Collection of packages and tools for using DJI UAVS in ROS

List of packages

1. dji_att_quat_to_transform
   • Publishes AttitudeQuaternion messages as a TF transforms and geometry_msgs
2. dji_gimbal
   • Publishes gimbal's state with robot_state_publisher
   • Supported gimbals (included URDF models):
     • DJI Zenmuse X3 (M100)
     • DJI Ronin-MX (M600, tunning required as different cameras are mounted differently)
3. dji_rtk_tools
   • rtk_to_cartesian_coord.py
     • /dji_sdk/A3_RTK messages into local Euclidean frame (NED) given initial position
   • rtk_rosbag_to_kml.py
     • Converts ROSBAG with /dji_sdk/A3_RTK messages into a Google's KML file, so that it can be loaded into Google Earth. However, accuracy of Google Maps is most of the time lower than D-RTK's precision.
4. dji_launchers
   • Collection of launcher scripts for DJI M100 and M600 UAVs. The M100 launcher is prepared for a flight arena at SnT, University of Luxembourg.
