I am currently working on an application of drone sensing and I am trying to learn drone programming through ROS, to design multi-functions for an auto-drone operation. I simply need a standard ROS code for drone (e.g. position control function, sensing, etc).

Hi Ali,
If you want to build an autonomous drone based on ROS, you have lot of resources available:
-First you need a FCU (flight Control Unit) that will pilot the motors based on sensors feedback (IMU, GPS...). It could be a PixRacer or pixhawk for instance,
- On the software side, since you want to use ROS, I suggest you take a look at MAVROS which allows you to get info from FCU and send commands to FCU via ROS (http://wiki.ros.org/mavros)
- Then depending on what you want to implement, you can look at different resources which provide open source softwares - if you explain more precisely what you want to do, I can tell you where to look.
Hope that help

Fabrice Noreils thank you very much for your valuable input. I will start with MAVROS. Anymore questions, I will add to this question thread.
again, thank you for your input
