    Typically hires is the only pipe with encoding enabled by default, but in this case tracking is being used. Can you make sure encoding is enabled for the tracking camera in voxl-camera-server.conf ? Or, can you just see if hires_enc is working in QGC first? That's what we ship by default on a fresh install hires_enc to QGC should by enabled by default.

    @Kris On seeker PX4 runs on flight core, a separate board, not on voxl. So no, you shouldn't see voxl-px4 running on voxl. And voxl-px4-imu-server is a service specific to RB5 platforms so it isn't applicable to seeker.

    @Moderator I had to explicitly change the system variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH every time to /opt/ros/melodic only to build the nodes. Building a new voxl package might break things and I don't want to do that.

    Hi Eric, The stereo camera pair intrinsics and extrinsics are saved to /data/modalai/opencv_stereo_intrinsics.yaml and /data/modalai/opencv_stereo_extrinsics.yaml We then use the following opencv calls to generate the rectification maps for each left and right image cv::Mat R1, P1, R2, P2; cv::Mat map11, map12, map21, map22; cv::Mat Q; // Output 4×4 disparity-to-depth mapping matrix, to be used later double alpha = -1; // default scaling, similar to our "zoom" parameter cv::stereoRectify(M1, D1, M2, D2, img_size, R, T, R1, R2, P1, P2, Q, cv::CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY, alpha, img_size); // make sure this uses CV_32_FC2 map format so we can read it and convert to our own // MCV undistortion map format, map12 and 22 are empty/unused!! cv::initUndistortRectifyMap(M1, D1, R1, P1, img_size, CV_32FC2, map11, map12); cv::initUndistortRectifyMap(M2, D2, R2, P2, img_size, CV_32FC2, map21, map22); Those maps then get converted into a format that can be used by the Qualcomm hardware acceleration blocks for image dewarping, but the fundamental matrices and undistortion coefficients stay the same. I think the above lines is what you are after. You are correct that the disparity map is centered about the left camera, I believe this is typical in OpenCV land too. Note that we do not do a precise calibration between the Stereo and Hires Cameras from the factory, depending on how precise you need to alignment to be you may need to use a tool like Kalibr to do that.

    @czarsimon Interesting, I've never seen it get stuck during flashing like that. Can you try forcing it into fastboot with the button (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-voxl2-mini-system-image/#force-voxl-2-into-fastboot) and then using ./install.sh -w

    @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
