first I just want to say "hi" to everybody here.
I am working since a few month on a project to get the rover move autonomous through ROS. I wrote a node that sends a mavlink-message (set_roll_pitch_yaw_thrust) to my APM2. This is

I am attempting to use ArduRover to control a vehicle I have made using a 2x60 motor controller.
I am using the Sabertooth in RC mixed mode with linear response.
I can control the vehicle successfully in manual mode with my 9x.
When I setup some
