      Hello, everyone:

      I have the VOXL 2 Flight Deck and am interested in doing a precision landing applications for outdoor flight. So, I'd like to take off run a QGC mission based on GPS way points and then return to the take-off coordinates and precision land using a April/ArUco tag. I checked the docs and learnt about the april-tag detector service as well as the ROS integration through voxl-map-to-ros-node. I can use MAVROS to load and carry out the mission, but the topics publish by the voxl ROS node do not include the April tag detection output. I wanted to know if there is there a way to take the MPA output and make it a ROS topic? or if there is a more obvious way to do something like this that I am missing?

      Thanks in advanced 🙂

          Thanks, but I was referring if there is something already built in to do this task. IN the docs you guys have a VOXL MPA to ROS. Is this feature still planned?
