Problems to mount RF-based range sensor models on USV

[jcobano]

Hi,

we have mounted several mbzirc_rf_long_range sensors on the USV and only the last one mounted works. We need this setup to relative localization of the drone wrt USV. This setup is typically used due to the size of USV.

We have checked with camera, lidar and radar sensors and have verified that more than one can be mounted and works.

Are we mounting it wrong or is it for another reason? We run:
ros2 launch mbzirc_ign spawn.launch.py name:=usv world:=coast model:=usv x:=-1462 y:=-16.5 z:=0.3 R:=0 P:=0 Y:=0 slot4:=mbzirc_rf_long_range slot5:=mbzirc_rf_long_range

If we spawn a drone, only sensor in slot5 works.

Thanks,
José Antonio Cobano

hi, we are only allowing one RF range sensor per vehicle. I've updated the Robot and Sensor API wiki page to mention this.
