How To Make A Hexacopter With Ardupilot In AirSim?

I am using AirSim, and I need a hexacopter with Ardupilot based firmware. Documentation exists on how to do this with PX4, but not Ardupilot. How would I go about making this happen?

Solution

  • Open your project in Visual Studio, navigate to Plugins/AirSim/AirLib/include/vehicles/multirotor/firmwares/arducopter/ArduCopterParams.hpp Find the setupParams() method, and replace setupFrameGenericQuad(params); with setupFrameGenericHex(params);

    And set your Ardupilot FRAME param to hexacopter (this can be done in QGroundControl)
