No Depth Data

Hello, I am struggling to access pointcloud data from my newly purchased Sentinel Developer Drone.

If I go to the Voxl Web Portal and go to pointclouds -> voa_pc_out I see nothing.

Same with going to Mapper. Also blank.

If I ssh into the VOXL2 and run voxl-inspect-points tof_pc I will simply see "waiting for server at /run/mpa/tof_pc/".

If I do a voxl-inspect-services I see

When I run roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch and I try to run a rostopic hz /voa_pc_out it says "Interface voa_pc_out now publishing" but in the terminal when I ran the rostopic hz I see subscribed to [/voa_pc_out] and then "no new messages" printed again and again.

Do I just need to start a service or something to get pointcloud data?

It was my understanding that the sentinel drone should be able to produce pointcloud data to ros for mapping or at least be viewable from the Voxl portal so maybe I'm just missing something simple.

Thanks in advance!

NEVERMIND! I resolved the issue. Just had to do a systemctl enable voxl-dfs-server and then powercycle the drone. Hope this helps anyone in the future.
