Simple GPS guided vehicle
I'm trying to familiarize myself with ROS by doing simple DIY projects with the hardware I have. The goal is try to get a mobile base to navigate a direct/straight path from point A to point B where Point A&B are marked GPS coordinates (waypoints?). The sensors I have are GPS/AHRS sensors. I looked into the tutorials for ROS navigation for a while before realizing that the stack needs sensor streams from LaserScans or PointClouds.
I dont have any range sensors, and at this point I'm not too worried about obstacle avoidance. I have the GPS/AHRS sensor working independently in ROS and I'm trying to merge this all together with my motor controller. Is there anyway I can use the navigation package without a laser/range sensor? Is there an alternative package that I use to do navigate a direct path from point A to point B? Or, can I somehow use the navigation package with a simple usbcam instead?
Hey Is there any link that you can share to connect bebop to GPS in ros and set waypoints
