Thanks a lot for helping me with the integration of my VOXL2 with Cube Orange. It is working well. I am also using it with the ToF, HighRes, and tracking camera from ModalAI.
Position hold using VIO and Semi-Autonomous (VOA) are also working well.

Now, I am facing an issue with the offboard mode. The moment I switch to offboard, the drone aggressively moves and crashes. (in both "figure_eight and "trajectory"). [In the offboard mode = "off", I am not able to switch to offboard. ]

There are no error messages in QGC or otherwise. Except offboard everything else works.
Could please help with this issue?
I'm working on this as a priority, so any suggestion will be quickly tested. I hope to hear from you.

Thank you

Hey @Alex-Kushleyev @Eric-Katzfey @tom

I'm using a VOXL2 compute along with Flight Core V2 as external flight controller.

PX4 version: v1.15.1 (Stable)

The VOXL2 communicates with FC as mentioned in this documentation.

For position hold I have set EV parameter using tracking camera fusing with a Optical Flow with Rangefinder onboard. I'm able to see the odometry message being shown in mavlink console on QGC. Also, I try streaming the message from VOXL2,

mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -d /dev/ttyS1

In voxl-vision-hub I have set the mode to figure_eight. But once, I switch to offboard mode from position mode the drone stays at the same place and does not perform figure 8.

Once I ssh into VOXL2, and check for mavlink status, I get the LOCAL_POSITION_NED but not #331 ODOMETRY message. How can I get that message?

Without that message I'm not sure if VIO inputs from tracking camera would be passed on to FC for fusion on switching to offboard mode of flight.

We have been looking out for VOXL Time of Flight (TOF) Depth Sensor from ModalAI products page to integrate with our VOXL2 board. But the sensor is currently unavailable for the critical time period.

The sensor provided is ToF Depth sensor from PMD. Could the same sensor module provided by PMD(ie. PMD Flexx2 3D Camera Sensor module) be directly integrated with VOXL2?
