ODOMETRY MESSAGE

[leonardo Andrade 0]

I'm missing the odometry message (ID 331) in QGC after updating the system to version 1.1.3.

I loaded the parameters (Indoor VIO Missing GPS) :

params/v1.14/EKF2_helpers/indoor_vio_missing_gps.params · master · voxl / VOXL SDK / Utilities / voxl-px4-params · GitLab

PX4 parameter files for use on VOXL2 and Flight Core

GitLab (gitlab.com)

However, when I use the voxl-inspect-qvio service (and take measurements with markings on the ground, the coordinates are correct/within tolerance).

When I call the service:
voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

The odometry message is there, but when I call

voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_to_gcs

Which of course reflects what is appearing in QGC (there is no odometry message, only local_position_ned).

So we're not supposed to have the odometry message in these new versions? Mainly because the PX4 v1.14 firmware no longer supports the EKF2_AID_MASK parameters, among others.

I really want to answer this question, especially to find out if I can fly autonomously.

@leonardo-Andrade-0 The startup script /usr/bin/voxl-px4-start controls the startup of the mavlink instances. The mavlink instance that sends messages to QGC enables normal mode which does not include the odometry message. But you can see in that script how you can add extra streams. So, you can add odometry with something like this:

mavlink start -x -u 14558 -o 14559 -r 100000 -n lo

mavlink stream -u 14558 -s ODOMETRY -r 30
