Running CAMS (Tutorial)¶

This tutorial will teach you how to run the CAMS GUI with a simple scenario in simulation mode.

• Table of contents
• Running CAMS (Tutorial)
  • Accessing the files for a simulated cloud environment
  • Scenario setup

First of all, make sure you successfully completed the Installation (Developer) tutorial. Then, open a terminal and change the current directory to the folder where the core packages are installed.

Accessing the files for a simulated cloud environment¶

In order to run CAMS in fully simulated mode first we need a mesoNH file describing a synthetic atmospheric environment.

The computer girofle at LAAS contains a disk with a mesoNH file that can be used with CAMS. You can use the command below to mount the folder:

sshfs girofle.laas.fr:/media/Nephelae-Data/data/Nephelae/ mesonh_girofle_mount/

If you are at LAAS with a ethernet connection network with a high-bandwith low-lattency you can use directly the mounted folder,

If not,

Scenario setup¶

Scenario configuration files describe the atmospheric environment and the UAVs managed by CAMS. A valid configuration file is required to run the graphical interface server.

There are dedicated tutorial and reference guide wiki pages for scenario configuration, but for an initial run let's use a simple file.
