    Hi,

    I'm working with a Starling 2 drone (ModalAI) and using ROS2 for a figure-8 flight. I ran the following commands on the VOXL2 terminal:

    Terminal 1: voxl-vision-hub
    Terminal 2: ros2 run voxl_offboard_figure8 voxl_offboard_figure8
    After that the drone didn't takeoff well, and then after start_landing, the process gets stuck there.

    Additionally, after this attempt, the drone only responds in manual mode—position hold and offboard mode are unresponsive using the controller, despite the mode changes appearing correctly on the portal when I changes the mode on the controller.

    Please can someone guide me on resolving these issues?

    Thank you!

      @Muhammad-Kazim You'll probably need to provide some logs and maybe a video for anyone to help. Turn on high rate and debug logging from the SDLOG_PROFILE parameter on the PX4, and then pull the .ULG file generated from your test flight (Stored at /data/px4/log/ on the voxl2) and upload it here:
      http://flight-review.modalai.com/ , then send the link in the thread.

      I don't have any advice for fixing the issue, hopefully other people can use the log info to help you.
