Re: [Robotic simulation for Starling-2](/topic/3383/robotic-simulation-for-starling-2)

Hello,
I have exactly same questions as one asked on this post. 

"
Do you have/provide an SDF of Starling-2 for Gazebo?
Do you have some documentation for simulation in general that is similar to this (https://developer.parrot.com/docs/sphinx/index.html)?
Do you have some system identification results for the motor and propeller couple (speed vs thrust)?
I know the autopilot part (PX4) can be run as software in the loop (https://docs.px4.io/main/en/simulation/), but I wonder if the VOXL SDK can be run in an Ubuntu desktop computer (as a ROS node or non-ROS)?
"

I don't want to perform HITL simulation I want to perform SITL simulation. PX4 already provides [IRIS and gz_x500 drone models for performing SITL simulation](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/sim_gazebo_gz/) however I want to perform the simulation with Starling 2 drone to accurately model the physics.

Please do reply to this query.

Thank you,
Jainik Mehta.
