# PX4 ROS 2 Beginner Tutorials
A step-by-step guide to getting started with PX4, ROS 2, and Gazebo for drone development.
> 🚧 **Work in Progress**: This tutorial series is under active development. Currently, only the Camera Bridge tutorial is available. More tutorials will be added soon!
## 📚 What You'll Learn
This repository contains beginner-friendly tutorials for working with PX4, ROS 2, and Gazebo. Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or professional, these guides will help you build a strong foundation for drone development.
## 🗺️ Tutorial Roadmap
Here's what we're planning to cover in this series:
### Available Now
- ✅ [**Camera Feed Bridge**](camera-bridge/) - Learn how to bridge camera feeds from Gazebo to ROS 2 in PX4 simulations
### Coming Soon
- ⏳ Environment Setup - Ubuntu, ROS 2, PX4, and Gazebo installation
- ⏳ First Steps with ROS 2 - Workspaces, packages, and basic concepts
- ⏳ PX4 Simulation Basics - Running your first drone simulation
- ⏳ ROS 2 & PX4 Communication - Connecting ROS 2 to your simulated drone
- ⏳ Basic Drone Control - Simple commands for flight control
- ⏳ First Autonomous Functions - Creating basic autonomous behaviors
## 🎓 Who Is This For?
These tutorials are designed for:
- Beginners to PX4 and ROS 2
- Students working on drone projects
- Hobbyists exploring autonomous systems
- Professionals transitioning to drone development
- Anyone interested in learning drone programming step-by-step
