I am pretty sure these are m5 not m3.. I pulled an m5 nut out of a bag that I had, and it fit perfectly. The shaft is 3mm, which means its an m5 nut.

Additionally, I am unable to view the pointcloud in RViz 😕
It connects and can show images but not spatial data:

No tf data. Actual error: Fixed Frame [map] does not exist

Maybe there is a misconfiguration of ros on the seeker?

Thank you for the response! I didn't have time to look into this yet. But there is more going on with the system I think. WIFI also doesn't work anymore. And after trying to solve the WIFI, the ADB of the VOXL stopped working. So we for now we are using a different VOXL.

Something else we are running against is the message Reject position control, with working VOXL CAM systems installed on our drones. When we fly everything is super! When we land, after the drone has bumped into things while flying (drone is collision proof) or when heavy wind was pushing it. We cannot take off after landing, it will display Reject position control. Only when the we connect a laptop to the QGC, we can hear that the VOXL reboots and then the Reject position control is gone, and we can go fly again. But if we use QGC via the PX4 Telemetry port, this doesn't happen, and we need to unplug and replug the battery to be able to get the Reject position control message away again.

We don't really know why this happens and how we can solve this. It would of course be great if the VOXL didn't need to reboot in order the drone can fly again in position mode. But it already would be helpful that the VOXL would reboot without having to have WIFI connection with QGC. Please help!

Thanks!!

@Alex-Gardner Definitely interested in open VIO options. Would be awesome being able to use other techniques for picking out key points and even accelerate them on the hardware. Maybe QVIO already does that...

@Kris The LTE add-on board (M0030) has 2 JST ports for client USB devices

@Eric-Katzfey
FYI, I just moved /lib and /usr/lib to /data.
This allowed to have enough space for my work.

Thank you.

@rstoleru There are a few different modem options, you can see in the dropdown on this page: https://www.modalai.com/collections/voxl-add-ons/products/voxl-lte?variant=32449203601459

Most NA folks order the WP 7610 while EU folks order the 7607.

The supported bands vary but you can look up the datasheets from Sierra Wireless for more info.

You can enable / disable certain bands via. AT commands, in NA for example, we legally have to disable band 5 for civilian drone flight.

Yes to both 🙂

@Alex-Gardner Sorry for responding late.

Yeah it looks like seeker have it's own landing gear. Since we lose and break M500's landing gear before... so, I wonder if there any spare landing gear that I can buy, just in case. 😉

Thanks!

@Steve-Turner Great, thanks! As luck would have it skycharge is already on our short list; I'll look at the page and see what I learn

@Vinny Thanks, this helps a lot!

@powerralley -- I don't work for ModalAI but my off the cuff answer is "yes" and it is something I am trying to build something similar.

Modal does provide some mapping/SLAM capabilities that use the Time-of-flight depth sensor to build a 3D map of an indoor space. It does work, but not without some tweaks and work on your part.

@Chad-Sweet Thanks; any comment on what temperatures you or the team have seen trying to stream higher than vga resolution through voxl-streamer? Interested if you are seeing the same using 1080p or the full resolution of the sensor, for example.
