    @VictorT Were you able to successfully calibrate after focusing/cleaning? The M0015-1 sensors should have no issues calibrating after they are properly focused as long as there are no scratches in the lens. Are they mounted in a VOXL Flight Deck?

    @DarkKnightCH I believe Cliff answered that but in case it was missed: "z is fusing baro+vision and why you get z and no xy"

    @tom Thanks I am aware of that web GUI. This issue persists regardless of standard Micro Hard setup. But I sort of have a solution and have delivered to the client now. Also knowing about the master slave auto setup timing that works more reliably. I'm essentially off this project. I am interested to know about it because I may integrate VOXLs into future products. I will consider opening another topic when I have a moment. Thanks for the suggestion and input!

    @James-Strawson ah I get it now. There was nothing wrong at all, it was all about reference frames. I should be looking at voxl-inspect-pose -l instead. Thanks!

    Hi Caleb, All new multirotor vehicles need to go through PID tuning before being safe for flight Our systems mostly run PX4, so it is definitely recommended to follow the px4 PID tuning guide https://docs.px4.io/v1.12/en/config_mc/pid_tuning_guide_multicopter.html

    @parbat101 Since it is included in that image, one (bad) option is to modify the script and then re-build the Docker image and it will pull in the modified script. The better solution that I would recommend is create a new script i.e my-script.py and then mount it inside the Docker image on run time using something like this: docker run -it --rm --privileged --net=host -v $(pwd)/my-script.py:/path/to/my-script.py gcr.io/modalai-public/voxl-mavsdk-python:v1.1 /bin/bash where you mount the script from your host os inside of the Docker container. You can read more about docker + mounting here: https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/ This would allow you to modify the script on your host os, then run the above command to pull it into the docker container on run-time. Keep in mind if you modify the script inside of the docker container and then exit the container, the edits will be lost. So make sure you edit the script outside of the container and then re-run the above command to pull in the updated script. Another note, /path/to/my-script.py will denote the path at which you would like to have the script live inside of the docker container, so you will need to modify that to your liking.

    Yes, it is a good idea to cool the Voxl-Flight with some sort of cooling device. We have not performed comprehensive environmental testing, but for Voxl 0-55C Ambient, Guaranteed by Test. Enclosures or other structures which raise the ambient temperature will impact this range. The performance will be better with cooler temps. Hope this helps
