This project builds and runs docker containers that contain ArduPilot SITL and Mission Planner, allowing to easily run them on any computer.

Prerequisites

1. Linux PC (Ubuntu 20.04 recommended)
2. Docker
3. Docker non-root
4. docker-compose

Usage

1. First we have to build the images:
   1. Run the following command:

   docker-compose -f .docker-compose.root.yml -f compose/dev_environment.docker-compose.yml build \
   && docker-compose -f .docker-compose.root.yml -f compose/drones/dev.docker-compose.sitl.yml build

   2. Get yourself a cup of tea, coffee or a quad long shot grande frappuchino in a venti cup half calf double cupped no sleeve salted caramel mocha latte with 2 pumps of vanilla substitute 2 pumps of white chocolate mocha for mocha and substitute 2 pumps of hazelnut for toffee nut half whole milk and half breve with no whipped cream extra hot extra foam extra caramel drizzle extra salt add a scoop of vanilla bean powder with light ice well stirred , or take a nap, whatever works for you.
2. Run run_simulation.sh
3. To connect mission planner to SITL:
   • Use TCP connection
   • Keep the baudrate at default (115200)
   • "ip" is "sitl" (docker-compose takes care of resolving sitl the ip of the container).
   • "port" is 5762
