Issues with facilitating MAVROS communication between Jetson Orin and VOXL2
-
Hi,
I have been attempting to setup communication between a VOXL2 and a Jetson AGX Orin utilizing MAVROS and have had trouble doing so. I am running ROS2 Iron on the Jetson Orin. The Orin and VOXL are connected via USB-C, both devices are fully powered on and able to be configured. The VOXL2 also is attached to an IO board that allows it to connect to QGroundControl and an RC. The VOXL2 is using SDK version 1.1.3 with the according IO version and PWM8IO installed to allow for 8 motor functionality. I have the VOXL set to wifi mode softap and the Orin on this network, and in the px4 launch config file I have the urls set according dhcp addressing as follows:
<arg name="fcu_url" default="udp://:14540@192.168.8.1:14540" />
<arg name="gcs_url" default="udp://@192.168.8.10:14550" />
When manually inspecting the MAVlink server on the VOXL2, it shows that there is a connection made, and in a separate terminal I can see the ROS2 topic list update accordingly when the node is launched via px4.launch. However, when attempting to echo these topics or view/change parameters, no information from the VOXL2 is being received. I am new to the VOXL and MAVROS systems, so any help would be appreciated in these efforts. Additionally, if this is a question better suited for the forums of MAVROS, I apologize for asking here and will move this question that way.
Thanks.
