It’s looking for a proper GPS fix still. Have you power cycled the flight controller after you set the EK3 parameters mentioned in the Wiki?

If the vehicle appearing on the ground station map? If not then the issue could be that the “Set Origin Here” hasn’t worked for some reason.

My next guess is that the rangefinder isn’t happy.

Probably best to provide an onboard log. To produce a log while the vehicle is disarmed you might need to set LOG_DISARMED = 1.

Notice the message GPS:No GPS. You need to sort that out. If you are indoors then the GPS may not be getting enough signal to get a position. Or if you are powered by USB the GPS may not be powered up and needs battery to be working (depends on your flight controller)

But I’m not using the GPS with pixhawk 2.4.8 flight controller and when i armed it gives an error of AHRS waiting for home…! or with GPS it shows green light and not armed and error of GPS not fix…

You’ll need to give the AHRS some kind of position information.

Look at Non-GPS Navigation — Copter documentation

You need to be outside with a clear view of the sky. Especially if the GPS module hasn’t had a full lock recently it will be a “cold” start and that just takes time.
