Question about state of SITL/HITL

ArduCopter Copter Simulation
1

Hi all!

I read a bit docs on SITL here. Can anyone of you tell me if all the docs related to SITL/HITL up to date?

Is it possible to use SITL with jmavsim? Is there anything in particular that you think could be improved in SITL?

The reason I’m asking is that I think it would be a good starting point for me to start contributing to development of ArduPilot, especially given that I have quite some experience in developing HITL simulations.

Cheers,
Mateusz

Jmavsim is designed to be used with the PX4 flight software. I’ve not heard of anyone using it with APM - it might work.

The SITL docs are up-to-date. HIL may be a bit out of date, as people don’t tend to use it (compared to SITL anyway).

hummm … I would say that some docs are oudated (port mismatch, undocumented feature, etc)…and HITL is broken on every vehicle …
