I am kinda newb in MAVSDK and PX4 and every help will be appreciated. I'd like to set a GPS location to a drone that doesn't use GPS. mavlink has a command number 48 (SET_GPS_GLOBAL_ORIGIN). How can I use it (if this is the right command), to send a position to the drone? thanks

SET_GPS_GLOBAL_ORIGIN is not (yet) supported by MAVSDK, so that would need to be contributed. I personally don't know how it works exactly. I would say we first need to understand how it is supposed to be used, and then it could be contributed to MAVSDK :slightly_smiling_face:.

I don't think what you're describing is supported by PX4? Or is it?

If you want to use an external source as position input for PX4 you could check the mocap plugin. I think it is only for local (in meter) coordinates and not global ones though.

Hi everyone, these two PR's are related to this issue so I thought I'd post them here. Once/if these are merged upstream I'll help out with work on the MAVSDK side where I can: https://github.com/PX4/PX4-ECL/pull/962 https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/16544
