    Hi @mikhail-mayers Pictures here will be very useful. How are you powering the VOXL 2? Battery? Wall Adpater? Thanks!

  • Do you have a great idea for our products you would like to see implemented?

    Dear Sir or Madam, We are currently evaluating navigation technologies for UAV and robotic platforms operating in GNSS-denied and contested environments. In particular, we are interested in solutions capable of operating without GPS/GNSS and, where possible, without relying on active radio-frequency communication links. Could you please provide information on your relevant products, including: GNSS-denied navigation capability; GPS-independent positioning; visual-inertial odometry, SLAM, inertial or terrain/map-based navigation capabilities; operation in radio-silent mode; integration options with UAV autopilots such as PX4, ArduPilot or proprietary flight controllers; technical specifications; pricing indication; delivery terms for Europe; export-control or end-user restrictions, if applicable. We would be grateful if you could also indicate the most appropriate contact person or department for further technical and commercial discussion. Kind regards, Andriy Lomakin

  • Are you looking for a 3D model of one of our products?

    @nl_vdi , if you log into developer.modalai.com, you will see the CAD models. the latest model we have is: D0012-4-V3-C28-M36-T7-K0-Starling2-Max-V3-20260317.step [image: 1781036132877-376bf0dd-494a-4bf1-8d92-1b2d91afb83d-image.png]

    Hi @abdullah , Was the PX4 FW version changed at any point? We have seen some performance issues with PX4 1.11 and the position controller. I see in your logs you have v1.11.2 going. Is there anyway to load the ModalAI 1.10 FW as a data point and see if the flight performance changes? https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-firmware/#px4-v110 Thanks!

    Thanks for this detailed response! This would be good information to put in the technical documentation when searching in google for "modalai flight core connections for magnetometer" there wasn't much information on how to setup a magnetometer with the flight core. I was able to setup the the RM3100 by using J13.[1,2] for 3.3 VCC and GND and the J10.[4,5] for the I2C protocol. This allowed me to set SYS_HAS_MAG=1 in PX4 and successfully calibrate the compass

    Hi @modaltb , Thank you for your message. Yes, it was the case and I am doing a benchtop development. After changing to 0, they don't beep anymore. So, I can work in peace. :))

    @Eric-Katzfey Thanks for the explanation, I was not starting the voxl-camera-server before. When I started the voxl-camera-server, I had my camera configuration include the tracking camera which stopped the voxl-camera-server from starting correctly. Once I changed my camera configuration with voxl-configure-cameras to "hires only" I was able to start the camera server and then start the voxl-streamer as well.

    Additional MIPI Camera Selection Possible?

    Hi AJ, It is not easy to integrate new MIPI sensors into the system. If the sensor is supported, see list here, then it is a hardware effort to integrate an interposer. There are no standard MIPI connectors, each platform is fairly different. For a new sensor, it is up to a few months of code and tuning if no reference is available. You would need access unfortunately to Qualcomm's proprietary camera stack to integrate on your own. Is there a specific module you are targeting, maybe we can help point you in the right direction?

    @gauravshukla914 Great, thanks for the response. Glad we could help. Just FYI, that 2A 5V BEC will not properly power a Voxl, nor would any 5V supply though any of the JST or Hirose connectors, although you may see Voxl try to power up. In those conditions, be sure to use our Power Module as the main 5V so it has a successful power up. This is the only connector that was designed to support the current demand Voxl needs during power up: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-flight-datasheet-connectors/#j1013---5v-dc-power-input-i2c3-to-power-cable-apm https://docs.modalai.com/power-module-v3-datasheet/ Be sure to reach out with any additional questions. Thanks! Vinny

    A USB microphone would be the easiest path. We have never tried this though. voxl-streamer is built using g-streamer, so you should be able to mux in audio there with a little custom code

    The tag won't be 0, 0, 0 unless you program it to be. You can set it to any values, and you can have multiple tags in the array (see here https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-vision-px4-apriltag-relocalization/#configuration-file) Yes, you can put a tag at say (100, 100, 0). You can fly to say (97, 100, -3), and the vehicle can see the tag and then 'infer' the tag is at exactly (100, 100, 0), and you can have the drone then fly to (100, 100, -0.5) and then land, for example.
