<p dir="auto"><strong>What I am trying to do:</strong><br />
Attempting to fly to indoor waypoints using voxl-mapper<br />
<strong>What actually happens:</strong> (error messages, behavior)<br />
I only got it to work so far when changing the vision-hub config file to use trajectory for the offboard_mode field. However, I noticed that the motors seem to be sputtering/making weird noises as soon as I put the vehicle into offboard mode in PX4. Have you seen this before/are you familiar with what could be causing it? The drone is able to fly to the waypoint despite these odd motor noises.</p>
<p dir="auto">The drone flies normally and does not have this behavior in position mode.<br />
<strong>Steps to reproduce:</strong><br />
Enable trajectory mode in the voxl-mapper config file and attempt to send drone on a waypoint indoors in offboard mode.<br />
