I’m running the PX4 in sitl mode with ROS melodic with the intent to simulate a GPS denied environment. To do so I want to take my vio odometry info coming from my rgbd camera and fuse it with the EKF in place of the GPS.
Documentation External Position Estimation (Vision/Motion based) · PX4 Developer Guide indicates I should publish to /mavros/odometry/odom but there are no subscribers to it. Forums indicate it should be to /mavros/odometry/out
I have a node publishing nav_msgs/Odometry to /mavros/odometry/out from rtabmap’s
rgbd_odometry publishing at ~10Hz. With EKF2_AID_MASK set to 24 I’m getting the following mavlink error.
ERROR [mavlink] Estimator source 0 not supported. Unable to publish pose and velocity
MAV_ESTIMATOR_TYPE indicates that I would expect it to be MAV_ESTIMATOR_TYPE_VIO
I don’t see any documentation on how to do this so help would be appreciated. Thanks!
