I have not flown the RB5 and I am still new to using PX4, but on a similar platform I recommend checking parameters in QGC and look for EKF2_Aid_Mask. You can toggle to:
5fcf07a0-841e-4751-a38a-affff3b935f5-image.png

Which should disable GPS inputs and allow you to fly indoors. Just remember to set it back to use GPS when you want to fly outdoors. As Modal mentions, take appropriate safety precautions whens flying indoors even with VIO enabled.

Thanks Eric!

Hi Gaurav, please refer to QGroundControl's documentation on the battery monitoring setup here

Here's another forum post talking about low-light conditions.

TLDR is you need enough features for QVIO to pick points out for VIO. So you either need a diffuse light source that can illuminate features or some other low-light sensor that you would need to integrate with QVIO.

Hi @mohammednaveed ,

The revB (which is basically what we've been shipping for 2 years) is rated at 5V with 6A output, datasheet.

The snapdragon based designs have some decent inrush current requirements on bootup, hence this need.

We have an offboard trajectory interface to voxl-vision-px4. I believe that will enable what you are trying to achieve.

Code is here

The figure-8 code might be helpful as well, but that would require you to fork voxl-vision-px4 ([code](link url))

@Christopher-Baze we recently got a charging station delivered to us from Sky-charge. We are also working towards autocharging for our voxl-flight deck enabled Drone. Were you able to get your drone to auto-charge?

Hi @rohitpillai ,

Sorry I had this queued to send but didn't send it!

If it's VOXL-Flight, you have PWM outputs you might be able to use if you have a quad setup.

See this as a possible option, where you can setup an RC channel (via the controller) to trigger the channel and possibly activate the buzzer (assuming it has a PWM interface).

Excellent, thank you very much for the fast reply.

there is nothing special about the ROS implementation on VOXL. You might look at ROS networking documentation to debug

@SHofmeester There is some introductory material about libmodal_pipe in our documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-sdk/

Today I tried using another provider for the SIM and it connected to the internet. Not sure where to start debugging this cause it is getting an IP, but I figure it needs internet access to get the time ?

@kasarrowtec Did you get any further with this issue. I have the same problem that Docker can not create an endpoint in the iptables.

Hi @frafrat ,

Not yet but we are working on it currently. I don't have a hard date for a release, but the plan so far is to get support onto the QRB5165 platform within the next month or two.

Thanks!
Travis
