"Hi @NA, @MarkusWhile developping it we encountered a situation that may be similar to your problem:When the UAV was attempting to make a yaw turn (either in manual or auto mode), it started to wobble with an increasing amplitude until it fell on the…"

"Hi Cybernemo,
If you are using the wall_follow branch of ardupilot, can you try the following launch command:
sim_vehicle.sh -v ArduCopter -f Gazebo -r empty_world -L Annecy --console --map"

"Hi @MathieuIn this plugin we did not use kbteleop, in all scenes with manual control the joystick was plugged in MissionPlanner on a 2nd laptop.So in teleop.launch we commented the joystick node line.I have not tried kpteleop. But for keyboard…"

"Hi @Hamish Willee
Thanks for your interest, yes we will update the Gazebo page that Alex did. Maxime and I are a bit in a rush these days, that is why we answer a bit slowly to messages.
We will certainly need help for wiki accesses, but before we…"

"@GeoracerGazebo uses the physic engine ODE (and now also Bullet, Dart), which is perfect for computing collisions and joints between 2 parts (hinge, slider, etc., with friction or not, ...). Although joints are not very useful in the case of…"

Hi Sj !
We finished at last :-) (better late than never)
We posted it on DIY with a video : New ArduPilot plugin for Gazebo
In the message there are github links to the source code.
However there is not yet the link to the DroneAPI python…"

"@everyone
Thank you very much for your support :-)"

"@TridgeThanks :-)Indeed the parachute will now allow easier checks of the well-behavior of the EKF when the copter is disarmed but still in mid-air.Although every parachute releases in the video were commanded manually from the ground station, it is…"

"@GeoracerI have heard of last_letter but have not tried it yet. Yesterday I looked a bit at your code, and it is impressive! You did an enormous work! I really liked your detailed equations for electric motor propulsion, your implementation of a…"

"@Sj
For the moment I am working on the interface between ArduCopter and ROS/Gazebo. I'll propose my code on Ardupilot's github soon (maybe within 2 weeks). Since I do not have my hands on an Odroid I have not yet looked at dronekit.
The ROS/Gazebo…"

"Patrick,
Sorry I cannot help you with the HIL mode.
Maybe you can try to post your questions on the APM forum
About the "Connection Refused", "sleeping" message, I am unable to pinpoint the source of the problem without more infos/debug. And since…"

"@Sj
Unfortunately not yet, or at least nothing published on it.
And the ROS/Gazebo simulation for ArduCopter is still under development.

Nevertheless when the dronekit-python will be incorporated in the simulation, it will indeed be awesome."

"Good evening Patrick,Sorry for not getting back to you about your message from the 14th sept.I think I understand what you are trying to do.However I have not heard of anyone yet attempting HITL with Gazebo as simulator.And I have not tried out yet…"

"Alejandro,I just published a small commit on the scripts (minor addition for Linux users who skip the step_2). Let me know if the scripts ran smoothly or if you encountered any problem.At the beginning I was using VMware on Windows. But like you…"

"Patrick,
Maybe you did not run into the same problem, but to be able to run the gazebo_iris_outdoor_world.launch simulation, I had to follow the hacks from :
https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/issues/1683
Because Gazebo could not locate the heightmap…"

"Good morning everyone,

Like you I think the Gazebo simulation is an excellent idea, so I followed the ardupilot dev wiki page on it.
While most of it is exact, there are a few commands missing, and for the moment it requires Alex Buyval's version…"
