TF-PROPSCALE - propulsion system test bench

Formerly known as TF-MOTORSCALE

Test bench for measuring parameters and verification of propulsion system (propeller, motor, regulator) of unmanned drones especially TF-G2 autogyro.

Start measuring scripts

sudo systemctl restart onboot

Remote display

The computer which should display the measured data needs to have TFROSTOOLS installed.

sudo apt install python3-colcon-common-extensions
git clone git@github.com:ThunderFly-aerospace/TFROSTOOLS.git
cd TFROSTOOLS/
./install.
source install/setup.bash

Then the data should be displayed in the PlotJuggler on the remote computer.

ros2 run plotjuggler plotjuggler

Readout of parameters from UAVCAN ESC

CAN translator should be connected by following command:

./create_socket_can.sh

Then ROS node should be run by:

ros2 run tf_tools uavcan_motor_driver

Additional ROS nodes

ros2 run tf_tools gpsd
ros2 run tf_tools tfslot
ros2 run tf_tools uavcan_motor_driver
