a) readme-installation suggests using version 0.3.1 from https://pypi.org/project/cognifly/
b) git code - setup.py also suggests using version 0.3.1 from https://github.com/thecognifly/cognifly-python/archive/refs/tags/v0.3.1.tar.gz

Is there any guide or links available for me to run from the souce code? Which might have pip scripts to install a basic environment, including YAMSPy?

BTW, YAMSPy which branch should I use yb/stable?

The issue is that you are trying to install the version that is currently under development, the documentation is not yet available. It should be in 2 weeks or so, though, as yb/stable will be pulled to master.

In the meantime, yes, you first need to install the yb/stable branch of Yamspy and INAV 6. Then you will need my current .txt configuration file, hold on.

Is there any setup.py script that can use following commands:

# python3 setup.py build
# python3 setup.py install

Which build from git source code and install application to /usr/python/bin ?

PS: Current setup.py just download 0.3.1 released version and install to /usr/python/bin.

And i checked readme of yamspy, it suggest below commands. How to use my local git code (I don't have to brother which branch or git commit id I'm using.)

$ sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/ricardodeazambuja/yamspy --upgrade

[yannbouteiller]

No, for both yamspy and cognifly-python, you need to checkout the yb/stable branch, pull the last version, and install locally by executing pip install -e . where the setup.py file is.

[lida2003]

OK. It seems to be installed and cognifly-controller (sudo required)

I really curious about where yamspy is installed?

stable_inav6_config_custom_estimator.zip

Attached you can find my current configuration file. However, this one works with a custom estimator that overrides all sensors. To make it work without a custom estimator, you will need to go to inav-configurator and adapt the sensor configuration to your setting.

[lida2003]

Thanks.

[lida2003]

OK, Now I have time to test it.

I have oddicity 2.5inch frame with inav 6.0 firmware.

I'm NOT sure how to configure. Currently, I have serial0 GPIO14/15 connected to FC and configured MSP port.
schematis of raspberry pi ZERO W shows .

BUT I'm NOT sure about configurations in Modes tab:

1. arm channel
2. posHold/altHold/surface
3. Flight modes

[lida2003]

I notice the reminder:

# DEFAULT_CH5 = 1000  # DISARMED (1000) / ARMED (1800)
# DEFAULT_CH6 = 1500  # ANGLE (1000) / NAV_POSHOLD (1500) <= 1300: NAV ALTHOLD
# DEFAULT_CH7 = 1000  # FAILSAFE (1800)
# DEFAULT_CH8 = 1000  # HEADING HOLD (1800)

Quite confused about CH6, and please help to check is my setting on inav configurator is correct:

1. CH5,
   

2. CH6, I'm NOT sure, how to configure???
   

3. CH7,
   

4)CH8

[lida2003]

Or as code suggested:

DEFAULT_AUX2 = NAV_POSHOLD_MODE # Angle (1000) / NAV_ALTHOLD (1500) / NAV_POSHOLD (1800)
