## Usage
Before using any part of this repository, the jetson or other onboard computer need to have the correct hardware setup to communicate with the drone in question, see the DJI hardware [setup guide][dji hardware guide].
### Basic Usage via Launch File
To start the base set of nodes, along with a rosbag recorder, simply run `roslaunch data_capture all_rec.launch`. The `all_rec.launch` file launches the DJI onboard SDK node, the database uploader node, and the velodyne pointcloud stream node. If recording is not required `all.launch` can be used instead.
