Mavros: All mavros topics are empty

Created on 25 Jul 2018  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: mavlink/mavros

Issue details

I'm running mavros on my computer and connecting to the pixhawk using telemetry, all ports are set correctly, however all the mavros topics seem to be empty, the only one that had any data being published was /mavros/state, how can I solve this?

MAVROS version and platform

Mavros: ?0.18.4?
ROS: Kinetic
Ubuntu: 16.04

Autopilot type and version

[ ] ArduPilot
[ x ] PX4

Version: 2.4.8

Check wiring, looks like USB-UART Tx -> FCU Rx broken.
Also check stream rates. Try rosrun mavros mavsys rate --all 10.

I'm using telemetry, there's no wiring.
Running rosrun mavros mavsys rate --all 10 didn't solved the problem :(
