Hey! I was wondering if someone could help me out setting up a simulation environment for testing missions or guided-mode dronekit python scripts. So far I understand that there is a SITL file in the install directory for ardusub. I was wondering what other components of this do I need to successf…

Hello, Sorry for taking so long to reply. I did a small documentation to help you with your simulation environment, this same documentation will be added in ardusub.com in the future. S.I.T.L (Software In The Loop) SITL is a simulator that allows you to run ArduSub without any hardware. It is a bu…

Hey, I really appreciate the help! So I’m trying to setup Gazebo but I keep running into low level problems. Particularly with building the freebuoyancy plugin. I cannot seem to find a version number for which that plugin was designed for. The cpp file in the src folder makes me think it is not the…

@patrickelectric I was referred to this page by a helpful person on the gazebo answers site: Gazebo : Tutorial : Which combination of ROS/Gazebo versions to use Not sure if these are easier/cleaner installations though I will try that soon. Should I go for gazebo 7 or 8? I also noticed that the fre…

Hi, Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was O.o.O in this last days. I did this tutorial with Gazebo 8. It’s necessary to have all versions of all necessary libraries compatible between them, and that’s a big pain to solve sometimes depending of the OS. What is the operating system that you are …

I have tried your tutorial on Ubuntu 16 Xenial and gazebo7 and was able to get gazebo linked with the SITL. I was not able to set waypoints and upload a mission to the rov but manual mode worked fine. Since you said you made the tutorial in gazebo8 I’ll try to set that up and see if I get the same s…

Hi, I was not able to set waypoints and upload a mission to the rov but manual mode worked fine. You should be able to create a mission without problems with QGC, this is a test that I did: Some points are not great because of the tunning. [Screenshot%20from%202017-12-21%2000-37-41] [Screens…

I did tests with ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, using Gazebo 7 and Gazebo 8, everything is working fine.

So I’m getting the following error when trying to upload a mission. I also attached my terminals in which I ran ardupilot and gazebo. This is on gazebo8 on Ubuntu 16.04 now. [image] [image]

This problem was solved in the last version of the QGC development branch. https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/pull/6718 QGroundControl maintains this download links to allow test and usage of the last updates in main code. Windows (QGroundControl-installer.exe) MAC OS (QGroundControl.dmg) …
