Hello everyone,

My colleagues from Unmanned Life and I are thrilled to announce the release of psdk_ros2, an open-source ROS 2 wrapper that integrates the capabilities of DJI’s PSDK libraries with the ROS 2 ecosystem. This wrapper allows you to control most DJI copters directly from ROS 2 removing the need for any bridging software.

Main Features:

  • Essential data and information exposed by the PSDK libraries is now available in ROS 2
  • Control DJI copters using position, velocity, and angle commands from ROS 2
  • Standardized inputs and outputs following ROS standards (REP 105 and REP 103)
  • Payload and gimbal management via ROS 2 services
  • Camera streaming available

Can we operate/test the drone in simulator using this wrapper in DJI assistance 2?

Hi,
Yes, you can use the wrapper with HITL using the DJI Assistant 2 simulator.
