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

    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

    Hello @Alex-Kushleyev @Eric-Katzfey I am looking to control the servo via PX4. Essentially, it will be a command either from the RC or GCS to open / close the servo motor. But, if that is infeasible, I can make it work via an API on the CPU / Linux on VOXL 2 to be controlled via SSH. Regards, Ashwin

    RESOLVED for those who come after: it was indeed an ftdi cable issue. Keep in mind that MCBL-00091-1 USB to Serial UART Cable is not a proper cable (i tried two freshly out of the box, and none worked). Currently using this cable: https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/Moyina-Converter-Terminated-BeagleBone-Minnowboard/dp/B06ZYPLFNB

    @Moderator oh I see, so to reduce overheating would it be recommended to use the default settings instead of limiting my process to cpu 4 to 7?

    So something that I was seeing while testing this was having a bit of instability with Open VINS flying and altitude flying (Not Using VFC). I was seeing that voxl-open-vins-server stated that the IMU temperature was too high and kept resetting. After letting the VOXL2 cool down for a day I was able to have the Drone Fly in VFC mode but not sure how it flew compared to Position mode using VIO.

    @Andrew-Martin You can check your camera calibration files with voxl-check-calibration If you see any missing I can likely locate them and send them over to you

    @Jetson-Nano VOXL 2 does not have PWM out. You would need our IO expander board M0065 to bridge between UART and PWM. https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl2-io?variant=40610514206771

    @zauberflote1 @Cliff-Wong @James-Strawson guys, can you help me with the error mentioned. now i have an another error where, if I arm the drone, the vio is drifting, and i can see the values increasing without any movement. what would cause this kind of errors, earlier the drone was flying fine, then it started drifting, even when just armed.

    @Muqing-Cao You can get the VIO data from the ROS1 and ROS2 Topic /ov_overlay , /ov, or /qvio depending on which VIO you are using. Both have the same type interfaces available so either should work. Yes, you will be able to get run the commands on a host computer and as long as they are on the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID, for ROS2 this should be automatic.

    @Eric-Katzfey Thanks for that. I had to start the qvio server and mavlink servers. Also, had to connect the flight controller to qgroundcontrol using the makeshift cable. The RC connection also works fine. Wondering what are the functionalities since the product is reaching its EOL and no new upgrades would be coming in terms of autonomous applications and PX4 integration. Thanks.

    @george-kollamkulam Here's voxl-logger https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-logger/ which you can use to record data. if you need to access the data real-time, that's a good source code starting point for how to capture the data into your application

    @nicksheldon Hadron 640R support is in beta. You can request a custom invoice for the adapter at https://modalai.com/contact We have no experience with Herelink. The modems we have support for MVX, Doodle Labs, Cellular and Wifi You cannot use HD Zero to send video from VOXL 2 The software is all open, so if you need to send custom gimbal commands you may need to update the software VIO cameras need to be fixed mounted with the VOXL 2 and cannot be on a gimbal
