Package Description

PX4 multirotor demo-ring mission: a sequential chain of pattern superstates (square spiral, lawnmower, grid, Victor Sierra) joined by sine-wave transit states, a figure-eight and loiter tail, and a precision landing at the island

State Machine Diagram

sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Description

All tunables (altitudes, speeds, ring radius, pattern sizes, sine amplitude, loiter count, timeouts) live in config/mission_constants.hpp. Each pattern superstate owns its place on the ring, its pattern parameters and where its pattern starts and ends; each transit state flies to the next superstate’s entry point (a lawnmower corner, a figure-eight lobe tip) rather than to its centre. The order of the mission is the chain of state transitions.

Uses one orthogonal:

OrPx4 - cl_px4_mr::ClPx4Mr client for all PX4 vehicle control (plus CbSleepFor for ground waits)

Build Instructions

First, source your ROS 2 installation.

source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash

Then build with colcon build…

colcon build --packages-select cl_px4_mr sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Operating Instructions

PX4 SITL must home on the island (the default.sdf world’s spherical origin is 26.478999, 56.538333). Requires four processes, started in this order. The micro-ROS agent must be running before the state machine starts: StConnectMicroROSAgent waits for the agent’s node and for PX4 to report a healthy position estimate, then proceeds.

Terminal 1 - PX4 SITL:

cd ~/workspaces/PX4-Autopilot
make px4_sitl gz_x500

Terminal 2 - QGroundControl (GCS heartbeat so PX4 allows arming)

./QGroundControl-x86_64.AppImage

Terminal 3 - micro-ROS agent (XRCE-DDS bridge to PX4):

ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent udp4 -p 8888 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xrce_agent.log

Terminal 4 - State Machine (full mission):

source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4 sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4.launch.py

Viewer Instructions

If you have the SMACC2 Runtime Analyzer installed then type…

ros2 run smacc2_rta smacc2_rta

Package Description

PX4 multirotor demo-ring mission: a sequential chain of pattern superstates (square spiral, lawnmower, grid, Victor Sierra) joined by sine-wave transit states, a figure-eight and loiter tail, and a precision landing at the island

State Machine Diagram

sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Description

All tunables (altitudes, speeds, ring radius, pattern sizes, sine amplitude, loiter count, timeouts) live in config/mission_constants.hpp. Each pattern superstate owns its place on the ring, its pattern parameters and where its pattern starts and ends; each transit state flies to the next superstate’s entry point (a lawnmower corner, a figure-eight lobe tip) rather than to its centre. The order of the mission is the chain of state transitions.

Uses one orthogonal:

OrPx4 - cl_px4_mr::ClPx4Mr client for all PX4 vehicle control (plus CbSleepFor for ground waits)

Build Instructions

First, source your ROS 2 installation.

source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash

Then build with colcon build…

colcon build --packages-select cl_px4_mr sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Operating Instructions

PX4 SITL must home on the island (the default.sdf world’s spherical origin is 26.478999, 56.538333). Requires four processes, started in this order. The micro-ROS agent must be running before the state machine starts: StConnectMicroROSAgent waits for the agent’s node and for PX4 to report a healthy position estimate, then proceeds.

Terminal 1 - PX4 SITL:

cd ~/workspaces/PX4-Autopilot
make px4_sitl gz_x500

Terminal 2 - QGroundControl (GCS heartbeat so PX4 allows arming)

./QGroundControl-x86_64.AppImage

Terminal 3 - micro-ROS agent (XRCE-DDS bridge to PX4):

ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent udp4 -p 8888 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xrce_agent.log

Terminal 4 - State Machine (full mission):

source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4 sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4.launch.py

Package Description

PX4 multirotor demo-ring mission: a sequential chain of pattern superstates (square spiral, lawnmower, grid, Victor Sierra) joined by sine-wave transit states, a figure-eight and loiter tail, and a precision landing at the island

Maintainers

Brett Aldrich

Authors

No additional authors.

State Machine Diagram

sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Description

All tunables (altitudes, speeds, ring radius, pattern sizes, sine amplitude, loiter count, timeouts) live in config/mission_constants.hpp. Each pattern superstate owns its place on the ring, its pattern parameters and where its pattern starts and ends; each transit state flies to the next superstate’s entry point (a lawnmower corner, a figure-eight lobe tip) rather than to its centre. The order of the mission is the chain of state transitions.

Uses one orthogonal:

OrPx4 - cl_px4_mr::ClPx4Mr client for all PX4 vehicle control (plus CbSleepFor for ground waits)

Build Instructions

First, source your ROS 2 installation.

source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash

Then build with colcon build…

colcon build --packages-select cl_px4_mr sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Operating Instructions

PX4 SITL must home on the island (the default.sdf world’s spherical origin is 26.478999, 56.538333). Requires four processes, started in this order. The micro-ROS agent must be running before the state machine starts: StConnectMicroROSAgent waits for the agent’s node and for PX4 to report a healthy position estimate, then proceeds.

Terminal 1 - PX4 SITL:

cd ~/workspaces/PX4-Autopilot
make px4_sitl gz_x500

Terminal 2 - QGroundControl (GCS heartbeat so PX4 allows arming)

./QGroundControl-x86_64.AppImage

Terminal 3 - micro-ROS agent (XRCE-DDS bridge to PX4):

ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent udp4 -p 8888 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xrce_agent.log

State Machine Diagram

sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Description

All tunables (altitudes, speeds, ring radius, pattern sizes, sine amplitude, loiter count, timeouts) live in config/mission_constants.hpp. Each pattern superstate owns its place on the ring, its pattern parameters and where its pattern starts and ends; each transit state flies to the next superstate’s entry point (a lawnmower corner, a figure-eight lobe tip) rather than to its centre. The order of the mission is the chain of state transitions.

Uses one orthogonal:

OrPx4 - cl_px4_mr::ClPx4Mr client for all PX4 vehicle control (plus CbSleepFor for ground waits)

Build Instructions

First, source your ROS 2 installation.

source /opt/ros/jazzy/setup.bash

Then build with colcon build…

colcon build --packages-select cl_px4_mr sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4

Operating Instructions

PX4 SITL must home on the island (the default.sdf world’s spherical origin is 26.478999, 56.538333). Requires four processes, started in this order. The micro-ROS agent must be running before the state machine starts: StConnectMicroROSAgent waits for the agent’s node and for PX4 to report a healthy position estimate, then proceeds.

Terminal 1 - PX4 SITL:

cd ~/workspaces/PX4-Autopilot
make px4_sitl gz_x500

Terminal 2 - QGroundControl (GCS heartbeat so PX4 allows arming)

./QGroundControl-x86_64.AppImage

Terminal 3 - micro-ROS agent (XRCE-DDS bridge to PX4):

ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent udp4 -p 8888 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xrce_agent.log

Terminal 4 - State Machine (full mission):

source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4 sm_cl_px4_mr_test_4.launch.py
