You can set the value for phi_c using the roll_step in the rqt_reconfigure gui. This means that the autopilot_tuner node will ignore all the other commanded values and will only run the roll_hold() function to set the current phi to phi_c. Tick the hold_roll box and untick the other boxes. The xplane_ros portion of the gui provides a kind of easy-to-use interface for you to give certain commands and see the response.įor example, suppose you want to tune the roll attitude parameters. Those are the tuning parameters for the PID loops implemented in rosplane. The nomenclature should be obvious once you take a glance at the params and cfg files provided in rosplane. The fixedwing setup contains the dynamic reconfigure for rosplane parameters. Under the rqt_reconfigure gui you should see fixedwing and xplane_ros. Roslaunch xplane_ros default.launch rosplane_tuner:=true Go to XPlaneConnect/xpcPlugin within the cloned repo and run the commands You will need to clone the XPC repo and build yourself. If you don't see the plugin under the Plugin Admin while running XPlane, check the Log.txt file in the XPlane-11 directory.ĭlerror:/home//X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/XPlaneConnect/lin.xpl: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32, this is probably an OS compatibility issue with the pre-built binaries. There is a chance the plugin might not have loaded correctly. If you see the plugin under the Plugin Admin, try running some of the example codes given in XPlane Connect (basicExample.py or monitorExample.py in the Python3/src folder). After following the steps mentioned in the repo, open XPlane and start a flight. Try to use the pre-compiled binary they provide. Follow the steps give in the XPlaneConnect repository or in their Getting Started page.
XPlaneConnect Setupįirst we need to install the XPlaneConnect (XPC) plugin. There are three main components needed to run XPlaneRos: Xplane-11, XPlaneConnect, and ROSplane. We noticed that the XPC interface crashes in that case. There's a possibility that if the system does not have enough computational power, then it can decrease the frame rate in XPlane and can lead to the system getting stuck.

I'm really not sure where to go from here or how to get this working.
This is backed up by the installer log file, attached below, that shows the last entry as errors in NVIDIA OpenGL.
My New Rig, in which the problem still persists:ĭue to the fact the GPU is the only persistent hardware, I lean towards it being at fault. This error only occurs on my desktop, and with some hardware changes.
I have it installed on my laptop, no problems. The X-Plane 11 Installer, downloaded directly from the X-Plane website crashes at startup. Have experienced this problem for awhile now.
