We are testing with the new SDK1.14 and the OpenVins implementation.
The basic test that we're doing is taking off to 1m and staying there.
What we did see is that out of 50 tests that we did, only 10 were relatively correct. The other ones where going a lot higher.

Hereby 2 flight logs that you can check :
Bad flight : https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=5e809b1e-3473-425c-8d42-9dce0472b1ef
Good flight :https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=9fdb3a61-3e4d-4eb2-9b35-10072e665f28

How can we tune the performance and accuracy of indoor flights?
Can we get some technical help on this, please?

@Eric-Katzfey, @Randy-Mackay After some more tests, we managed to get everything working.

Mission Planner on clean Windows device still had port 14550 blocked for some reason.
After a full reboot, it worked with initiating connection from the drone to the GCS.

On Mac OS, using Mission Planner via Parallels Desktop : Here, you'll need to add port forwarding of UDP Port 14550.
We've used a Shared Network and it also connect automatically from the drone to the GCS.

Thanks for your insights!

@GlennTee the problem lies in a mismatch between the topics which you see using "ros2 topic list" and the publishers from the offboard_control node.

The ros2 node has publishers defined as follows:

	OffboardControl() : Node("offboard_control")
	{

		offboard_control_mode_publisher_ = this->create_publisher<OffboardControlMode>("/fmu/in/offboard_control_mode", 10);
		trajectory_setpoint_publisher_ = this->create_publisher<TrajectorySetpoint>("/fmu/in/trajectory_setpoint", 10);
		vehicle_command_publisher_ = this->create_publisher<VehicleCommand>("/fmu/in/vehicle_command", 10);

Do you know where you changed the prefix uav_4?
I can't remember where to configure it.

So, you can change the ROS2 code, rebuild and it should work. Or remove the uav_4 prefix

@claw You'll need to change the parameter COM_RC_OVERRIDE to also allow overriding offboard mode.
