Getting started with Arducopter and ROS

Posted by wng on May 27, 2012 at 10:21pm

Hi,

I've been learning ROS/Gazebo/Stage for a little bit and wanted to graduate to building an actual robot. The Arducopter looks like a good solution which appears to be ROS compatible. If I bought an Arducopter today, what do I need to do to have it interface with ROS? My end goal is to implement SLAM and planning algorithms using ROS and run them on the quadrotor.


Thanks.

    Was wondering if u wanted to test this out on rover platform ( ardurover). The complexity with rover platform is a bit lower compared to multicoptor platform. Jean has done some excellent work on rover recently, and do recollect someone else posting something similiar .....
