    I have a Sentinel drone with the latest VOXL SDK 1.0.

    I am using MAVROS to control the drone. I can arm it in MANUAL mode, however, I am unable to arm my drone in OFFBOARD mode.

    I am publishing a proof of life, by publishing a local goal pose onto the ROS topic /mavros/setpoint_position/local , and requesting a mode change using the service /mavros/set_mode. The drone successfully switches to the OFFBOARD mode but doesn't arm.

    How can I solve this?

      @SMRazaRizvi in order to arm drone in offboard mode, px4 must be first able to arm in position mode. i would recommend checking if this drone arms in position mode (not manual)
