      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?

              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.

                          Here I have turned the drone about an inch to the left.

                            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

                                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” ?

                                        @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?

                                          I unplugged the GPS from the Seeker. I am still not able to get position control in MAVLink and my Odometry x y values are still at 0.
                                          Maybe the last option to do is to re-calibrate my cameras...
