[BUG] ROS kinetic & MAVROS 0.23.0 Problem #973

Closed dronecrewkari closed 6 years ago

dronecrewkari commented 6 years ago

Issue details

We are using ROS Kinetic and MAVROS v0.23.0 for gazebo px4 SITL.

when we do rostopic echo in order to monitor each mavlink topic by

rostopic echo mavros_msgs/Mavlink

Length of message ID #105(https://mavlink.io/kr/messages/common.html#HIGHRES_IMU)

is supposed to be 62 length, but it varies from 61 to 62., which is the problem.

In addition, length of other messages(mavros_msgs/Mavlink) are not consistent with their definition.

from time to time.

In the past, when we tested ROS indigo and MAVROS v0.17.5 for gazebo px4 SITL,

we had no problem at all, and length of each mavlink message is always consistent with their definition.

MAVROS version and platform

Mavros: 0.23.0 ROS: Kinetic Ubuntu: 16.04

Autopilot type and version

[ ] ArduPilot [ v ] PX4

Version: 1.7.3

vooon commented 6 years ago

vooon commented 6 years ago

Mavlink v3 is not exist yet. What value Mavlink::magic have?

I have tried mavros 0.22.0, and it does not have problem at all.

and the length of mavros is correct all the time.

Would you please let me know how to install mavros 0.22.0 in not src folder(not source code), but /opt/ros/kinetic/share as executable??

If we do sudo apt-get install ros-kinectic-mavros, the installed version of mavros is 0.23.0 which we don't like.

TSC21 commented 6 years ago

This is not a problem at all. The difference to 0.23 is that we, by default, use MAVLINK v2.0. You can set it back to 1.0 on your launch file.

dronecrewkari commented 6 years ago

@TSC21 @vooon

This is the rostopic echo result from mavros 0.23.0

rostopic echo mavros_msgs/Mavlink

As you can see, the length of msgid: 105 vary as following.

len: 61 msgid: 105

len: 62 msgid: 105

In mavros 0.22.0, following error does not occur

We have tried to install mavros as the executable in opt folder but the following error occurs

Gotcha!

Not a bug. Closing.

dronecrewkari commented 6 years ago

@TSC21 How can we change to set it back MAVLINK v1.0 in your ROS launch file?

dronecrewkari commented 6 years ago

@vooon

Thank you for the help

Do you mean that message length can vary in mavros 0.23.0 with v2.0?

If yes, why does it vary? Why not with v1.0?

If yes, how can we decode mavros_msgs/Mavlink which varies in term of length? For instance, how can we use memcopy function to decode this message?

vooon commented 6 years ago

Yes because it is MAVLink v2.0. And usage to/from topics outside of mavros is a bad practice. Write a plugin. It is simple.

And length may wary since 0.18.0, but until 0.23 we defaulted to mavlink v1.0.

dronecrewkari commented 6 years ago

@vooon

Thank you for the kind reply.

BTW, why is the reason that usage to/from topics outside of mavros is a bad practice?

Theatrically, it should be the same as using a plugin.
