Quick Start¶

Single Script Setup¶

There is a support script to install, build, and launch everything at once.

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/robotics-88/open-drone-core.git
cd open-drone-core
./quickstart.sh

This brings up Gazebo, ArduCopter, ROS2 nodes, and the frontend, even if you start from a fresh Ubuntu install without ROS2. Should look like this when launching is complete:

Test Setpoint Mission¶

Send your first setpoint mission from the frontend at http://127.0.0.1:8040/ by setting the IP in the Mission Panel to localhost and dropping a pin on the map. Watch the drone take off in Rviz or Gazebo.
