    @Moderator Hello - sorry if this isn't needed, but I put some settings/configs from one of the drones a couple messages up. If you could recommend other settings to look at to help get telemetry flowing between FCv2 and VOXL, it would be much appreciated. I'm happy to provide other settings/configs, just let me know what is helpful. Thanks, Jay

    Hi @benjamin-linne Generally, our pinouts are listed on our docs pages, not industry forums, unless an actual physical connector standard is used. However, in this case, we did mimic our JSTs to follow the USB pin ordering, so that is correct. However, for general purpose pinouts, always refer to our tech docs: https://docs.modalai.com/5G-Modem-datasheet/ That being said, it seems like a classic intermittent cable issue. What kind of cable are you using?

    @ejohnson01 , i created a document that should help understand the issue that you ran into : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/dev/voxl-esc-tools/doc/regenerative_braking.md and updated the main instructions to warn against using a power supply: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/tree/dev/voxl-esc-tools#hardware-requirements Please take a look and let me know if you find this information easy to understand and if you have any other questions about this documentation - we will add more details.

    @dlee So you shouldn't expect to see a wlan0 as you have no WiFi add-on. But you should expect to see either a usb0 or eth0 network interface from the Microhard modem enumerating. Did you run through the voxl-configure-modem steps for Microhard?

    @Subramanian First, check which version of PX4 you are using. Then configure PX4 for indoor flight, params for 1.11 can be found here Then, follow the documentation https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/

    @tiralonghipol You shouldn't have to start dsp_hitl. If you start px4 with the voxl-px4-hitl command then it will be started automatically.

    @Eric-Katzfey Oh, do you mean I can see the "RTC time" by timedatectl, but it doesn't mean voxl2 has the RTC? I see. Thank you for your answer.

    @hmlow I was flying over the weekend, and saw some inconsistencies as well tbh. The quality of the QVIO was reporting not as high as it was in version 0.9.5 SDK release. I will ask the devs and see what they say. First, I need to compile some logs from voxl-qvio.
