    Hello

    We are having a issue with our Voxl 2 mini being unable to run missions.

    We have an M10S GPS and a QMC5883L compass (the 3DR board) attached.

    Both voxl-inspect-gps and px4-listener report that the board is working

    We calibrated the compass and we have a fix in QGround

    However, we are unable to use the mission or PosHold flight modes.

    The errors we recieve are "no local position" and "no global position"

    While our mounting isnt optimal, we do not believe it's due to noise, as our arming status changes from "Ready" to "Not Ready" whenever we select a gps dependent mode

    Is there another setting in the parameters or the voxl we are missing?

    Thanks
    Jeremy

      @jeremyrbrown5 We have figured it out. It was the parameters SYS_HAS_MAG and SYS_HAS_GPS. Will be testing autonomous flight tomorrow!
