ap-swarm-launcher

Simplified ArduPilot SITL launcher for multi-drone simulations. Runs multiple ArduPilot SITL instances in parallel, managed by a central process supervisor that merges the standard output streams of individual processes and configures the SITL instances to start the drones from a grid-like formation.

Installation

We use poetry to manage a Python virtual environment that will contain all the dependencies. Install poetry first if you don't have it yet, then follow these steps:

  1. Clone this repository.

  2. Run poetry install to create a virtualenv and install all the dependencies in it.

  3. Run poetry run ap-sitl-swarm SITL_PATH to launch a single SITL instance with a pre-compiled SITL executable at ${SITL_PATH}. Use the -h switch for more options.

Tested on Linux and macOS. May or may not work on Windows.
