    Hi,
    We are trying to set up a starling drone following the developer Boot-camp, but we haven't been able to get that the voxl-mavlink-server service runs. Even it fails at executing a 'service factory_enable'. Can you help us with this issue?

      @juancangaritan It seems as though you have a package mismatch somewehere. Can you run voxl-version and post the output here?

        @tom Hi Tom, thanks for your response. I decide to flash a new image to solve the package mismatch, but now I'm unable to install Ros melodic.

        I'm not sure if this issue is due to the package manager version or is there something here I'm missing?

          @juancangaritan Okay it looks like you're running a pre-release version of the SDK now, which is still under test but is looking good at this point.

          If you run apt-get update are you able to install?
          Are you following a specific ros guide from us?

              @juancangaritan Weird, I don't know why the source isn't there by default, try this:

              sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
              
              sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
              
              sudo apt update
              
              apt install -y ros-melodic-ros-base ros-melodic-image-transport
