Hi, @vooon, see https://px4.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Presentation-ROS2-powered-PX4.pdf : page23~page24 I want to know whether mavros2 still has above disadvantages. |
@dzywater with mavros 2 you'll have most of the same APIs as you have on ROS1. If we're talking about uORB vs Mavlink, then there is not difference. MAVROS v2 still talks to Mavlink, so on PX4 you won't get access to some of internals. But on other hand, you have an option to work with Ardupilot, which do not have uORB at all. |
@dzywater that presentation is from 2019 and by then that was the current state. But, although you can now use mavros to interface ROS2 with PX4, the main advantage is that you don't require MAVLink anymore to interface with the flight controller internals. And since in the end you would always endup interfacing with a pub/sub infrastructure similar to ROS (which is the case of uORB), you don't need MAVLink for nothing. Adding up that we have overused what MAVLink was supposed to be for, which is not for sure a Pub/Sub infrastructure for communication between companion computers and PX4-enabled flight controllers. For this same purpose we have the microRTPS/ROS2 bridge, offering a native interface between ROS2 topics and the PX4 internals, without having to add even another protocol on top (MAVLink). And soon supporting the DDS-XRCE protocol. The current recommendation for the development and maintainance team of PX4 for interfacing ROS2 with PX4 is through the microRTPS bridge. |
@TSC21 Could ROS2 or MicroRTPS replace mavlink completely? Where ROS2 cannot ? Or Where is the mavlink better than ROS2? I feel that mavlink can do where ROS2 can do also. |
@vooon About PX4_ROS_COM vs MavROS2, how about their latency? Same? |
@dzywater don't know. Perhaps similar as link should contribute most of the delay. |
Hello all,
While i can't say that mavros is stable enough, but it's time to move to the new ROS.
So current code now should be kept as "old stable code that we use for a while".
ROS2 have a lots of differences, so next iteration of mavros would be quite different from that code.
It also opens us a window to redesign to achieve long-lived feature requests like gcs plugins and swarm support (but i can't guarantee that).
So:
