offboard_control doesn't work

[devlinchau]

Hi,

Trying out the ROS2 branch, I have terminal 1 (PX4 and Gazebo) and terminal 2 (ROS gz bridge) running, but terminal 3 (offboard_control) doesn't seem to be working. I continously get the error message:

"Offboard could not be set, make sure the vehicle position is published or check if there are some preflight checks failing... will try again in 1 second."

I have just pulled the repo, opened it in the devcontainer, and run the specified commands in the README. Only thing is that I have a newer AMD gpu and so it is not being utilized. I was able to run this repo a few months back, but now I am facing this issue.

Looks like I have the same issue on my computer. I see that I didn't pin the version of PX4 in the dockerfile. With the commit above, it uses now a fixed PX4 version (commit close to time I added the ros2 branch in this repo). I also updated the code/config to work with that version.

Update repo and do > Dev Containers: Rebuild container in vscode (ctrl-shift-p).
