Hi @Alex-Kushleyev ,
Thank you for your suggestion. Now I understood. how to use my existing stereo, and tracking cameras on voxel-2.

Hi,
I'm working with the VOXL flight. I faced some issues with making it autonomous and using ROS.
So I have decided to migrate to VOXL-2. I have a flight deck, can I swap the stereo cameras and Tracking cameras in voxl-flight to voxl-2. will it be complicated and I also want to use LIDAR and other sensors like Ultrasonic. Does anyone recommend this?

Thank you.

thank you so much, Zach. I understood the error that I got, My sole purpose is to fly autonomously without using GPS I want to add LIDAR for mapping as well. so I wanted to know how can I use ros in the voxl-flight. but I find it very hard to develop on the voxl-flight because of the support issues.
thank you for your support. I will try to install MAVSDK using Docker. Thank you so much.

I'm new to UAV development and have a ModalAI VOXL Flight Deck. I've set up the hardware (battery, receiver, motors, propellers) and can receive sensor data using ros_to_mpa. However, I'm struggling with the following:

• list itemHow can I send commands to the motor controllers? Are there ROS libraries or packages to publish cmd_vel to the motors?

• list itemCan I use MAVSDK in a Docker container to control the motors?

After updating to VOXL-SDK 1.2.0, I can't find PX4-related files.

Do I need to install PX4 firmware or additional packages separately
What's the recommended method for controlling the motors on the VOXL Flight Deck
I've tried various approaches but haven't been successful. Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated.
