Not able to connect px4 to GazeboDrone, it shows
"Waiting for connection - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
Include context on what you are trying to achieve
The objective is:
Using GazeboDrone and Airsm, I would like render the visualization of a drone using Airsim but the phyiscs engine from Gazebo, such that the sensor data is provided by Airsim.
Context details
Px4 is running in WSL2 in a docker container
Airsim (latest)/UE(4.27) are running in Windows 10
[settings.json](https://gist.github.com/schakour/23dde08b19843105115975cb625f72d0)
### Include details of what you already did to find answers
I cloned the Airsim repo and built it in WSL2 using GCC8 and G++8
I followed the steps in : [https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/gazebo_drone/](url)
I used the clang compiled environment provided in : [https://github.com/microsoft/AirSim/releases](url)
As well as the instruction here: [https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/px4_sitl_wsl2/](url)
Including the modification of the ./GazeboDrone's main.cpp of:
`msr::airlib::MultirotorRpcLibClient client("my_ip_address");`
The part that I didn't find is the env var : PX4_SIM_HOST_ADDR in
> ROMFS/px4fmu_common/init.d-posix/rcS
and when I go into this file to add
`# If PX4_SIM_HOST_ADDR environment variable is empty use localhost.
if [ -z "${PX4_SIM_HOST_ADDR}" ]; then
echo "PX4 SIM HOST: localhost"
simulator start -c $simulator_tcp_port
else
echo "PX4 SIM HOST: $PX4_SIM_HOST_ADDR"
simulator start -t $PX4_SIM_HOST_ADDR $simulator_tcp_port
fi`
I don't find anywhere a call like this : ` simulator start`
Note that this is fork of PX4 that's been modified for R&D
