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.
