Hello everyone!! I am really glad some of the community members have been using the ROS2 extension ^-^ Based on some of the questions I’ve been getting, I added some extra feature to the extension :smiley: [extension_logo] The ROS2 extension now includes the following packages: MAVROS : Includ…

Hi! I have been using your original blueos-ros2 extension that launches MAVROS through Docker. I am having issues with sending RC commands. I can ARM/DISARM the vehicle through MAVROS, and can echo the MAVROS topics. However, I can’t seem to get the /mavros/rc/OverrideRCIn topic to do anything. My …

Yup, you need to change the sys id to 1. But also the fcu url is different on BlueOS, the extension launches mavros with the correct fcu_url, you shouldn’t have to change it :slight_smile:

Great! I have changed the SYSID. As I try and clone your repository using your commands provided online, I get an error when trying the fetch the mavros_control submodule path. Following it through GitHub too I find that it is not accessible. I am not sure if the issue is on my end? Thank you!

Hi @blutonomy , Thanks for reporting that; I fixed the submodule path in the repo :slight_smile:

Awesome! Glad you got it to work! ^-^

Hi @ItsKalvik , Can you tell me which version of the BlueOS does the ROS2 extension work?? Thank you in Advance

Hi! @Bibxi123 It works with any 64bit version of BlueOS. Mainly because ROS2 does not natively support 32bit systems. I recommend starting with BlueOS 1.4.2. Also, keep your eyes peeled for v0.0.3 of the plugin, it will include sonar and camera packages ^-^

Hi again! I am back looking at sending RC commands through ROS2. I am simply publishing commands like this through the terminal (inside the blueos-ros2 Docker extension): ros2 topic pub /mavros/rc/override mavros_msgs/msg/OverrideRCIn “{channels: [1600, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 0,…

@clyde The new version of the extension uses sysid 255 which is the same id used by QGC and Cockpit. If either of those applications are running alongside mavros, they will override the messages. You can either change the mavros config to use sysid 1 to resolve the issue or close the ground control…
