    @Tamas-Pal-0 In order to prevent px4 from running automatically in the background as a daemon on system startup use systemctl disable voxl-px4 and then sync. Reboot voxl 2 and then try voxl-px4-hitl again.

    @Tamas-Pal-0 You don't use the USB with VOXL 2. Just follow the on screen instructions to do each calibration (compass, accelerometer, etc.)

    Hi Rohit, Accept my apologies for a delayed response here. We currently do not offer a combo card that supports both Mythic and Microhard simultaneously. We do have an architecture that could support Mythic directly, with Microhard as a stand-alone config through our USB Hub. https://www.modalai.com/products/mh-sa However, we have not had enough interest to make this a formal product as of yet. We do have a proof of concept working for Mythic, but it needs some refinement. We would be looking at a few months to complete that design and get it for sale. If this is something that you think can be of interest to you, please let us know using our "contact" form so you can reach us to talk about potential volumes and if we could support this for you. Thanks!

    Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 , Here's what we make for the Sentinel drone, where we have the spektrum bind board in series along with a GPS/mag: https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-2-gps-mag-rc-assembly?variant=40673762869299 If it's just the RC input you need, then using a 12 pin JST GH connector and pins 9/11/12 of this connector: https://beta-docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/#j19-pin-out and you can make a custom cable.

    Ok i resolved the issue. You actually need to run voxl-mavlink-server and voxl-vision-px4 to get Autopilot enabled for Mavsdk.

    Hi, You will need to install the openmp package for voxl which can be found here http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/stable/. The easiest way to do this would be to follow these steps: Edit the /etc/opkg/opkg.conf file and change the last line from src/gz modalai http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/apq8096/stable/binary-arm64/ to src/gz modalai http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/stable/ Run opkg update Run opkg install openmp Redit the /etc/opkg/opkg.conf file to change the last line back to the original i.e. src/gz modalai http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/apq8096/stable/binary-arm64/ Rerun opkg update Let me know if there are any issues.

    Hi @ryan-langlois1 , I don't know of a way to do this at this point that is equivalent to say a hard drive clone... In general, we are doing this using Yocto/Bitbake to generate the original system image, and customize it using recipes etc. In our production line, we flash the bare minimum system image, and then load debian packages needed to get the functionality that we want. We do this via the "Platform Release" (https://developer.modalai.com/). There's a few scripts and a bunch of packages in there, you can see this for reference, e.g. the offline-install.sh is a good example: [image: 1660146627309-1c84cb2c-e2ad-4281-b5f4-cca7c2094c49-image.png]

    @Adrian-Hidalgo Correct, this is on an m500 drone. I intend to fly to GPS waypoints in mission mode (I have done this a few times successfully before noticing the local_position_ned was drifting). I didn't see the vehicle drift while in flight but wanted to double-check before flying again. I am not sure when the local_position_ned began drifting. I have tried resetting qvio - seeing that doing so had resolved local_position_ned issues for someone on another forum. I have the drone on my desk and powered from a 12V 3A wall power supply - I believe that is why the battery status reports zero (when I use a lipo, the battery status looks correct). & yes the vehicle parameters have been loaded.
