MAVLinkMobilityBase

Description

Parameters

Name Type Unit Default value Description
systemId int 235 System ID of this GCS.
You do not need to change this unless you are trying to connect to the SITL instance
with another GCS software that uses this ID
componentId int 235 Component ID of this GCS.
You do not need to change this unless you are trying to connect to the SITL instance
with another GCS software that uses this ID
targetSystem int -1 systemId of this vehicle instance. This is a unique identifier of the simulated vehicle instance.
You should take care not to repeat this ID if your simulation contains more than on MAVLinkMobility
vehicle.
By default will use -1, which sets the targetSystem to a unique ID. Be careful as this might
conflict with other module's custom targetSystems.
targetComponent int 1 componentId of this vehicle instance. Generally can be left as is.
vehicleType int 1 MAVLink type of vehicle that this class represents
COPTER=1
PLANE=2
ROVER=4
paramPath string Path for the parameters for this vehicle.
Default parameters can be found for your vehicle type here.
Be aware that incorrect parameters can prevent this vehicle from working.
basePort int 5505 Base port for the SITL simulators.
The actual PORT the simulators will be run is basePort + (targetSystem * 10) where
targetSystem is the ID of the vehicle being simulated.
If you don't want port comflicts set the same value for ALL MAVLink mobility modules and use
different targetSystem for each of them. Or don't set basePort or targetSystem at all, the modules
will automatically figura out ports that don't cause conflict.
copterSimulatorPath string Path to the ArduCopter binary. Used to run simulator instances for this vehicle

roverSimulatorPath string // Path to the ArduRover binary. Used to run simulator instances for this vehicle
A stable version can be downloaded from:
https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/MissionPlanner/sitl/RoverStable/ (WINDOWS)
https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Rover/stable/SITL_x86_64_linux_gnu/ (LINUX)
Path to the Rover binary. Used to run simulator instances for this vehicle
initialLatitude double deg -35.36326015deg Latitude of the initial position of the drone.
The default value is the default home of the SITL simulator
initialLongitude double deg 149.16523839deg Longitude of the initial position of the drone.
The default value is the default home of the SITL simulator
initialAltitude double m 0m Altitude of the initial position of the drone.
waitUntilReady bool false Waits until the SITL vehicle is ready to arm before the simulation is able to start.
Warning: If this option is set to true it may look like the simulation has crashed
on startup. This is because, to my knowledge, the only way of preventing the simulation
from starting before the vehicle is ready to arm is to intetionally freeze the module's
initialization.
Warning: This freeze may last for several minutes, depending on how many vehicles
are being initiated and your machine's hardware.
