Hey everyone, I would like to announce my recent ROS package px4_sitl which simplifies the process of PX4 SITL with gazebo and ROS.

https://github.com/shupx/px4_sitl

In the past, if someone needed to perform PX4 SITL simulation with gazebo and ROS, he should first download the PX4 source code and compile/configure it which is quite complicated and time consuming.

Now, we provide a tailored ROS package named px4_sitl which contains the compiled PX4 SITL firmware and minimal necessary gazebo plugins and models. You can launch a sim PX4 vehicle (iris/vtol/plane) just with this single package. No need for downloading PX4 source code anymore!
