MAVRS: offboard mode issues, ./run_mavros_test.sh

[Denver Bennett]

Hello,

I hope you are well. I am following the How to Run MAVROS tutorial. So far, I've been able to follow the entire tutorial without issues. I'm working on launching the simple-example demo by running the command ./run_mavros_test.sh.

I'm currently running this command on a VOXL2, but it is not mounted on any drone. The VOXL2 only has some image sensors attached, but that's it. When I run the command ./run_mavros_test.sh, it runs, but then terminal stops printing at [ INFO] [1716998627.576438699]: waiting for offboard mode.

What is the issue with offboard mode?

Earlier, terminal printed some lines which read as follows:

[ WARN] [1716998622.782124555]: Could not retrive negate_measured_roll parameter value, using default (0)
[ WARN] [1716998622.782390009]: Could not retrive negate_measured_pitch parameter value, using default (0)
[ WARN] [1716998622.784349536]: Could not retrive negate_measured_yaw parameter value, using default (0)
[ WARN] [1716998622.786280367]: Could not retrive debounce_s parameter value, using default (4.000000)
[ WARN] [1716998622.786552227]: Could not retrive err_threshold_deg parameter value, using default (10.000000)

I then ran the commands
roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch,
systemctl start voxl-px4-imu-server,
systemctl enable voxl-px4-imu-server, and
./run_mavros_test.sh
but I still have not fixed the issue with offboard mode.

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix offboard mode?

Thanks!
