@Jgaucin I reflashed the system image for an unrelated reason and now the drone autoconnects to QGC with these settings in voxl-mavlink-server.conf file in /etc/modalai.

"x.x.x.x" is the IP of the host PC running QGC.

@M-al-khatib Great, glad to hear it is working now!

@Paul-Carff Thanks for sharing your findings! It's super helpful for future users 🙂

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you

@Paul-Carff OK I guess 4th time is a charm. I completed successfully on the 4th try.

@Paul-Carff WiFi is primarily for local debugging, it will not work well at range. It is heavily dependent on typical wireless interference issues and channel sharing as well as the modem at the ground station.

@esaldiran @Chad-Sweet @Moderator The same issue was occurring for me, I am now running the dfs server on SDK 0.9.5 perfectly. stereo_dfs_s2.png

@M-al-khatib Video quality is going to be largely dependent on the cellular coverage in your area.

For your second question, can you give me more details on the setup you're trying? Are you connecting a standalone modem to your PC?

@stevedan As a side note, I would recommend upgrading to the official SDK 1.0 as opposed to beta4 as there are many bug fixes between the two

@tom that was during our troubleshooting of the hires camera, we set it to a few different settings to see if we could get video. i didnt realize that kicked off voxl-streamer as a service.

Sorry I assumed that it was supposed to be running, looking at earlier screenshots it was not running. Prior to that though, with voxl-streamer disabled and not running, we were still running into issues with rtsp streaming across our network. we would get a single frame and then nothing after.

@inha_baek If QDL still isn't working I would look into an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@Moderator Thank you for your reply. Yes, the hardware setup is fine (is a sentinel drone out of the box)
