        @Jetson-Nano The command would be something like mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -u 14556 and would be added to one of the startup files.

          @Eric-Katzfey The documentation explains how to send custom mavlink messages, but odometry is not a custom message and isn't it streamed by default in your forked PX4?

            @Jetson-Nano The command is the same regardless of whether the message is custom or not. Another thing you can do is enable some of the debug flags available with voxl-vision-hub to see things like which mavlink messages it is receiving and which mavlink messages it is sending out. There are a variety of flags to choose from and that would help to figure out what is going wrong.

                voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

                I am getting

                and in mavlink console when I stream Odometry message as you said I am getting no output

                when I used -d instead of -u it shows device not running. I tried with different ports

                  Hey @Eric-Katzfey , I think I solved it. I got the odometry stream to VOXL2 from Cube. I had to run

                  mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -d /dev/ttyS0

                  after this I got odometry stream on the

                  voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

                  56d52bb8-1a8c-40ef-ae11-d80bdf51e74e-image.png

                    @Jetson-Nano Great! And is that now allowing you to run the figure 8?

                      @Eric-Katzfey I haven't done the flight test. I'll do the flight test and get back to you.

                        @Eric-Katzfey , I did the flight test and it works fine. Thank you.

                        But there is a problem, when I am checked 1st time it worked fine, later after a reboot and once again I ran the Mavlink Odometry stream, the terminal was lagging. The terminal with the output of voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard this is lagging. The Odometry Hz was somewhere around 5 - 10, all the output in the terminal was lagging, so I though it was some WiFi issue and again tested offboard mode, but this time the drone went back to home.

                        So I rebooted the system and again ran the mavlink stream and waited for sometime until the lag in the voxl terminal is not there anymore, then when I tested offboard it was fine. I tried both figure eight and trajectory, both worked fine. I will attach the logs, can you please tell what might have caused the lag?

                          And I have one more question @Eric-Katzfey , I have to start the mavlink stream everytime. Is there a way to start the mavlink stream as soon the system is powered on?

                            @Jetson-Nano Yes, there is a way to do that. Probably best to consult the PX4 documentation or ask on the PX4 forum for best way to do that on a Cube Orange.

                                @Jetson-Nano I really don't know what would cause that lag. You say it goes away if you wait awhile. How long do you have to wait for that to happen? And what is the baud rate of the UART that connects the CUBE Orange to VOXL 2? It's possible that the UART has too much data going over it and needs a higher baudrate.

                                  @Eric-Katzfey The baudrate is 921600, sometimes I'll have to wait for more than 5 minutes and sometimes within seconds it will be ready to fly with required Hz

                                    @Jetson-Nano Part of the startup sequence when running with QGC or MP is to upload a full set of parameters. There are hundreds of parameters and this can take quite a while to complete. While this is happening the serial link is inundated with PARAM_VALUE mavlink messages. Once that has been completed then the link will have much less traffic. While it is laggy you can look at the mavlink console and see if it is receiving those PARAM_VALUE messages. That is a possible reason.

                                      @Eric-Katzfey I'm currently integrating VOXL2 with Flight Core V2.

                                      PX4 version: v1.14.3 (from modalAI fork)

                                      I am trying to use offboard mode and do figure-eight, but the problem I'm facing is, whenever I switch to offboard, the drone sometimes moves randomly.

                                      Once I reboot the FC once and start flying from same position, and then switching to offboard, I observe that the drone does figure 8, but loses height sequentially and drifts over the ground and crashes after a few cycles.

                                      For height estimation, I rely on using a Rangefinder.

                                      Also, when I run,

                                      voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

                                      I'm not able to observe, the #331 ODOMETRY message.

                                      785e6c2e-8a6b-4ff6-807a-2f842ec8073f-image.png

                                        @Jetson-Nano What happens if you don't use the rangefinder? If VIO is working then you get the height from that.

                                          @Eric-Katzfey Thanks for reverting back.

                                          I had tried earlier disabling the Rangefinder and relying only on VIO.

                                          VIO works fine in feature rich environment, when it crosses low-feature environment, there is a random motion of system which could observed serving the main reason for using external Rangefinder.

                                          Also, height estimation goes off even if the drone does figure-eight within offboard, height estimation goes off.

                                          Is there any way I can view the #331 ODOMETRY message being pushed from FC to Compute?

                                            Hey @Eric-Katzfey I was able to solve it. I was able to shift the drone to offboard-mode, the drone doesn't drift away. In voxl-vision-hub, I have the set the parameter to figure_eight.

                                            I'm getting the stream to VOXL2 from Flight Core v2. I had to run it on 2 different ports.

                                            mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -d /dev/ttyS4
                                            mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -d /dev/ttyS6
                                            But I'm getting the #331 odometry message when using only ttyS6 port.

                                            Screenshot from 2024-11-25 18-52-49.png

                                            Now the drone is able to figure_eight loop without loosing height estimates.
