    Hello,

    In voxl-mapper, the drone does not move even if I select "Follow Path" in "Plan Home" or "Plan to a Point".

    The result of "voxl-mapper -d" shows "sending trajectory to plan channel", so it seems to be working fine.
    But, voxl-vision-px4 shows the following error:

    Jan 01 00:03:57 apq8096 voxl-vision-px4[2165]: ERROR validating trajectory data received through pipe: read partial packet
    Jan 01 00:03:57 apq8096 voxl-vision-px4[2165]: read 7936 bytes, but it should be a multiple of 7940
    

    Is there something wrong with the settings?

    I used dev branch, and each version is as follows.

      Hey @JP-Drone,

      Thanks for pointing this out, voxl-vision-px4 was an update ahead of voxl-mapper. I just pushed up a patch (v0.0.5) that should fix this issue.

        @Matt-Turi Thank you for your quick response.
        After updating to v0.0.5, it worked!
