ROS1 Package for a UAV with Three Planar Thrusters as Add-On

This ROS1 package extends the capabilities of a UAV by adding three planar thrusters. The thrusters are strategically positioned to provide additional control and maneuverability along the horizontal plane. This package integrates with the existing UAV control system to enable planar thrust adjustments.

• Planar Thrusters: Three additional thrusters attached to the UAV, designed for planar control.
• Enhanced Maneuverability: The planar thrusters enable enhanced control and maneuverability in the horizontal plane.
• ROS1 Integration: Seamless integration with the ROS1 ecosystem for easy configuration and control.

• ROS1 (Robot Operating System 1)
• Compatible UAV platform

1. Clone this repository into your ROS1 workspace:

   git clone https://github.com/hpaul360/Planar-thrusters.git

2. Build the package:

   catkin_make

3. Source the ROS1 setup file:

   source devel/setup.bash

1. Ensure your UAV is equipped with the planar thrusters add-on.

2. Launch the ROS1 node for the planar thrusters:

   roslaunch planar_thrusters control.launch

3. The UAV is now equipped with enhanced planar control capabilities.
