修改CMakeLists.txt
vi src/offb/CMakeLists.txt

## Declare a C++ executable
## With catkin_make all packages are built within a single CMake context
## The recommended prefix ensures that target names across packages don‘t collide
# add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}_node src/offb_node.cpp)
add_executable(offb_node src/offb_node.cpp)  # 添加到提示位置

编译
catkin build

运行
可以控制飞机
