@Ed-Sutter Ok, I see in the actual busybox code for udhcpc it uses /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script, and I just verified that this script does execute on VOXL. Still I don't understand why /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten. I don't know a lot about this, does anyone know if it is supposed to overwrite?

@Alex-Gardner Thanks!

@modaltb Yes, we used r14.1a_1.1.2-M0054-14.1a-FLAT-V3.zip as well.

We will make a try with removing all the hardware connection.

@gauravshukla914 I also noticed it. Somehow on the drone's ROS indigo system. roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_map_to_ros.launch won't honor the existing ROS_MASTER_URI, it always source ROS_MASTER_URI etc from my_ros_env.sh

@Eric-Katzfey @tom Digging a bit deeper into this, I see that the voxl-build procedure does patch the qmi_wwan.c file, and after the patch, the VID/PID for EM7565 is in there. On one hand this is good news because it implies that the kernel does have support for the modem I'm trying to use; however, its not-so-good news for me because running with that modem has not reliable on VOXL. 😞
Aside from verifying that I am actually running the same version on my VOXL-Flight-Deck as is being built in voxl-build (see below), I'm at a loss regarding other things to do to debug this. Any thoughts on this?
Following is the output of voxl-version on my board:

There are some defaults setup here, which get set on first run:

Now other settings depend on the airframe etc, but this is for our Sentinel reference drone, as reference:

Hello @Matt-Turi
Thank you for your response.
For some reason, I can not use the latest version voxl-mapper.
I want to know how to generate mesh.ply in old version of voxl-mapper.

I clicked the 「save map」button by voxl-portal and I went to the path /data/voxl_mapper/.
I found the tsdf file and esdf file and both are not empty files. However, I found the mesh.ply file is empty. Do you know why the mesh.ply is empty file ? And how could I solve it ?

Sample Photo (sorry for that I forget to get a screenshot with 3D View)

Voxl Web Portal.png

On VOXL1, we've done this via a Docker image.
The image might be a bit out of date, but the idea remains the same:

https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/voxl-docker-mavsdk-cpp

In flight you should not have any thermal issues. On the bench please use a fan to cool the device

The OS kills processes when the chip gets too hot. Rebooting should bring it all back

The partial packet read error usually occurs when there is a version mismatch between packages (i.e. the size of the packet has been updated and one package has the new size but another doesn't). If you update all of your packages together this issue should go away.

after mkdir /data/docker and /usr/bin/docker daemon -g /data/docker, I saw there is file /data/docker/network/files/local-kv.db. So I just rm /data/network/files/local-kv.db. Now the docker daemon will start.

But anyway I think it is better make change in /etc/systemd/system/docker-daemon.service, from

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -g /data

to

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -g /data/docker

So next time if we want to remove all docker images and clean up the docker, just remove everything under /data/docker.

@modaltb

I figured it out this weekend. It had to do with a swap file in streamer config. I deleted the file and rtsp showed up. However now im trying to get rtsp stream quality to match the quality on voxl portal. Its really grainy. I tried the config files in streamer at 1920X1080 and increased the bitrate by a factor of 5. Will try the camera server today.

Also; is there a way to stream to both vlc and gcs at same time. The feed cuts when i try a second viewer.

Lastly; is there a way to keep the rtsp stream connected to gcs from bootup. It seems like when i close the shell; the rtsp stream to gcs gets lost.

Many thanks again.

Hey @ahmed-mustahid,

This is a version mismatch error. The voxl-ceres-solver (v1.14.0-7) package on your voxl is two versions behind what you built against (v1.14.0-9) since you pulled in the latest from dev. When building our packages from source, make sure you use the same repo that your voxl is sourcing packages from via opkg otherwise issues like this will arise.

@Irfan-Usman I don't work for ModalAI but a few notes that might help you.

https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-tflite-server is a good starting point -- it runs Tensorflow Lite on the VOXL/VOXL2 directly and has some built in models such as MobileNet and YoloV5. https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-tflite-server/-/tree/master/misc_files/usr/bin/dnn

I am doing similar with ModalAI's platform -- you can reach me through the email in my profile.

Hey @ahmed-mustahid,

To clarify, the image in the gitlab repo is a bit outdated and you will no longer see these red and blue lines in voxl-portal, but rather one black line showing the RRT path.

In terms of not receiving a path, I am unable to reproduce this issue naturally on my end. A trajectory will be shown in the UI as long as a solution is found, and the point you selected should also still be viewable within the map. The second image you shared does not show any of this, and the only way I was able to recreate this was by killing voxl-portal before selecting a point to plan to. Make sure you have an active connection to your drone, the network, and voxl-portal before attempting to use the path-planning capabilities of voxl-mapper.

Hi Boyzie, maybe you could run the figure 8 with voxl-tflite-server?

Can you please share the serial number of your drone? We can try to find the calibration files

What light is flashing? Can you share a video?

If the unit needs to be reflashed, you should install the system image and then perform camera calibration

@wilkinsaf No, took out usb0 entry and it still didnt set the correct ip

@Steve-Turner Glad to hear you were able to make substantial progress!
