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/
