Disclaimer: I am not a Robotics/ROS person. I am an AI engineer by profession. So, I am new to all of this.

I am working on a VTOL quad tailsitter project. So, I need a simulation to work with. My management has been using Gazebo harmonic SIM and ArduPilot or PX4 for SITL. They were using quadcopter models for their previous projects hence they don't have any reference for the specific model we have. The physical model of the VTOL is an X-wing quad tailsitter.

I am using PX4 quadtailsitter which can be accessed through make px4_sitl gz_quadtailsitter and I exhausted more time than I should but I still couldn't perform a simple mission like go from A to B. The problem in my understanding is occurring during the transition phase. For some god forbidden reason, its not properly transitioning. I am using mavlink/mavsdk commands but I don't think that's the problem either since its not properly working even when I use pxh shell commands.

I don't what should I do. So, I would like to ask you guys to how to resolve this? If it's not resolvable or need more time investment to patch up, can you guys recommend some other easy and ready to use stack because I should start training my model as early as possible.

I am working on an autonomous drone model. I decided to use MPC and used acados to implement it python. I am using Gazebo and ArduPilot for simulation. The mission is just go from point A to point B hold there a while and return to point A.

But tuning the parameters using a trail and error approach is taxing me heavily. I am so close to break my keyboard. The LLM bots are throwing some values and vague promises which in fact doesn't.

So, is there any method to handle this madness? A rule of thumb? Empirical / heuristic approach to get a good enough results?

PS: Tbh, I am new to this and I am building this while studying repos available. I don't even know what I am doing is a correct way or not. I would really appreciate any suggestions from you guys to complete this god damn project and move on.
