Hi everyone. I’ve run into an issue where I am able to send a MISSION\_COUNT messages (as per the mission protocol) to a drone, but the drone does not respond with the necessary MISSION\_REQUEST\_INT in order to process each waypoint. This is working fine in the SITL, and other messages such as COMMAND\_LONG and PARAM\_SET are taken onboard by the drone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

What PX4 version is that?

Have you considered using MAVSDK for mission upload. It basically takes care of that meta protocol, getting the right messages back and forth.
