Hello,

I've been trying to run Mavros on my VOXL-flight from inside a docker container. I've been following these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ and finally got the code to work. However, I got an error on QGC saying "no offboard signal". Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Also, my goal is to make the drone hover at a certain height (for example 3ft) without it going up or down. is there a way to achieve that without using ROS? I followed these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-qvio-server-0_9/ and got VIO working. However, when I move the drone sideways, it does not stay exactly at 3ft. My plan is to take pictures of a pillar at different heights. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

@Zachary-Lowell-0 thanks for the help. it works now, but it says "no offboard signal". do you have any idea why?

@Zachary-Lowell-0 thank you. I'll try that and let you know if it works.

Hello,

I've been trying to run mavros from inside a docker container, but it does not seem to be communicating with QGC. I keep getting this error message. Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

@jonathankampia got it. Thank you so much.

@jonathankampia sorry for asking so many questions, I have no experience with development drones, but I need to get this done for my research project. I am a grad student.

@jonathankampia thanks a lot. This is very helpful.
I have another issue now. I deleted ROS indigo in an attempt to install ROS melodic, but I am having a hard time re-installing it since VOXL-Flight does not support apt-get. Do you know how I can re-install it?

@Zachary-Lowell-0 thank you. Do you have any tips on how I can do that?

Hello,

I've been trying to set up my drone to fly autonomously for my research (I'll be flying it indoors). I wanted to follow these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ but my drone came with ROS Indigo installed. Can anybody tell me if the VOXL-Flight is compatible with ROS Melodic? I was thinking of uninstalling ROS indigo to install ROS Melodic. My goal is to fly the drone around a pillar and take photos. Please any tips would be much appreciated. Also, If you know another way, please let me know as well.

@tpavlic did you find the CAD files?
