Manually controlling the quadcopter through ROS #6

Open klaki892 opened 7 years ago

In order to test the quadcopters core functionality of flying, we need to be able to remotely control it during testing even though we wont do this for the actual competition.

This task involves using ROS nodes and ROS Topics to send data from a machine running ROS that will be connected to the same network as another machine that can receive input and sending data (movement commands)

For testing purposes, using two Virtual Machines will probably be faster and easier than using the ODroid directly.

A future task of combining the code from this task with the code for movement in issue #10 should be eventually made once both are done.

I added a link to a ROS package that should be able to drive your flight controller from ROS to the learning page on the wiki
