  Since this model doesn't have a TOF sensor, what is the alternative to using voxl-mapper for autonomous flight?

  @Hector-Gutierrez ,

  the following lines mean that the the system is trying to probe the TOF device by communicating with it via I2C (CCI), but the probe fails.

  [ 218.624174] CAM_ERR: CAM-CCI: cam_cci_read: 1320 wait_for_completion_timeout rc = -110 FIFO buf_lvl: 0x0 [ 220.128139] CAM_ERR: CAM-CCI: cam_cci_flush_queue: 53 wait timeout [ 220.128236] CAM_ERR: CAM-CCI: cam_cci_read_bytes: 1613 failed to read rc:-110 [ 220.128248] CAM_ERR: CAM-SENSOR: cam_cci_i2c_read: 35 rc = -110 [ 220.128262] CAM_WARN: CAM-SENSOR: cam_sensor_match_id: 707 read id: 0x0 expected id 0x2975:

  Assuming the TOF sensor is actually connected (which we established), it is likely that there is a hardware issue somewhere between M0173 and the TOF sensor (inclusive). My recommendation is to submit an RMA request, referencing this post. You should request a new TOF sensor assembly and M0173 board just in case. Specifically,

  qty 1 MSU-M0178-1-01 qty 1 MDK-M0173-1-00 (bare board)

  Once you receive these parts, you should first test the new TOF sensor assembly and if that works fine, please send back the bad TOF and the new M0173. If replacing the new TOF sensor still does not work, you may need to try the new M0173 board, carefully disconnecting and re-connecting the camera cables). In either case, please return the extra TOF and M0173 (one of which may be non-functional).

  If you do have another VOXL2 board, you could first try the new TOF with new M0173 and then the old (currently not working) TOF sensor, just to test that path before swapping M0173 on the Starling 2 drone.

  To fill out RMA request, please go to https://www.modalai.com/rma and fill out the form.

  Sorry for the inconvenience!

  Which Microhard units do you recommend for reliable integration with the VOXL m500 (both for the air unit and the ground unit)?

  Could you provide a complete wiring map or diagram showing how to physically connect the Microhard modem to the VOXL board, including power supply details and which ports to use?

  This will help us avoid trial-and-error and ensure correct setup.

  Do you provide flash files or firmware for the Microhard air and ground units that are configured to work with the m500 out of the box?

  If not, can you supply support through what’s needed to configure both units manually?

  Do you provide documentation that explains how to access and configure the Microhard units via their IP interfaces?
  Specifically, we’re looking for a step-by-step guide (PDF or otherwise) that shows how to:

  Enter the Microhard configuration interface (e.g., IP address access) Set communication parameters and network settings Pair the air and ground units to establish a working link

  @mrawding good afternoon, i see that your topic is quite old, but I am struggling with px4 firmware build and was wondering if you ever managed to successfully build your px4 firmware ? If you have done it recently, I would appreciate a helping hand in this topic: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4539/voxl2-hitl-sim-with-gazebo-in-docker-vtol-frame-support/13?_=1751379111988

  @Cody , please double check the actual and desired roll / pitch / yaw values in the flight review. When the vehicle is level, then roll and pitch should be close to zero and desired roll/pitch will be zero as well if you don't touch RC sticks.

  If the attitude estimate is incorrect (for whatever reason) this can cause the vehicle to not be level during flight / take-off.
