This is an approach source code of Nyctea.

Requirement

Python package requirement: numpy ; pandas ; pymavlink ; pyulog ; pytorch

OS: The program is only tested in Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 (recommend).

` pip3 install pymavlink pandas pyulog eventlet keras tensorflow

Simulation requirement: Ardupilot SITL. We suggest applying python3 to run STIL simulator. Jmavsim for PX4, which requires source build in PX4 file.

The initializer of Ardupilot simulator needs to change the path in the file Cptool.config.py with item SITL_PATH.

For example, python3 {Your Ardupilot path}/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --location=AVC_plane --out=127.0.0.1:14550 -v ArduCopter -w -S {toolConfig.SPEED} "

If you want to run PX4 evaluation in multiple thread, you should change the following code in PX4-Ardupilot.

  1. Create the file Tools/sitl_multiple_run_single.sh and add content next:
#!/bin/bash
sitl_num=0
[ -n "$1" ] && sitl_num="$1"
SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
src_path="$SCRIPT_DIR/.."
build_path=${src_path}/build/px4_sitl_default
pkill  -f "px4 -i $sitl_num"
sleep 1
export PX4_SIM_MODEL=iris
working_dir="$build_path/instance_$sitl_num"
[ ! -d "$working_dir" ] && mkdir -p "$working_dir"
pushd "$working_dir" &>/dev/null
echo "starting instance $sitl_numin $(pwd)"
../bin/px4 -i $sitl_num -d "$build_path/etc" -s etc/init.d-posix/rcS # >out.log 2>err.log &
popd &>/dev/null
  1. Change the flight home point in Tools/jmavsim_run.sh
export PX4_HOME_LAT=40.072842
export PX4_HOME_LON=-105.230575
export PX4_HOME_ALT=0.000000
export PX4_SIM_SPEED_FACTOR=3 # speed

  1. To use the simulation without the jMAVSim GUI, please set the following environment variable HEADLESS=1

  2. Change the default mode in Cptool.config.py to toolConfig = ToolConfig() and toolConfig.select_mode("PX4")

Deployment

The configuration is in Cptool.config.py.

If you want to try PX4 simulation, change the sentence toolConfig.select_mode("Ardupilot") to toolConfig.select_mode("PX4")

Configuration of System config.py

  • ARDUPILOT_LOG_PATH: log path of ardupilot running, noted that, the path needs to have a flag file "logs/LASTLOG.TXT". Or you can manually run the simulation at first in {ARDUPILOT_LOG_PATH} to auto generate flag file.

The log path for PX4 is in {PX4_Path}/build/px4_sitl_default/logs/, which is no need to change.

  • MODE: 1. Ardupilot 2. PX4.

  • SPEED: simulation speed, 3 default.

  • HOME: 1. None, use the default location to start; 2. AVC, use AVC location and mission.

  • DEBUG: display debug information.

  • ARDUPILOT_LOG_PATH: Path to save the Ardupilot logs.

  • AIRSIM_PATH: if select airsim, you should set the execution path.

  • PX4_PATH: if select PX4, you should set the execution path, like xx/xx/PX4-Autopilot.

  • ARDUPILOT_PATH: Ardupilot running path, e.g., xx/xx/Autopilot.
