Crazyflie ROS version on newest VM

Post by taylorb »

I currently have the newest Crazyflie VM running Ubuntu 20.04.
The guide for installing ROS on Crazyflie states to use ROS JADE, ROS KINETIC, or ROSS INDIGO on the linux machine.
Because I am running Ubuntu 20.04, none of these older versions are compatible. Has anyone had success with Crazyflie ROSS on Ubuntu 20.04 using a newer version of ROSS like ROSS FITZROY?

The guide also states the ROSS stack is compatible with Crazyflie 2.0. Hopefully it works with my Crazyflie 2.1.

Hi taylorb!

We (Bitcraze) have not tried to use ROS on the VM, when we do we will attempt to document it somewhere. But perhaps someone out there can help us out?

not sure there is a need to run ROS on the VM. the VM should be used to develop and compile code that runs on the CF processor.
there is a ROS package named crazyflie-ros that can work , but it it not maintained by bitcraze and some of it is out of date.
