Function Documentation

static void gazebo_read ( void )

static

Read Gazebo's simulation state and store the results in the fdm struct used by NPS.

Not all fields are filled at the moment, as some of them are unused by paparazzi (see comments) and others are not available in Gazebo 7 (atmosphere).

Here is the caller graph for this function:

static void gazebo_write	(	double	act_commands[],
		int	commands_nb
	)

static

Write actuator commands to Gazebo.

This function takes the normalized commands and applies them as forces and torques in Gazebo. Since the commands are normalized in [0,1], their thrusts (NPS_ACTUATOR_THRUSTS) and torques (NPS_ACTUATOR_TORQUES) need to be specified in the airframe file. Their values need to be specified in the same order as the NPS_ACTUATOR_NAMES and should be provided in SI units. See conf/airframes/examples/ardrone2_gazebo.xml for an example.

The forces and torques are applied to (the origin of) the links named in NPS_ACTUATOR_NAMES. See conf/simulator/gazebo/models/ardrone/ardrone.sdf for an example.

Parameters

act_commands
commands_nb

static

Set up a Gazebo server.

Starts a Gazebo server, adds conf/simulator/gazebo/models to its model path and loads the world specified by NPS_GAZEBO_WORLD.

This function also obtaines a pointer to the aircraft model, named NPS_GAZEBO_AC_NAME ('paparazzi_uav' by default). This pointer, 'model', is used to read the state and write actuator commands in gazebo_read and _write.
