    Hello, I have a Seeker with VOXL v1.12.0 installed.

    I'm trying to control it with ROS using MAVROS. I can run it in the kinetic docker but not on the VOXL itself, do you know if there is a way to do it?
    Also, I'm trying to use the drone for indoor applications, I tested the code in gazebo and everything works fine, but when I test it on the drone, I can switch to offboard mode but mavros keeps asking me for a GPS signal and the drone arms but doesn't take off... is there a way to disabilitate the GPS?

      When I attempt to use my drone for GPS-denied applications indoors with QGroundControl (QGC), I am unable to switch to offboard mode. However, it works perfectly fine outdoors. My question is whether there are specific PX4 parameters I need to change or if my Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) is not functioning correctly.

        @LR

        Are you able to fly seeker indoor (for which no GPS available) with Position mode?

        If not, for seeker to use VIO as position estimate you need to use this set of parameter for px4.
