Hi, I’ve been trying to set up ArduSub SITL with Gazebo to simulate some image processing code on my AUV. However the problem is in the ArduSub documantation (SITL · GitBook) the required plugins are said to only support Gazebo 7 or 8 that are both very tedious to install on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine. Is there any other version of gazebo that is supported by ArduSub SITL?
The ardupilot_gazebo plugin has been updated for Gazebo Garden. Gazebo Garden has binaries for Ubuntu 22.04 and built-in plugins for buoyancy, hydrodynamics and thrusters. See the project here: GitHub - ArduPilot/ardupilot_gazebo: Plugins and models for vehicle simulation in Gazebo Sim with ArduPilot SITL controllers
I built a model for the BlueROV2 running in Gazebo Garden here: GitHub - clydemcqueen/bluerov2_ignition: BlueROV2 model for Gazebo Garden
Let me know if you run into bugs.

Thank you so much for your answer. I believe it will work out well.
Hello,
I am trying to follow the links you sent as well. I am still on the first part of setting up gazebo garden and connecting it to ArduPilot and SITL. When trying to configure the environment variables, after I resource with the command “source ~/.bashrc”, I get
“bash: /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh: No such file or directory”
Do you know what exactly these errors are or any way to fix them? I am struggling to find useful information on line. Thank you

Update: It seems as long as I rerun the environment commands, I can get the demo to work before moving on to the bluerov models. However, the quadcopter models do not load into the sim, I just see green boxes in place of it. Have you encountered this before?

I haven’t worked on quatcopters so, unfortunately I haven’t encountered this issue before 
Thank you, I managed to fix it!
