Hello, Ardupilot Community, I was one of the developers involved with the development of ROS-2 client for Ardupilot vehicles. I currently require the following :
- CubeOrange Plus, and
- FTDI Serial Adapter
for setting up and testing out the project on a real hardware (one of the critical follow ups planned for this project)
Proposal type: Hardware , Software , Other : _________________
Description:
As mentioned above, after the conclusion of my GSoC work in 2023, hardware testing for this project was intended to be one of the critical follow ups, and so far we have been able to test the project on Pixhawk 6X board and resultant steps needed to reproduce have been added here.
But currently, many of the users interested in testing out the said project on a real hardware are having a tough time reproducing it on their end.(one example can be found with the this issue)
My plan would be to setup and test out the Ardupilot - ROS2 project on a real hardware, :
- and hence find out any limitations and work on patching any bug, that might be present
- Updating the documentation for setting up the project,
- Provide tutorials and guide for setting up project,
- If possible , help in successfully resolving issues like this
Planned amount $$ (USD):
- Cube Orange+ : Rs. 32800 ( around 400$ )
- FTDI Serial Adapter : Rs. 300 (around 4$)
- Total : Rs. 33,100 (around 405$)
Estimated time for completion:
15 Days
All the work intended to be performed with the potential hardware procured from this proposal would be done for the ultimate benefit of the Ardupilot project and the Ardupilot community
Thanks !
