    I already had voxl-utils v0.8.2 installed (see earlier post), so I did not update that. I downloaded voxl-tflite-server v0.1.6 from http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dev/ and adb push'ed it to my voxl. I then installed it (opkg install ipk/voxl-tflite-server_0.1.6_202110292056.ipk) and rebooted my voxl. I saw the same behavior as before until I modified /etc/modalai/voxl-tflite-server.conf. Once I set "input_pipe": "/run/mpa/hires/" and restarted the voxl-tflite-server, it began to work! Thanks, @Matt-Turi, for helping me resolve this issue!

    Jonathan, if you have a log(ulog) that exhibits the pause would be great, as it'll show which module is causing the issue. Since you mention local_position, there could be multiple possibilities, especially if you're fusioning GPS and vio data. Based on one's setup, the local position NED calculation may use other sensors and not just vio. To briefly check if vio is the source of the problem, you can look at Odometry topic (directly coupled to voxl vio). If vio has an issue, you'll see the pause, it goto zero or freeze. If not, it's likely a PX4 tuning issue. Nonetheless the ulog will explain what is happening.

    @Chad-Sweet I think we are all commenting on the wrong post here. The issue of this post was solved by connecting to the appropriate usb cable. However, @Roman-Rempel I guess you are having similar problem as in this post https://forum.modalai.com/topic/520/voxl-stuck-in-waiting-after-unbricking/3 ?

    The flashing from the TOF sensor is normal and should not effect VIO. See the documentation troubleshooting VIO, that should help with debugging https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/#troubleshooting-vio

    That is great to hear. Thanks @Alex-Gardner! I will update. I assumed I was on the latest as I had seen I was on factory bundle 1.0.1 and saw on this page: https://docs.modalai.com/downloads/ That the latest factory bundle was 1.0.1. [image: 1635187077739-32eb6578-ebff-4d43-b1ae-d2dc43d70f7e-image.png] Should I be paying attention to the system-image: ModalAI 3.2.0 When checking whether the system needs an update?

    I didn't know Docker had this feature, so thanks for that tip! Docker built on VOXL is running at version 1.9.0 and from some articles I read it looks like multistage build started in 17.06 (https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/prior-releases/) So I don't believe this is supported.

    Thank You for Your responses. Unfortunately Mission Planner doesn't see the device. I also tried via nuttx-shell, but voxl doesn't get any response from stm32, so it's probably a problem with the hardware.

    No problem at all, I'll get our docs updated so it's more clear, definitely not a rookie mistake, we should call it out!

    @blakekrpec As I understand the ECL/EKF library integration so far, you can run several instances that each will fuse different sensor combinations (with individual blending) to accommodate for estimation state errors and the like....
