@tom said in Sentinel VOXL2 Ubuntu Upgrade:

@Adeeb-Abbas We haven't implemented ros2 ourselves yet so I can't give a definitive answer, however it's on our list

Oh interesting. The marketing material repeatedly said "ROS / ROS 2" so I just assumed there's some level of ROS2 support.

https://www.modalai.com/products/sentinel-development-drone?variant=40446488805427

says the following -
Software Features
PX4, ROS 1 / 2, Ubuntu 18.04, Open CV, MAVROS, MAVSDK
Open Source Linux kernel, cross-compilers
Docker build environment for CPU, GPU (OpenCL) and DSP (Hexagon SDK) heterogeneous computer vision and deep learning processing

I can second the same issue. Getting the following for the GPS message check command -

voxl2:~$ px4-listener sensor_gps

Recently received a brand new sentinel drone and wanted to try out indoor flight however QGroundControl prevents arming due to no GPS lock error. Quite similar to what's mentioned by the OP. Hoping to get a response soon. Thanks!

Please let me know if there's anything else you'd need.

@tom Gotcha, thanks for your response! I am guessing that the ROS 2 support then is only via docker then?

Is it possible to upgrade the preinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 to a more recent version of Ubuntu like Bionic or Jammy?
