Welcome to the INS GUI Software for Linux User Guide, your go-to resource for running and utilizing the Inertial Navigation System (INS) graphical user interface (GUI) on Linux platforms. This guide provides clear and detailed instructions to help you seamlessly install, configure, and operate the software on your Linux system.
Designed for both beginners and advanced users, this manual ensures you can maximize the software’s functionality, offering a user-friendly interface for real-time monitoring, data visualization, and configuration of your INS device.
Whether using the software for precision navigation, system diagnostics, or data analysis, this guide covers everything you need—from installation prerequisites to troubleshooting tips. Let’s get started and ensure you get the most out of your INS experience on Linux.
The INS GUI for Linux works only for Ubuntu versions up to 22.04. These instructions apply to the INS GUI on Linux, not the regular INS GUI on Windows.
- Start Linux Terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)
- Navigate to the folder where the software is located.
- Make the executable permission for the INS GUI .exe file by using the following command:
chmod +x INS_GUI- The FTDI virtual COM port drive is built into the Linux Kernel. When you connect the INS device using the Serial-to-USB connector to the PC, the COM port will appear as /dev/ttyUSBx (can be ttyUSB0). Please check that you have read/write permission for ttyUSB0. If you cannot set them, please type the following command:
sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/ttyUSB0- Run the INS_GUI by typing / INS_GUI in the terminal or double-click the INS_GUI icon.
- Go to “Options” ->”Test options” in the GUI and set the serial port that you determined in step 2 (ttyUSB0).
- The INS GUI is ready for operation.
