    Hello,

    I was testing out how to build ros nodes within voxl-emulator and following instructions from the README on this page:
    https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/ros/voxl-nodes

    When running ./build.sh, the compilation fails with fatal error: sensor-imu/sensor_imu_api.h: No such file or directory. I am using voxl-emulator v1.4. How can I obtain the package?

        As a workaround, can you please try this?

        1. In voxl-emulator, edit /etc/opkg/opkg.conf and add the following line to the end of the file: "src/gz stable http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/stable".
        2. Then run: sudo opkg update
        3. Then run: sudo opkg install imu_app
        4. Finally: ./build.sh

        It seems there is some incompatibility with our v1.4 emulator that needs to be fixed
