Rudderboat rudder not functional #22

Open jperk15 opened 5 years ago

jperk15 commented 5 years ago

Running the rudderboat scenario 1, the boat is unable to steer using the rudder. The same happens with both gui set to true or false.

I attempted modifying the usv_sail_plugin parameters in rudderboat.xacro, but was unable to fix it.

It seems to be that there is no such usv_sail_plugin. In rudderboat.xacro, I replaced the gazebo sail plugin with the foil_dynamics plugin and it now seems to work. For some reason it crashed twice before working.
