    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?

                  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?

                                  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” ?

                                          @Chad-Sweet I selected "None" for the EKF2_MAG_TYPE and entered "0" for the SYS_HAS_MAG.
                                          The Odometry x y values are still at 0.
                                          Do I need to change anything in my voxl-vision-px4.conf files now that I am not using a GPS?

                                                                                  }]                                                                                   
                                                                  }                                                                                                    
                                          

                                          Should I just unplug the Cirocomm GPS?
