Hello,

I hope you are well. I am following the [How to Run MAVROS](https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/) tutorial. So far, I've been able to follow the entire tutorial without issues. I'm working on launching the simple-example demo by running the command `./run_mavros_test.sh`. 

I'm currently running this command on a VOXL2, but it is not mounted on any drone. The VOXL2 only has some image sensors attached, but that's it. When I run the command ` ./run_mavros_test.sh`, it runs, but then terminal stops printing at `[ INFO] [1716998627.576438699]: waiting for offboard mode`.

What is the issue with `offboard mode`? 

Earlier, terminal printed some lines which read as follows:

`[ WARN] [1716998622.782124555]: Could not retrive negate_measured_roll parameter value, using default (0)`
`[ WARN] [1716998622.782390009]: Could not retrive negate_measured_pitch parameter value, using default (0)`
`[ WARN] [1716998622.784349536]: Could not retrive negate_measured_yaw parameter value, using default (0)`
`[ WARN] [1716998622.786280367]: Could not retrive debounce_s parameter value, using default (4.000000)`
`[ WARN] [1716998622.786552227]: Could not retrive err_threshold_deg parameter value, using default (10.000000)`

I then ran the commands 
`roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch`, 
`systemctl start voxl-px4-imu-server`, 
`systemctl enable voxl-px4-imu-server`, and 
`./run_mavros_test.sh`
but I still have not fixed the issue with offboard mode.

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix offboard mode?

Thanks!
