Issue with example modes showing up in QGroundControl #17

Closed AbhinavPeri closed 6 months ago

AbhinavPeri commented 6 months ago

Going off the documentation from the PX4 docs, I have cloned this repository and built my workspace. However when I run the examples, I am not able to find the example modes in the QGroundControl Mode Selector. I can see that the node has registered the mode and that commander status recognizes the external mode. How do I get QGroundControl to show this. Alternatively, is there another way to run an external mode without using QGroundControl?

Hi @AbhinavPeri thanks for raising the issue. This is indeed a problem, in the meantime could you try again but launching QGC after running the example mode? I've also had this issue with modes not showing up properly in the ground control system if the app was already open.

I just tried it, and I still don't see the mode.

Hey @AbhinavPeri, try to use the QGC daily build as the stable release does not have the feature implemented yet, I am guessing.

Let me know if its works :).

@PerFrivik using the daily build looks like it fixed the issue. It's amazing how reinstalling software fixes so many problems. Thanks everyone for the help!

I can confirm that this is still a problem. I had to download the QGC daily build to make it appear on the flight modes
