@stevedan It is better to use this wrapper project to build px4: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-px4. Use the instructions in the readme for that project instead of the documentation you were looking at. Sorry for the confusion!

@Sam-Kiley All of the VOXL suite is open source, voxl-modem lives here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-modem/-/tree/dev The quectel related source is from https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-modem/-/tree/dev/src/quectel-CM But yes I believe that’s where I get the updated version from. I’ve also reached out to Quectel to make sure I get the very latest.

Hi @umlr , Here's some info for VOXL 2 which shares most of the design. https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-linux-user-guide/#gpios For the RB5, qualcomm had some sample code here: https://github.com/quic/sample-apps-for-Qualcomm-Robotics-RB5-platform/tree/master/GPIO-samples For example, we are using it here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-bind/-/blob/master/src/voxl-bind.c#L58 GPIO 46 going to J10 pin 6. GPIOs 82, 83 and 84 control the onboard LED which you can use and get visual feedback.

@Gregory-A-Welch, sounds like there was a significant crash. We can send you replacements but I would be worried about the damage that might have been sustained to the Flight-Deck. Would you mind sending a pic of the state of the drone? We can build you a replacement drone, basically an RMA. I would recommend going this route, since there are a lot of little nuances to the build and would be the quickest to get the drone back in the air. We can also repair the Flight-Deck

Hi Adrian Hidalgo , The status is like the video below. Do you have any suggestions? thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urtfFJ4y4kw&feature=youtu.be

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for

I encountered this problem a while ago and its just a matter of a usb device on your virtual machine [image: 1664634438999-7e018bc6-8636-428f-b624-327316eb00a7-image.png] You can also download adb for windows to verify that the drone is detected by the computer. If it's not detected by your computer at all (on host OS), then it won't be detected by your VM.

I'm not sure if you still have this problem, but if you know ROS, you can stream the cameras on your computer by configuring the drone to have the ROS master on your computer. First follow the steps at this link to setup ROS on RB5. https://docs.modalai.com/setup-ros-on-voxl-2/ Then you can set the ROS master to be on your computer by opening ~/.bashrc on the RB5 drone, and entering these lines in the file: export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://{PC_IP_ADDRESS}:11311/ export ROS_HOSTNAME={RB5_DRONE_IP} PC_IP_ADDRESS can be obtained from ipconfig on your computer. RB5_DRONE_IP is the one you use to ssh into it. Then on the drone: source ~/.bashrc On your computer execute: roscore Rviz On the drone execute: roslaunch voxl_mpa_to_ros voxl_mpa_to_ros.launch You will then be able to view the camera display topics from voxl_mpa_to_ros on your computer. You can stream them on Rviz, and you can create ROS nodes to subscribe to these topics for whatever computer vision application you develop. Hope this helps.

@Kevin We've recently released VOXL SDK support for RB5-Flight, I'd highly recommend upgrading your drone to this newer system image and VOXL SDK as you will have much more software support. Checkout the video we have here: https://docs.modalai.com/Qualcomm-Flight-RB5-system-image/#voxl-sdk-for-rb5-flight

@Steve-Turner Thanks. After run the voxl-vision-px4 -d 0, I doing the following: and the voxl-vision-px4 run normal, But I can't get the ODOMETRY mavlink telemetry in my QGroundControl, How can I fix this issue? rb5:/etc/modalai$ voxl-configure-extrinsics Starting Wizard which preset extrinsics file would you like to use? 1) leave_alone 5) starling_v1_voxl_flight 2) m500_flight_deck 6) starling_v2_voxl2 3) seeker_v1_voxlcam 7) sentinel_v1 4) rb5_flight_v1 8) custom #? 4 wiping old extrinsics config file copying /usr/share/modalai/extrinsic_configs/rb5_flight_v1.conf to /etc/modalai/extrinsics.conf loading and updating file with voxl-inspect-extrinsics -q done configuring extrinsics

Hi @modaltb , Excuse me how to use RB5 on VOXL Web Portal, are there any teaching materials? Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqlSKRP8prc https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-portal/

@Jeremy-Schmidt Could you please check the email I sent PX4 parameters? Thank you.

We cannot access the download, it requires authentication. Is there a fix for this issue?
