    I am not able to get any X/Y values in my MAVLink Odometry or in my LOCAL_POSITION_NED.
    I have done research into this issue, but could not find a solution for my setup.

    Could someone please point out my problem?

      There is no position control for indoor flights.

          I am currently on the PX4 ModalAi build Firmware, but I was also getting the Reject Position Control error and 0 values for X & Y in MAVLink Odometry in QCS for the PX4 Mainline build Firmware.

            I have also tried doing the following;

            voxl:~$ voxl-reset-qvio
            Sending hard reset command to voxl-qvio-server
            success
            

            &

            voxl:~$ systemctl restart voxl-qvio-server
            

            After executing these commands, the X & Y values did not change from 0.

              Here are my voxl-vision-px4 -o readouts;
              There are definitely errors in the VIO data through the pipe, I just don't know how to fix it.

              If anyone has any ideas to fix this issue, I'm all ears 👂

                Could this issue be coming from imu0 and imu1?

                  Has anyone had this error message on their system?

                  ERROR validating VIO data received through pipe: read partial packet
                  read 156 bytes, but it should be a multiple of 324
                  

                  If so, how was it resolved?

                  Here is my debug odometry;

                  There is also one VOA manager WARNING in my odometry debug, with no attitude data from px4....

                    From the Troubleshooting VIO docs, can you try these steps?

                      @Chad-Sweet Yes, I have read through those steps and tried them. All of my cameras are viewable in voxl-portal. I have also ran the voxl-inspect-qvio and the status was ok with no error's.

                                The qvio-overlay in voxl-portal is interesting, but from the voxl-inspect-qvio it looks like VIO is working properly. It's mostly likely PX4 is rejecting position mode, usually because it requires a magnetometer.

                                This section covers position mode rejected issues

                                Do you have a magnetometer connected? If not, are you sure PX4 is not expecting one?

                                  The qvio-overlay in voxl-portal is interesting, but from the voxl-inspect-qvio it looks like VIO is working properly. It's mostly likely PX4 is rejecting position mode, usually because it requires a magnetometer.

                                  This section covers position mode rejected issues

                                  Do you have a magnetometer connected? If not, are you sure PX4 is not expecting one?

                                  @Chad-Sweet I haven't added anything special to my Seeker setup.

                                    @Chad-Sweet
                                    SYS_HAS_MAG
                                    SYS_HAS_MAG.png

                                    EKF2_MAG_TYPE
                                    EKF2_MAG_TYPE.png

                                    So, I should enter the 0 value for SYS_HAS_MAG
                                    and 5 for the EKF2_MAG_TYPE?

                                      If you are using PX4 1.12 or later, and do not have a magnetometer, and want to use VIO, yes.

                                          @Chad-Sweet There is not an option for 5 in EKF2_MAG_TYPE.
                                          Should I leave this at “Automatic” or select “None” ?
