MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

test_mavros/README.md

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

test_mavros/README.md

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

test_mavros/README.md

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

test_mavros/README.md

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

test_mavros/README.md

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].

MAVROS test package

This package consists hand-tests with FCU SITL environment. I hope later we will do automatic tests too.

PX4 ROS SITL

Follow the instructions presented on [PX4 ROS SITL Setup][px4-sitl-wiki].

To test the simulation environment all you have to do is launch the proper ROS launch file. Right now, the current available one is iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch, which allows to test the offboard control routines of the Firmware, together with the MAVROS API.

Available tests

Offboard position and velocity control

Note: acceleration control still not supported on PX4 Firmware side.

Tested in launch files

iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Description

Allows testing the offboard control routines of the PX4 firmware by issuing setpoint commands through MAVROS plugins. Current test implements code to send:

position setpoints
velocity setpoints

The tests are implemented by issuing some kind of shaped path. Current shapes are:

square/rectangle
circle
eight
ellipse (3D)

How to use

To test the different behaviors, edit iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch. At the bottom of this file, you will find:

	<!-- SITL test base node launcher -->
    <arg name="mode" default="position" />    <!-- position ctl mode -->
    <arg name="shape" default="square" />    <!-- square shaped path -->

Just change the default value of them and issue roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch

Or, you can just issue the roslaunch passing the parameter values on the command line, p.e. roslaunch test_mavros iris_empty_world_offboard_ctl.launch mode:=position shape:=square.

TODO

Implement acceleration setpoint sending, when this is implemented on Firmware side
Give possibility to users to define the amplitude of movement
Implement a PID controller for velocity to avoid overshoots in the onboard controller

APM SITL

All what you need described in [ardupilot wiki][apm-sitl-wiki].
