Offboard transmitter should receive targets from move_base #2

Need to set up a base_local_planner node per http://wiki.ros.org/navigation/Tutorials/RobotSetup#Base_Local_Planner_Configuration

kylc commented 10 years ago

We current have a global planner running, but a local planner requires odometry messages. We have three options:

  1. Get the odom data from the PX4, perhaps with roscopter
  2. Spoof the odom data based on sequential tfs
  3. Set up the local planner without odom data, if possible
kylc commented 10 years ago

Looks like the planner can actually function without odom messages. Velocity outputs are on the /cmd_vel topic. This is what the offboard_comm node should be reading.
