Seeded Estimator Occasionally Breaks #62

Open iandareid opened 6 days ago

iandareid commented 6 days ago

The seeded estimator will break and not allow any new launches of the node if Gazebo Classic breaks and somehow reports 0 as the lat/long/alt/pressure (only one of these) it throws an invalid type error where the string is cast to an int instead of a double. I think this is low priority, because either a fresh build or reverting the parameter changes will fix it, and because we will be decoupling the sensors from the sim relativity soon. That being said a type error like this should not be possible.

--EDIT-- This is actually a pretty big issue, it happens every time Gazebo implodes while rosplane is running

Okay so it is actually only during a specific gazebo crash, just the most common one. An easy way to avoid this is to launch rosplane only when Gazebo has been confirmed to have successfully launched.
