infinity_uwb_ros

This node is for infinity UWB module, which can be used to measure distance and broadcast data in a multiple drone swarm system.

Usage

By default, we direct plug-in the infinity UWB to the manifold by USB port. Which will use serial named /dev/ttyUSB0 and 921600 as its baudrate

roslaunch infinity_uwb_ros uwb_node.launch

Now we can only send no more than 250 byte data one time and use the send rate of 50hz

The example of /uwb_node/remote_nodes is

header:

• sys_time is LPS Time provide directly by UWB module.(unit is ms)
• remote_node_num shows all the remote node appeared, include the node that we have loss the signal.
• self_id is the id of UWB node itself which will be recognize by other UWB nodes.
• node_ids is the list of UWB node id appeared. Every id is unique and in the range of [0,10] now.
• node_dis is the last measurement of distance of the indicated node. When node disappear, this value will keep the last value.
• recv_distance_time is the time when that node recieve last distance measurement, if also we have message recieved, this time will also be the time of recieve message.
• active is if the node is still active now, when the node disappear, this value will be False.
• data_available is if last tick receive data from corrspending node.
• datas shows what message they receievd when there a data received this tick, if there is no message received, this value comes "".

Example of /uwb_node/incoming_broadcast_data is show below

header:
  seq: 1
  stamp:
    secs: 1531917314
    nsecs: 641238927
  frame_id: ''
remote_id: 3
remote_recv_time: 15453781
lps_time: 15453801
data: "TestSendingdata123"

it publish everytime a broadcast message from some node is received.

• remote_id is the id of who publish this message
• remote_recv_time is when we receive this messsage, we use distance measurement time(ms).
• lps_time is UWB system LPS time(ms).
• data is the data we received.

Subscribe

The node subscribe only

/uwb_node/send_broadcast_data

sending string data to this node just send a message to every node in the system.

uwb的配置

请问uwb 的配置是怎么样的 使用的是nooploop的linktrack 对应的话题互相接收不到

bspline package

Hello, Thank you for your contribution with Omni-Swarm!
I wanna ask about which bspline package are you using? I don't seem to find any corresponding package using CMake, only scons (https://github.com/NCAR/bspline).
Did you make your own cmakelist.txt?

Thank you!
