Usefull Packages

In order to facilitate testing and operation of the drone, two ROS packages are provided.

mav_tools

The mav_tools ROS package runs on top of MAVROS to provide a GUI interface that can run on the terminal and is able to display information like the battery state and basic control of the drone, like changing flight mode and arming/disarming the vehicle.

mav_tools Example

test_comms_pixhawk

The test_comms_pixhawk package provides an easy way to test the communication from the ROS control stack to the pixhawk flight computer by logging telemetry data and arming and disarming the drone.
