I have now teted it on a drone with an px4_fmu6xrt controller and have the same issue there. Also when trying the example from the new dynamic mode system it works for ~3 seconds and then the fmu crashes completly and needs to be power cycled (on both the rover and the drone).
This is the output over the serial consol when trying the dynamic mode:
WARN [health_and_arming_checks] No response from 0, flagging unresponsive WARN [failsafe] Failsafe activated INFO [commander] Disarmed by auto preflight disarming INFO [logger] closed logfile, bytes written: 412989 INFO [commander] Connection to ground station lost
Here is a flight log of the dynamic mode test on a drone: https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=d631e501-5910-41fc-ba1e-36deab1da9cc
important to get that solved cause we like to test UWB based indoor localization and navigation from ROS2. @bkueng
I found the issue: We are running these vehicles indoors without a gps signal and apparently for velocity control there is still gps needed. I tested it with attitude control and it now works (the "old" offboard mode).
@hamishwillee maybe this could be a little clearer in the px4 docu
Hi @NXPBenjaminK , I'm glad that you found the root of the issue.
Yeah, looking into it the error message is quite unclear https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/1c25d65a1ecd9fb1c405c60ecf75791c93d0754e/src/modules/commander/HealthAndArmingChecks/checks/modeCheck.cpp#L126-L136 as it combines the condition "no stepoint" and "no valid required estimate". Thank you for raising this.
Regarding the need of gps:
https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/1c25d65a1ecd9fb1c405c60ecf75791c93d0754e/src/modules/commander/HealthAndArmingChecks/checks/offboardCheck.cpp#L38-L67
if you only have the velocity
flag set, then you need a valid velocity estimate. I does not need to come from a GPS.
Finally, the documentation https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_modes/offboard.html#ros-2-messages says that velocity is needed :)
Describe the bug
Hi! I have written a node, which publishes velocity offboard-commands using the uxrce-dds-bridge. The trajectory_setpoint and offboard_control_mode messages get transmitted and are visible in uorb (see below) However when i try to switch to offboard mode, i get the following error (see sreenshot below): "Critical: Switching to mode 'Offboard' is currently not possible No offboard signal"
Arming the vehicle via uxrce_dds bridge while in offboard-mode and with skipping of the pre-flight checks causes the vehicle to immediatly go into failsafe with the same error.
Using the px4_ros_com offboard_control node causes the same problem.
The relevant part of my code:
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
Rover should slowly drive West
