    @Vinny Solder pads look okay from what I can see. In addition to the two batteries we tested, we also used the included wall power.

    @Darshit-Desai No, the Sentinel propellers would not likely fit. You should use the recommended propellers or risk serious damage.

    @sansoy said in voxl-inspect-qvio error: IMU_MISSING: dt(ms) | T_imu_wrt_vio (m) |Roll Pitch Yaw (deg)|features|quality| state| error_codes | @sansoy what is the output of voxl-inspect-imu? It looks like qvio is not receiving the data from the imu server. Did you configure imu-server? Or is this all out the box for the m500?

    Hi @Kashish-Garg - you can either just create your own ~/.bashrc and put what you need in there, or you can reflash the system which I would recommend doing. Zach

    @tom we are in a situation where we have 2 identical boards. one board has a working flight control board and the other has a working VOXL. is there any way we can use them together for the time being?

    @modaltb Thanks, despite the delay, for the response! I only have one last question in this regard: is it possible to rotate the stereo ov7251 by 90 degrees or currently it is only possible to flip them by 180? This info would help me a lot. Thanks!

    @Moderator I see, thank you for the clarification - I think I was confused because I saw the HW info returned Flight Core V2. I will try to run everything from /data/ , but I was initially worried about path errors because the other ROS packages and Python dependencies appeared to be installed in root. Will update here.

    @tom Yeah definitely not ideal, actually setting up an orange pie on linux right now to handle the flashing in the future, haha

    @hmlow , I know your post was a while ago.. But I wanted to add some detail. Going to 15Hz is going to reduce the maximum exposure (duration of emitted IR signal) to about 1/3 of the maximum which would be for 5Hz. This is due to the fact that maximum power output remains the same and increasing FPS means less power is emitted during each frame. Longer exposure / IR pulse means the sensor can achieve higher signal to noise ratio and pick up returns at longer distances. So that would make sense that you may see less phantom obstacles at 15hz compared to 5hz, if these obstacles are indeed coming from multi-path returns (weaker / shorter IR signal has less chance of being picked up by the sensor)

    @Darshit-Desai what do you have set for ekf2_aid_mask. The fact that you cannot go into position mode means something is barring you from moving into position mode, aka a specific parameter. If your QVIO quality is good, then a parameter in your PX4 isntance is off.

    @Moderator For the LTE Modem on the Sentinel will the Modem cover European bands for operation? (normally there is US and European Variant). Do you have any LEPTON Thermal sensor ready for the Sentinel without disabling or modify the drone? Will a USB connection to the drone simply be viewed as an additional camera (FLIR C5) in the OS or will we have to solder the connections on the flight controller?

    @kerct But I would strongly suggest moving to SDK 1.1.2. It's very hard for us to support customers using older SDK versions.

    @Isaac-Stephan-Remy please pull down the most recent iteration of https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-mpa-to-ros2/-/tree/dev and build within the qrb5165 docker image and deploy the deb. This will allow you to convert UVC 422/UYVY images from the MPA to ros2. In the meantime I am working on the fix for ros1 as well. Zach
