Hello,

I've been trying to run Mavros on my VOXL-flight from inside a docker container. I've been following these instructions  https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ and finally got the code to work. However, I got an error on QGC saying "no offboard signal". Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Also, my goal is to make the drone hover at a certain height (for example 3ft) without it going up or down. is there a way to achieve that without using ROS? I followed these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-qvio-server-0_9/ and got VIO working. However, when I move the drone sideways, it does not stay exactly at 3ft. My plan is to take pictures of a pillar at different heights. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
