5 | | -Repository structure: |
| 5 | +## Hardware requirements |
6 | 6 |
|
7 | | -* **drone_employee** - quadrotor behaviour |
8 | | -* **small_atc** - small air traffic controller |
9 | | -* **small_atc_msgs** - ATC common messages |
| 7 | +* UAV with MAVLink-compatible flight controller ([APM](http://ardupilot.com/), [PX4](http://px4.io/)) |
| 8 | +* GPS/GLONASS module |
| 9 | +* Wireless Internet provider (LTE/3G modem) |
| 10 | +* Linux-compatible single board computer (RaspberryPi2) |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +In other case you can use the *Software In The Loop* solution for testing described down. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Installation |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +The **AIRA ROS Bridge** instance is needed, installation and simple usage described [there](https://github.com/aira-dao/aira_ros_bridge/tree/master/aira_ros_bridge). |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Software In The Loop instance installation described [there](https://github.com/aira-dao/aira-IoT/blob/master/ROS/dron_ros_tutorial/doc/Simulation.md). |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +The next, create workspace and clone the repo: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + $ mkdir workspace/src -p |
| 23 | + $ cd workspace/src && catkin_init_workspace |
| 24 | + $ git clone https://github.com/DroneEmployee/drone_employee_ros.git |
| 25 | + $ cd .. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Install dependecies by *rosdep*: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + $ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Build the packages: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + $ cakin_make |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Solidity contracts |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The *smart contract* should be registered before using the **Drone Employee**. |
| 38 | +The contracts **small_atc.sol** and **drone_employee.sol** from [contracts repository](https://github.com/DroneEmployee/contracts) should be compiled by any solidity compiler, [online compier](https://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity/) for example. |
| 39 | +Compiled contracts passed to network by any Ethereum client, returned contract address in future used by **AIRA ROS Bridge** as argument. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Launch |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Builded workspace should be added to ROS env: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + $ source workspace/devel/setup.sh |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +The next you should run [GEth node](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/geth) and [AIRA ROS Bridge](https://github.com/aira-dao/aira_ros_bridge/tree/master/aira_ros_bridge): |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + $ geth & |
| 50 | + $ cd /path/to/aira_ros_bridge |
| 51 | + $ node start.js CONTRACT_ADDRESS |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### The Air Traffic Controller |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Simple run the launch: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + $ roslaunch small_atc atc.launch |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### The Drone Employee |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +#### Simulation |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Run the SITL: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + $ cd /path/to/ArduCopter |
| 66 | + $ export PATH=$PATH:../ardupilot/Tools/autotest |
| 67 | + $ fg_quad_view.sh & sim_vehicle.sh --map --console |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Launch the ROS node: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + $ roslaunch drone_employee apm_sitl.launch |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +#### Hardware |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Difference from upper is a using real **ArduPilot** or **PX4** hardware connected by UART or USB port. |
| 76 | +For using serial port in launch file you should set the **fcu_url** parameter: |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + $ roslaunch drone_employee apm_sitl.launch fcu_url:=/dev/ttyUSB0:115200 |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +The argument is a serial device and baudrate. |
