Simulation for the VOXL m500 in Gazebo

DJ · 6 Jan 2021, 19:00

Are there simulation files (urdf, sensor plugins) for the VOXL m500 available to simulate the drone in Gazebo with ROS? I would like to try setups akin to the SITL and HITL options available in PX4, but with accurate model descriptions for Gazebo.

Hi @DJ ,

Nothing yet for this as far as I know. The frame is essentially the Holybro s500, not sure if that helps, but it's at least more standard.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll take a look to see if there are any models with the same frame around.

@skl1g14
Thank you for sharing the urdf files!
The link you shared however goes to a 404 page. Can you share another location for the given files?
Thanks again in advance!
