Firstly, thank you so much for this indigo compatible package.

The documentation of official package mentions that it uses PS3 joystick, I am not using exactly PS3 one but another brand instead. It worked well with hector's package before.

Reference: http://wiki.ros.org/tum_simulator

After I tried your indigo compatible package ardrone_joystick, ran rosrun ardrone_joystick ardrone_teleop, the following message is shown.

[ INFO] [1476899665.262726295]: Started ArDrone joystick-Teleop
[ INFO] [1476899665.262783961]: Press and hold L1 for takeoff

[ INFO] [1476899665.262818833]: Press 'start' to enable/disable the controller

There is no response after I followed the steps above, so what is the correct procedure to get it work ?

hello，thank you for your work. when i completed the catkin_make ssuccessfully，i want to driver the ardrone but i doubt how to link the ardrone in the simulation atmosphere.

Does a calibrated camera config(.cfg) file exist for the ardrone camera in tum simulator? If not how to create one?

When I try to build the simulator, I get the following error,

[ 93%] Built target hector_gazebo_quadrotor_simple_controller
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

3 times.

When I try to get the navigation info, while running the simulator, as

The navigation info

rostopic echo /ardrone/navdata

I seem to get the following error in the terminal.

ERROR: Cannot load message class for [ardrone_autonomy/Navdata]. Are your messages built?

I am able to get the sonar height information using,
rostopic echo /sonar_height

Firstly thank you for this source, we use it our term project.

There is a small mistake in How to install the simulator:Download dependencies.
It is written "git clone https://github.com/tum-vision/tum_simulator.git" on this part but it should be "
git clone https://github.com/occomco/tum_simulator.git"

Best Regards.

I am using ROS Indigo and Gazebo 7. I have looked at many answers and it seems Gazebo 7 works well with Indigo. I found a similar problem faced by someone else and he suggested to do the following changes to make it work with Indigo. tum-vision/tum_simulator#8
I edited all the header and cpp files as mentioned but still it's not working. Please help.

Until this step in the installation everything goes well. When doing it only with the ardrone_autonomy package there is no error. SO i deduced there is something wrong ith hte tum_simulator package. Which gazebo version did you use? I am using Gazebo 7 and looking into the errors that the compilation gave me it seems that is because the version. I will put one erro like a example:

/usr/include/gazebo-7/gazebo/common/Event.hh: In instantiation of ‘gazebo::event::ConnectionPtr gazebo::event::EventT::Connect(const boost::function&) [with T = void(const gazebo::common::UpdateInfo&); gazebo::event::ConnectionPtr = boost::shared_ptrgazebo::event::Connection]’:
