Clarify PX4 ROS implementation detail #399
Description
Discussion from #393 (comment)
The PX4 ROS implementation (which is an active part of SITL) has everything built in to receive and publish data in the ROS framework. So for example in ROS with Gazebo Simulation > Launching Gazebo with ROS Wrappers indicates gazebo can be modified to integrate sensors publishing directly to ROS topics.
Some questions we need answered:
- How the PX4 ROS implementation is done
- What it accepts and how it can be applied generally (if it can be pulled out of the SITL sim environment for example).
- What messages are/should be used for what purposes? (currently there seems to be some data handled as ROS msgs, other as Gazebo msgs, while there is data also being handled as Mavlink msgs).
So essentially, whether we use any of the ROS/Gazebo integration, what for, how, and where should others do the same.
