Testing with r821, still nothing works. I tested with roslaunch hector_quadrotor_gazebo quadrotor_empty_world.launch rosrun hector_quadrotor_controller test_trajectory The drone does not move in any direction. Also, via rxgraph, gazebo is connected to the correct topic. Edit: same with r814

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04; I installed from ROS binary repositories. Of note: plenty of other ROS and gazebo packages work great with this install and with cmd_vel. I checked out hector_quadrotor from svn and then ran rosmake on it.

I'm using the hector_quadrotor package, and tyring to simulate in gazebo. The simulated bot does not respond to commands over cmd_vel, from command line (rostopic pub), from a custom keyboard teleop node, or even from rosrun hector_quadrotor_controller test_trajectory.

I'm launching gazebo and spawning the drone using

$ roslaunch hector_gazebo_worlds rolling_landscape_120m.launch
$ roslaunch hector_quadrotor_gazebo spawn_quadrotor.launch

I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but help would be appreciated!

Edit: further tests show that cmd_vel does nothing with

$ roslaunch hector_quadrotor_gazebo quadrotor_empty_world.launch
$ rosrun hector_quadrotor_controller test_trajectory

either.

I'm not allowed to comment on the question, but I have the same problem. Fresh install of Ubuntu, and can't install ros-fuerte-desktop-full from packages.ros.org or from the uni-freiburg mirror.
