Hi,

I am currently working on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) with my RB5 flight connected. I am trying to install ROS 2 on my drone. I was only able to find this video (https://youtube.com/watch?v=zEGe-5EdXC0) for reference that explains how to install ROS and not ROS 2 which would not work for me given the version of Ubuntu I am using. Therefore, I found another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onJFNSNiiIU), this tutorial explains how to install ROS 2 on RB5 Robotics platform. Before I proceed I wanted to know if this would work on my RB5 flight? If not how do you suggest I should proceed. Thank you.

@tom 

Thank you for your response, I went through the link you mentioned and had the following issues:

I had already setup the environment source from the video I mentioned earlier with the line:
source opt/ros/dashing/setup.bash
Is there a way to change it, or would it require a clean install?

Moreover, as I am new to this, I am having some trouble understanding the "MPA - to - Ros2" steps mentioned in the document. Can you please elaborate on the command lines I should  execute for the steps mentioned. Thanks again!
