    Hello all,

    What is the frame of reference used by the MAVROS node for publishing the /mavros/local_position/pose topic? If it's not in ENU, how can I convert this topic to use ENU as the reference frame?

      @SMRazaRizvi , the reference frame should be NED (convention that is used in PX4) - can you please check if that makes sense?

      For conversion, perhaps this would help : https://answers.ros.org/question/336814/how-to-change-ned-to-enu/
