HITL with VOXL 2 Serial Port Closed
-
Hey good afternoon,
I'm following this user guide and Zach's YT tutorial to setup HITL. I modified iris_hitl.sdf serialDevice to /dev/ttyUSB0, but continue to receive "Serial port closed!" message instead of expected "Opened serial device /dev/ttyUSB0" after running 'gazebo Tools/sitl_gazebo/worlds/hitl_iris.world'
I've included PX4 output on target and QGC output below. I think I have cabling correct because QGC reads mavlink messages (and doesn't when I switch TX/RX).
I'm using VOXL 2 Flight Deck, Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic, Gazebo 11, QGC daily build.
How can I fix this?

Does /dev/ttyUSB0 show up in your dev environment when you plug in your FTDI cable?

Zach,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this! Yes, see snippets below:

Is there any additional information I could provide that would help?
Thanks,

Try giving your usb device root permissions. Do the following:
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0and then try rerunning all the same code. I think this might be a permissions issue. @Taylor-Presley

@Zachary-Lowell I have two instances setup, one for SITL with ROS, gazebo, and PX4 firmware, and another following the VOXL 2 PX4 HITL User Guide. I'm not sure why, but when I deleted the bashrc sources to the SITL catkin_ws and ROS package paths, and then followed the instructions, I was able to connect to gazebo with HITL and takeoff/land. Gazebo now prints 'Opened serial device /dev/ttyUSB0.' Thanks!

Hm thats super strange but I am glad you got it working! Keep us posted on how the project turns out
