hi,
i'm following the tutorial for the first flight using starmac-ros-pkg.
What can i do for launch the simulation and control the quadrotor from keyboard?
after that, i need also to simulate the quadrotor on Gazebo.
Hi Maurizio,
You need active the "soft_yoystick" in the argument of the sim.launch, so do:
roslaunch simulated_quadrotor sim.launch dummy_joystick:=false soft_joystick:=true (or change de defaults values)
CAUTION: You need the version 0.1.0 of the starmac pakage, so you don't make "$ hg update -r version-0.0.1" in the installation. After that, you'll be able see a joystick in your monitor. I hope that works!!
I think that the starmac package doesn't work directly in Gazebo. But I am not sure, sorry.
thanks Rikki!! now it works, i have some incongruence with the soft joystick and the tutorial, but it works. thanks!!
HI!
1) Look at this line:
"line 10, in <module> from PySide.QtCore import QThread ImportError: No module named PySide.QtCore process"
You need to install the Pyside packages (qtcore and gui). I think that you can find that in Synaptic searching "pyside".
2) DO: roslaunch simulated_quadrotor sim.launch dummy_joystick:=false soft_joystick:=true show_plots:=false (sorry, I forgot that)
3) And don't worry for this error: [1322215686.212243982]: XML Document "/home/mauro/ros_workspace/starmac-ros-pkg/starmac_common/starmac_tools/nodelets.xml" had no Root Element. This likely means the XML is malformed or missing.
I don't know why fail this node, however the programe run well.
4) For Gazebo you need create a URDF robot, but I don't know if you can modificate the starmac package for that, sorry.
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH AND GOOD LUCK :)
hey Rikki, i followed your answer, but i have same errors.
