Will write about PX4 flight stack and how to utilize ROS2 for offboard control with novel control algorithms. Also showcasing my open-source modular ROS2-PX4 offboard flight package for control algorithm implementation with modular platform, trajectory, and control setups and my custom logger package.

Introduction

Will fill in more when I have time :)

In the meantime check out my open-source PX4-ROS2 offboard control package here and my PX4 data logger package here.

I don’t like rosbag or plotjugggler so despite my Logger not being very lightweight or polished yet, I still prefer it. It also very conveniently comes with a Python data analysis package to easily load and plot logged data that it moves into your ROS2 workspace and creates directories for itself and saves logs automatically into its data analysis directory ready for plotting, analysis, and comparisons.
