    We normally do a 'proper' voxl-camera-server update to add meta data (e.g. this commit) but I've used the imx214 with updated preview_width etc for a different sensor and it seemed to run OK for me for testing. Let me see about IMX377, seems like if we sell it we SHOULD support it already!!! But need to see what's up.

    Hi @modaltb Thanks for sharing that information. It happened today and changing the power cable fixed it.

    It is probably worth upgrading the software to the latest release. The version you have is really old. I guess I can't say for sure that it will fix the problem, but it's likely to match the docs better for getting going https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-system-image/

    I assume you are referring to VOXL 2? If so, there is no PWM output on VOXL 2 as the Snapdragon processor onboard does not have PWM output. If you already have another flight controller you can use VOXL 2 as the companion computer to that flight controller https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/

    Hi @Vinny Thank you for prompt response. I understand the current state of development of TDK Mezzanine on VOXL2. Noted. No further information needed. Thank you

    On my setup yes that was all I needed to do, but we are still going to do a "full proper tune" on our S500 based frame (Sentinel dev drone) and I will confirm with you that we are getting performance as expected after this and share a video. Our flight test team will be doing that this week, thanks for the patience!!!

    @Alex-Kushleyev I am making a quadcopter with voxl2 and the modalai esc. I am trying to calibrate the esc. I am able to run the script but having this issue while scanning the esc with ftdi cable although I am able to run the motors with voxl2 J18 port. /voxl-esc/tools$ python voxl-esc-scan.py INFO: Device and baud rate are not provided, attempting to autodetect.. Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 250000 Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 2000000 Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 921600 Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 57600 Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 115200 Scanning for ESC firmware: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 230400 Scanning for ESC bootloader: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 38400 Scanning for ESC bootloader: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 230400 Scanning for ESC bootloader: /dev/ttyUSB0, baud: 921600 ERROR: No ESC(s) detected, exiting. Is there any way to calibrate esc using voxl2?

    Hi @mlarsen , If you're familiar with QGroundControl, similar to the pixhawks, you can use the Analyze > Logs feature to grab them (over an IP network not USB...) [image: 1667487221073-f8c31789-b1a1-4aa9-a498-d789ade3d86c-image.png] We are also saving this on disk here on VOXL2, eg: voxl2:/$ cd /data/px4/log/ voxl2:/data/px4/log$ ls sess001 sess003 sess005 sess007 sess009 sess011 sess013 sess015 sess002 sess004 sess006 sess008 sess010 sess012 sess014 voxl2:/data/px4/log$ ls sess001 log001.ulg log002.ulg log003.ulg Using the USB connection over adb, you can pull from device to your host system, eg: adb pull /data/px4/log/sess001/log001.ulg .

    Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 , You can calibrate outside of the system fully using something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOplk52R4no I've not done this myself.... but it's the original way to do this from what I understand

    Hi @Mark-Lee , Chad is correct in that we have not tried it, but my idea is that if you wanted to access the Linux shell on the modem card, you would need a modem development platform from Quectel. Here is an example I found online (please do your research to ensure this will work for you, but I do see they mention serial port access): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803611119964.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US In our architectures, we do have a mechanism to talk to the serial port over software using one of the QUPs, but there has been no need to do so, and would be a costly SW expense to develop it. If you are willing to void your warranty (not recommended), I can show you which resistors have it and you could try to solder on to them, but you are better off with the Dev Kit IMHO.
