  Hey James,

  Thanks for the tip, installing via apt install voxl-mapper and then running with systemctl start voxl-mapper worked out of the box.

  Kind regards,
  Griffin

  Hello,

  I've been trying to run Mavros on my VOXL-flight from inside a docker container. I've been following these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ and finally got the code to work. However, I got an error on QGC saying "no offboard signal". Does anyone know what the issue might be?

  Also, my goal is to make the drone hover at a certain height (for example 3ft) without it going up or down. is there a way to achieve that without using ROS? I followed these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-qvio-server-0_9/ and got VIO working. However, when I move the drone sideways, it does not stay exactly at 3ft. My plan is to take pictures of a pillar at different heights. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  @smilon The parameter EKF2_REQ_SACC sets the maximum allowable speed accuracy. If you increase that value does the warning go away? Can you post a log?

  I'm trying to use rviz to view the pointcloud made by the seeker. I'm using these instructions: https://docs.modalai.com/seeker-user-guide-vio/

  Upon running roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch, I get this output:

  ... logging to /home/root/.ros/log/7c7e0f0e-1dda-11b2-a220-18473db1c84b/roslaunch-apq8096-21073.log
