Simply Swap GPX for latest version?

Hi,

It looks like the version of GPX, which is bundled in with S3D is a 2.0 alpha.

Rather than disabling GPX in the profile, and then using the post processing commands to launch a different version of GPX, can I simply swap out the old with the new in the S3D folder?

Also, is there a way to see what parameters are being passed by S3D to GPX?

Thanks.

Michael

I use a Mac, and I have done exactly what you suggest (on a Mac though, the gpx executable is inside the app itself, not in a directory). But yes, it works.

If I remember correctly, it was only passing the -m option to specify the machine, as well as a file name.

I am not sure, but I think that the version they bundle is one built from this GitHub repo https://github.com/whpthomas/GPX .

There is a newer fork which fixes some bugs (in particular, the one that was bothering me was that gpx that simplify3d bundle is capping the HBP temperature at 120, not the 130 that the firmware uses) - https://github.com/markwal/GPX - this version is working well for me.

If you do use a Mac then I can help you out with a binary if you don't want to compile it yourself.

Cheers

Thanks, I'm running a PC, but I will just give it a try (copying the latest GPX to the folder) and see what happens.
