[ VTOL ] Offboard support and MAVROS transition command

[LightningPORTO]

For general questions please use PX4 Discuss or Slack.

Ive been developing an autonomous VTOL based on ROS as a main brain of the hole operation to perform Search and rescue missions. The goal would be to have an autonomous vtol to increase the energy comsumpsion eficiency

Clearly, I need to have " full " offboard support and one topic to have a transition command and maybe even an hybrid configuration where both the multicopter and the fixed wing motors are working.

Thank you for all your time

So VTOL transition using MAVROS is missing?

Can you send generic commands in MAVROS?
For instance, that's possible with MAVSDK:

@LightningPORTO You should be able to do it through ~cmd/command service.

If you are looking for a dedicated plugin on mavros, it should be a feature request towards mavros
