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?

@Moderator I am aware. I've been using this drone for research purposes and I always make sure to follow safety guidelines. Thanks, I'll follow these instructions.

Hello,

I've been trying to get my m500 to hover and turn, but I keeps moving on its own to the right and left. I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2lub_OCbok and it seems like it's possible to get it to hover perfectly. Can anybody tell me how they did that? please any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to give the drone a maximum height so it stays at that altitude?

Thank you

@Vinny Thank you so much.

@Vinny I see. thank you for explaining that. can you please help me get this trick to work? every time I try the ADB devices command on the normal command prompt, it either says "ADB" not found or "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

@tom yes I do see the LEDs, and I tried using another cable.

@Vinny Hi! I tried using a shorter cable, but still. I am using a Linux sub-system on my windows laptop in order to be able to use Ubuntu. Do you think it might not be communicating correctly? I am very new to this.

@tom This is all I see. I does not seem to recognize it when it is plugged in.
