Wil Selby commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Using ROS Gazebo simulator with ArduCopter
"@Aurelien

Thanks for the installation scripts, really helped me get up and running on ROS quickly! I wanted to focus on path planning algorithms and SLAM so decided to extend the RotorS package with my own simulated control systems and hold off on…"

"Darius,

Apologize, I misread your earlier post.
I would recommend looking into ROS if you haven't already. ArduCopter has some SITL versions that can run using the Gazebo physics simulator. ROS is one of the primary pieces of code used for academic…"

"Karthik,

The basic equations of motion and control system can remain unchanged from what I originally produced. The equations of motion are described in terms of specific motor speeds as inputs, but you can generalize these inputs to total thrust,…"

"Darius,
Glad you found the write-up useful.

Haven't looked into the Second Life simulation environment yet. I'm starting with ROS/Gazebo since it is already pretty well resourced and documented. It allows users to not only create fairly complex…"

Wil Selby posted a discussion in ArduCopter User Group
I started this project wanting to learn more about the ArduCopter software that was powering my APM board and 3DR Quad-C frame. I found Dr. Owenson's tutorial extremely useful and the perfect starting point. However, I wanted to understand the…
