@teddy-zaremba Thank you. I installed MicroDDS and am running the agent in VOXL2. I just enabled it and made sure the necessary services are running, but it looks like I got the same result as before, where nothing would happen after supposedly the Arm command was sent. Is there anything else I could be missing?
@Eric-Katzfey Hi again. I just tried flying it again and the drone did not default to running the Figure Eight program this time, but instead it did nothing once I swapped the controller to offboard mode. It did not arm, the props did not spin, or anything like that, but did absolutely nothing. I made sure to set "offboard_mode": "off" in voxl-vision-hub. I've attached a screenshot of my terminal below.
Hello,
I recently started working with a Starling drone with VOXL2 and ROS2, and I am having a bit of trouble trying to run a sample offboard program I found from the PX4 website. I followed the steps on the website to upload and run a program that allows the drone to send setpoints, enter offboard mode, arm, fly five meters into the air, and finally wait. However, when attempting to run the program, the default Figure 8 program on the drone runs instead. This is the link to the guide I followed: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/ros2/offboard_control.html
Additionally, I also ran the command voxl-vision-hub in the terminal with some of the outputted information shown below:

It should be noted that the drone has Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS2 foxy. The PX4 and Mavlink services are also enabled and running. I'm wondering if there is a step I'm missing or some software that I am missing. Anything helps. Thank you.
