Hi again,
I’m currently trying to have multi-vehicle setup to have 2 drones in my Gazebo world. One is Typhoon H480 and the other is Iris. What I am trying to achieve is, run mavros_offboard_posctl_test.py among the following examples:
And I followed the tutorial below:
https://docs.px4.io/master/en/simulation/multi_vehicle_simulation_gazebo.html
I have achieved to programmatically control H480 by using that rospy code. Now I need to use another mavros node so that I can capture image of the Iris. However, I seem to fail. Here is my edited launch file:

<!-- to add more UAVs (up to 10):
Increase the id
Change the name space
Set the FCU to default="udp://:14540+id@localhost:14550+id"
Set the malink_udp_port to 14560+id) -->
I run the mission using the following:
git submodule update --init --recursive
DONT_RUN=1 make px4_sitl_default gazebo
source Tools/setup_gazebo.bash $(pwd) $(pwd)/build/px4_sitl_default
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:$(pwd):$(pwd)/Tools/sitl_gazebo
roslaunch px4 multi_uav_mavros_sitl.launch
And then I do:
- On another terminal, run
roslaunch mavros px4.launch fcu_url:="udp://:14540@127.0.0.1:14557" - On third terminal, run
python2 sim/taha/multi_rospy_8/mavros_offboard_posctl_test.py
I can fly H480 as seen:
Without further due, I’m looking for any assist, especially regarding this following statement on the ROS-Gazebo multi-vehicle part on the PX4 guide:
