The GPS navigation test is inconclusive.
The process is to roslaunch swiftnav_ros swiftnav_ros.launch
, rosrun gravl gpsToB.py
, and drive around the orange location marker close to the freight containers. The results are bearings towards the circle which trend properly, as in driving around the circle creates a smooth transition from negative to positive values on roughly the correct side of the marker. The error seems to be roughly 20 degrees off, so I suspect that the north indicator on the marker is oriented to magnetic north, wheras the tractor's bearing indicator is oriented to true north, but that is inconclusive until I talk to the coordinator.
