Day 1

Focus: Simulation Setup

Installation of ROS Kinetic + Gazebo was already done (apt **-full**)

Guide for PX4 SITL + Gazebo

1. We used this script https://dev.px4.io/en/setup/dev_env_linux.html#gazebo-with-ros, paying attention on not redoing stuff already done and changing the catkin workspace to our project directory.
2. QtCreator: we used https://dev.px4.io/en/setup/building_px4.html#qt-creator-on-linux that checkout needed gazebo sitl files
3. make posix_sitl_default gazebo executed in ~/src/Firmware launches gazebo and px4 sitl with the default iris model
4. Init script for px4 console which configures also mavlink, is found under %Firmware%/posix-configs/SITL/init/ekf2/iris
