cFS Ground System Version 2.1.4
cFS Ground System Version 2.1.5

cFS Ground System Info:

The GroundSystem directory contains the new Ground System project for the cFS, that incorporates a main window to launch commands and telemetry systems, and other utilities like FDL/FUL and FT managers to send and receive files. The main window runs alongside the Routing Service (RoutingService.py). The Routing Service handles all incoming data and publishes(PUB-SUB) the data to specific zeroMQ channels, so that the different ground system utilities can receive(subscribe) only the desired data.

This ground system supports commanding and receiving telemetry from multiple spacecrafts using UDP.

The Ground System contains a main window that lets you launch the different utilities. To start receiving data from the cFS, you need to enable telemetry first. To enable telemetry, click the "Start Command System" button from the main window, then from the Command System Main Page click the "Enable Tlm" button (you will need to enter the target/destination IP address as an input to this command).

Note: The Main Window needs to be opened at all times so that the telemetry messages can be forwarded to the Telemetry System.

ADDING NEW FLIGHT SOFTWARE APPLICATION TO GROUND SYSTEM COMMAND GUI

This section was made to help developers who are adding core Flight Software (cFS) Applications to the Python-based Ground System that comes with this cFS distribution.
This section was made to help developers who are adding core Flight Software (cFS) Applications to the Python-based Ground System that comes with this cFS distribution.

The CHeaderParser.py program that should be found in: GroundSystem/Subsystems/cmdGui is an interactive, command line based program to help walk developers through the process of adding custom cFS applications to the Ground System. Along with CHeaderParser.py is a configuration file that CHeaderParser uses to find the proper header files for your "new" cFS application. This file is named 'CHeaderParser-hdr-paths.txt', and should be placed in the same directory as CHeaderParser.py.
