    I'm trying to use rviz to view the pointcloud made by the VOXL cam on seeker. I'm using these instructions: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cam-user-guide-core/

    I also tried building a ros node from here: https://docs.modalai.com/building-ros-nodes/ (used the mpa_to_ros gitlab)

    However, upon running roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch, I get this output:

    ... logging to /home/root/.ros/log/7c7e0f0e-1dda-11b2-a220-18473db1c84b/roslaunch-apq8096-21073.log
    Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
    Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
    Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.

    started roslaunch server http://192.168.8.1:39686/
