Realistic flight controller simulation with your drone logic.

## How It Works
The `run_ardupilot_controller.sh` script starts ArduPilot SITL in the background and connects your controller to it via MAVLink.

## World Options
## Configuration
```bash
./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh runway # Iris on runway (default)
./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh warehouse # Iris in warehouse
./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh zephyr # Zephyr plane
./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh gimbal # Gimbal test
./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh parachute # Parachute test
```
Your `drone_controller.py` receives telemetry and returns control inputs.
## GPS-Denied Configuration
In MAVProxy console:
```bash
param set ARMING_CHECK 0 # Disable pre-arm checks
mode stabilize # Manual with stabilization
arm throttle force # Force arm
```
## GPU Support
Auto-detects: NVIDIA > Intel > AMD > Software
Check your GPU:
```bash
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
```
## MAVProxy Commands
```bash
mode stabilize # Manual mode
mode alt_hold # Altitude hold
arm throttle force # Arm motors
takeoff 5 # Takeoff 5m
mode land # Land
```
The simulation translates your inputs:
- `thrust` → Vertical velocity
- `pitch/roll` → Horizontal velocity
- `yaw` → Yaw rate
## Troubleshooting
### "SITL failed to start"
Check if `sim_vehicle.py` is in your PATH:
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:~/ardupilot/Tools/autotest
```
### Drone drift
ArduPilot in GUIDED mode requires good position estimation. Without GPS, it relies on optical flow or visual odometry (not yet implemented in default setup). The drone might drift if relying only on IMU.
### "No JSON sensor message"
Ensure Gazebo (Terminal 1) is running before starting the controller.
Gazebo isn't sending data to SITL. Check:
1. Start Gazebo FIRST, then SITL
2. Plugin path is set:
```bash
echo $GZ_SIM_SYSTEM_PLUGIN_PATH | grep ardupilot
```
### Simulation laggy
Check GPU is being used (not software):
```bash
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
# Should NOT show "llvmpipe"
```
### Can't arm
## Visualizing Camera
```bash
param set ARMING_CHECK 0
arm throttle force
python camera_viewer.py --topic /drone/camera
```
(Requires bridging the topic if using ROS 2 bridge)

ArduPilot ROS 2 Launcher - Official DDS Integration.
This script provides a convenient way to launch the ArduPilot SITL simulation
using the official ardupilot_gz packages with ROS 2 DDS support.
ArduPilot Drone Controller
==========================
Connects your drone_controller.py logic to ArduPilot SITL via MAVLink.
Usage:
python run_ardupilot.py # Launch Iris on runway
python run_ardupilot.py --world maze # Launch Iris in maze
python run_ardupilot.py --vehicle rover # Launch WildThumper rover
python run_ardupilot.py --mavproxy # Also start MAVProxy
Terminal 1: ./scripts/run_ardupilot_sim.sh runway
Terminal 2: sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter -f gazebo-iris --model JSON --console
Terminal 3: python run_ardupilot.py
Prerequisites:
- ArduPilot ROS 2 packages installed (./setup/install_ardupilot.sh)
- ROS 2 Humble/Jazzy sourced
- ~/ardu_ws workspace built and sourced
This script:
1. Connects to ArduPilot SITL via MAVLink
2. Gets telemetry (position, attitude, velocity)
3. Runs your drone_controller.calculate_landing_maneuver()
4. Sends velocity commands to ArduPilot
