一、前言
由于 Jetson 系列开发板常作为自主无人机的机载电脑,而无人机硬件平台如 PX4 和 ArduPilot 等通过 MAVLink 进行发布无人机状态和位姿等信息,要实现机载电脑与 MAVLink 的通信,必须借助 Mavros 功能包,因此,本文主要介绍 Mavros 功能包的安装、配置与使用,主要参考
GitHub - mavlink/mavros at master
https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/blob/master/mavros/README.md#installation
Ubuntu 安装并配置 mavros (USB 连接)_ubuntu安装mavros-CSDN博客
官方给出了直接安装和源码安装两种方法,由于一般 mavros 安装并配置完成后不会轻易改动,且十分常用,因此比较推荐直接安装方法,本文也只介绍直接安装方法
二、Mavros 的安装
由于 Jetson Orin NX 的 JetPack 5.1.2 对应的是 Ubuntu 20.04,因此我们选择安装 noetic 版本的 mavros 功能包,终端输入
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-mavros ros-noetic-mavros-extras -y
此时可以查看 /usr/share/ 下多了一个 GeographicLib 文件夹,其内容是空的,需要我们自己添加进去
进入 ~/Documents/ 目录,下载脚本文件
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mavlink/mavros/master/mavros/scripts/install_geographiclib_datasets.sh
然后给下载好的脚本文件添加可执行权限,
sudo chmod +x ./install_geographiclib_datasets.sh
运行该脚本下载所需文件
sudo ./install_geographiclib_datasets.sh
如果执行报错,就直接去GeographicLib 官网下载(可能要挂梯子。。。)对应的三个包,下载得到三个文件夹:
1.GeographicLib geoids egm96-5 官网下载链接:
Download egm96-5.tar.bz2 (GeographicLib)
2.GeographicLib gravity egm 96官网下载链接
Download egm96.zip (GeographicLib)
3.GeographicLib magnetic emm2015 官网下载链接:
Download emm2015.zip (GeographicLib)
在 /usr/share/GeographicLib/ 路径下,将上面下载的三个压缩包解压后放在这个文件夹内,如下所示
至此,mavros 就安装成功了!
三、Mavrso 的运行
由于 Jetson Orin NX 与飞控(飞行控制器)一般有两种通信连接方式,一种是通过 USB 连接,另一种是通过串口连接,本节主要介绍 USB 连接方式使得 Jetson Orin NX 通过 Mavros 实现与飞控的通信。
由于时下最新的 Pixhawk 系列飞控为 Pixhawk 6X,因此本文主要介绍 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 的通信,其他电脑与飞控的通信方式也是相同的!
运行 Mavros 之前需要现修改 launch 启动文件
打开 /opt/ros/noetic/share/mavros/launch/ 路径下的 px4.launch 文件
可以看到 fcu_url 默认为 /dev/ttyACM0:57600,其中 ttyACM0 表示 USB 连接,57600 表示波特率,这里我们不对这个文件进行修改,而是在当前目录下新建一个 px4_ACM0.launch 文件
终端输入
cd /opt/ros/noetic/share/mavros/launch/
sudo touch px4_ACM0.launch
打开 px4_ACM0.launch 文件,
sudo gedit px4_ACM0.launch
将其内容改为
<launch>
<!-- vim: set ft=xml noet : -->
<!-- example launch script for PX4 based FCU's -->
<arg name="fcu_url" default="/dev/ttyACM0:921600" />
<arg name="gcs_url" default="" />
<arg name="tgt_system" default="1" />
<arg name="tgt_component" default="1" />
<arg name="log_output" default="screen" />
<arg name="fcu_protocol" default="v2.0" />
<arg name="respawn_mavros" default="false" />
<include file="$(find mavros)/launch/node.launch">
<arg name="pluginlists_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_pluginlists.yaml" />
<arg name="config_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_config.yaml" />
<arg name="fcu_url" value="$(arg fcu_url)" />
<arg name="gcs_url" value="$(arg gcs_url)" />
<arg name="tgt_system" value="$(arg tgt_system)" />
<arg name="tgt_component" value="$(arg tgt_component)" />
<arg name="log_output" value="$(arg log_output)" />
<arg name="fcu_protocol" value="$(arg fcu_protocol)" />
<arg name="respawn_mavros" default="$(arg respawn_mavros)" />
</include>
</launch>
至此,Mavros 的启动文件就配置完成了!
接下来将 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 通过 USB 连接,如下图所示
然后终端输入
roslaunch mavros px4_ACM0.launch
启动 mavros,发现报错
[FATAL] [1697177878.518260611]: FCU: DeviceError:serial:open: Permission denied
原因是 /dev/ttyACM0 没有可执行权限,需要先添加可执行权限,终端输入
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
然后再次启动 mavros
roslaunch mavros px4_ACM0.launch
结果显示
这表示 mavros 成功连接上了飞控!
此时可以查看 mavros 话题,终端输入

结果显示
此时 IMU 话题频率为 200 左右,至此 Mavros 就安装完成了!
