Correct start MAVROS+PX4+GAZEBO+IRIS

1

Good evening everyone!

I have the following problem. I want to connect 1, PX4 and Gazebo using the IRIS model. I followed the manual, here are my actions:

  • Install ROS Kinetic
  • Install GeographicLib
  • Install MAVROS
  • Install common dependencies
  • Install FastRTPS 1.5.0 and FastCDR-1.0.7
  • Clone PX4/Firmware

After that I go to srs/Firmware and run:

    cd ~/src/Firmware
    sudo make px4_sitl gazebo

This is the output:

First question, why i have [Wrn] messages? Is it ok?

After that I open new terminal and run:

    roslaunch mavros px4.launch fcu_url:="udp://:14540@192.168.1.36:14557"

The output is:

There is WARNING
[ WARN] [1546380737.003614811]: CMD: Unexpected command 520, result 0
Is it ok?

And I have this at Gazebo:

After I run at new terminal:

    rosservice call /mavros/cmd/arming "value: true"

Output:

    success: True
    result: 0
    rosservice call /mavros/cmd/takeoff "{min_pitch: 0.0, yaw: 0.0, latitude: 0.0, longitude: 0.0, altitude: 3.0}"

Output:

    success: True
    result: 0

Quadrocopter does not have time to take off. It immediately takes away

PX4 output:

WARN  [navigator] Using minimum takeoff altitude: 2.50 m
INFO  [logger] Start file log (type: mission)
INFO  [logger] Opened mission log file: ./mission_log/2019-01-01/22_31_41.ulg
INFO  [commander] Takeoff detected

I dont know, why I see warning and how to make a quadcopter just take off. Could you help me?

And i see this error at MAVROS terminal:

[ERROR] [1546381750.724092572]: TM : Time jump detected. Resetting time synchroniser.

I don’t understand it too.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

This seems to happen when your system is lagging and it needs more computing power to catch up with the simulation time.

Thank you!
What about another questions?)

4

Warnings are not errors. I can’t see anything wrong apart from the time jump.

5

But why quadcopter starts to fly sideways? I understand that this is most likely due to some parameter, but I cannot find with which.

6

Same problem mine is also flying sideway. Did you find a solution ? @Zenkin

The takeoff service expects a the latitude and longitude to be provided. These are not (0,0) by default. Use rostopic echo /mavros/global_position/global to find your latitude and longitude and then put those values in the command. Example:

rosservice call /mavros/cmd/takeoff "{min_pitch: 0.0, yaw: 0.0, latitude: 47.397742, longitude: 8.5455936, altitude: 3.0}"

Hi!! thanks for your answer.
I run this command

rosservice call /mavros/cmd/takeoff "{min_pitch: 0.0, yaw: 0.0, latitude: 47.397742, longitude: 8.5455936, altitude: 3.0}"

and the drone flies but I still have this message
FCU: Using minimum takeoff altitude: 2.50 m and is not flying at 3m…
