Partial sim with Gaz

24.0202

PART B Sim partial. I ran a simulation with Gazebo (simulation of world and copter), real camera + AI (python script), and python script to load mission plan (created in Mission Planner) and run the mission (using mavlink commands to the sim copter). I restarted everything before starting, and everything up no problem.

Note: The simulation camera does not work (I don't need it anyway). This is probably because I installed a different version of ROS without uninstalling the existing version (there were error messages about this during ROS installation). ROS is difficult to uninstall and you can't simply install a new version over the old version. I normally reinstall the OS before installing a new version of ROS (the user name for my current Ubuntu install is "tt15", where the "15" stands for the 15th installation of Ubuntu required because of ROS).
