Send actuator_controls_0 from ROS 2 to PX4. But px4_ros_com is deprecated

1

My goal is to send [roll, pitch, yaw, thrust] commands from ROS 2 to PX4. I was following this guide:

However, I quickly realized that the documentation is outdated and that px4_ros_com is now deprecated (reference).

I’m not targeting make px4_sitl_rtps at the moment, and now I’m really confused about the current supported way to send actuator commands (like actuator_controls_0) from ROS 2 to PX4.

Can someone clarify what the modern and recommended approach is for this use case?

This is the new thing that you’re supposed to use: uXRCE-DDS (PX4-ROS 2/DDS Bridge) | PX4 Guide (main)

JulianOes Thank you very much for your reply.
Is actuator_controls_0 deprecated in PX4 v1.14, v1.15? Is there any replacement for actuator_controls_0
If so, is there another recommended way to send [roll, pitch, yaw, thrust] commands, similar to a control panel interface?

I can see my values in the attitude target field in MAVLink Inspector, but the drone doesn’t fly
