Request Timeout During Catkin Build about flightgoggles HOT 13 CLOSED

Could you try getting either of these links using wget or by opening the link on a browser? For the first build, you should be connected to the internet to pull binaries.

from flightgoggles.

As a temporary work around I downloaded the binaries from the release:
https://github.com/mit-fast/FlightGoggles/releases

Comment out line 56-79 in CMakeLists.txt in src/flightgoggles/flightgoggles to be able to build without downloading.

Alright, and where does the binary need to be placed?

Yup, both wget and browser download the file just fine when connected.

I simply put it in a separate folder and launched the executable before launching the teleopExample:
roslaunch flightgoggles teleopExample.launch

The simulator however does not reset properly after crashing so maybe it's better to install it as intended, not sure if that is related.

If you unpack the release in src/flightgoggles/flightgoggles then you can start it with:
rosrun flightgoggles FlightGoggles.x86_64

Ahh, I see. Just not used to catkin a lot. Based on the comment "# Download FG executable to: ${CATKIN_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}", did you try placing the binary there? Also, what is the best way to find out the values of those variables?

Did this fix the incorrect crash reset issue?

Hi all,

This timeout might be from slow internet. I'll look into relaxing Catkin's timeout parameter.

As a workaround, try something similar to the following:

mkdir -p catkin_ws/devel/lib/flightgoggles
cd catkin_ws/devel/lib/flightgoggles
wget http://d34kgw45d3q5oc.cloudfront.net/Public/FlightGoggles/StandaloneBinaries/FlightGoggles_Linux_v2.0.0.zip
gunzip FlightGoggles_Linux_v2.0.0.zip
chmod +x FlightGoggles_Linux_v2.0.0/FlightGoggles.x86_64
# Run the executable
rosrun flightgoggles FlightGoggles.x86_64

from flightgoggles.

Note: Collisions do not reset the simulator and the simulator stops when the drone has collided. To fly around without colliders enabled for the purpose of exploring the environment, colliders can be disabled by setting ignore_collisions to true in the launch file or passing it as an argument to the launch file without editing the launch file.

E.g.
roslaunch flightgoggles teleopExample.launch ignore_collisions:=1

Unsure what "Reset" button you are referring to? I assume you mean the reset button in RVIZ in which case this is the function "The time panel also lets you reset the visualizer's internal time state -- this causes a reset of all the displays, as well as a reset of tf's internal cache of data." per RVIZ user guide (http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/UserGuide). Although this resets RVIZ, it does not reset the simulator.

Hey all, I've pushed a patch that increases the CMake download timeout to 1 hour. You should be able to build as normal without workarounds. If you need more time, increase the timeout in flightgoggles/CMakeLists.txt line 47.

Thank you so much. The patch works fine.
