parasect 0.10.0

Parasect

Welcome to Parasect, a utility for manipulating parameter sets for autopilots!

Features

Parasect has two-fold capabilities:

1. Compare two parameter sets and highlighting their differences.

2. Parsing from user-defined content and generating new parameter sets, ready for loading into an autopilot.

List of currently supported autopilots:

• PX4

Requirements

Parasect is a pure-Python project. Its requirements are managed by the Poetry dependency manager. When you install Parasect via pip its requirements will also be installed automatically.

Currently Parasect has been tested:

• in Continuous Integration servers for Ubuntu Linux, Windows and MacOS

• manually in Ubuntu Linux.

Installation

You can install Parasect via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install parasect

Usage

Parasect is primarily used as a command-line program. In its simplest form, two parameter files can be compared via:

$ parasect compare <FILE_1> <FILE_2>

The usage for building parameter sets is more involved. Please see the Command-line Reference for details.

Additionally, it exposes a minimal API, enabling automated operations. This is described in the API Reference.

It is strongly recommended that you read the Concepts that Parasect employs, if you plan to make full use of it.
