    I have seen multiple posts on this forum with the same issue and tried multiple solutions but none of them seem to work

    Screenshot 2023-07-18 at 12.37.38 AM.png

    some of the things I have tried.

    • changing sdk versions (tldr: upgraded from 0.9.4 -> 0.9.5, it wasn't working.)
      voxl upgrade guide
      "connected to voxl-mavlink-server but no messages from PX4"

    • checked and "external_fc" is false
      "Connected to voxl-mavlink-server but no messages from PX4" again 🙂

    • tried monitoring if mavlink is sending messages. and nothing works.

    • something that is potentially interesting. this down here wasn't the case before.

    • followed this guide.
      Connect m500 to PX4

    • checked for loose connections. unplugged and plugged everything back in
      loose connection

    • I want to try this solution but I can't get a wired connection to qgroundcontrol. any help with that would be appreciated
      wired connection to qgc solution

    Thank you for your time and help,

        for anyone who has the voxl-qvio issue where it says state FAIL, just try centering (using your fingers and wiggling) the voxl board and it will work. I think it just needs to be centered.
