  @antenna-eng What hardware do you have connected to the VOXL 2 board? Cameras etc.

  @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for the detailed breakdown! I am fairly certain OP is from another team on the same project and I believe we are describing the same event. He has custody of the drone/logs so I will let him follow up with you

  Hello,

  I've been trying to run Mavros on my VOXL-flight from inside a docker container. I've been following these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ and finally got the code to work. However, I got an error on QGC saying "no offboard signal". Does anyone know what the issue might be?

  Also, my goal is to make the drone hover at a certain height (for example 3ft) without it going up or down. is there a way to achieve that without using ROS? I followed these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-qvio-server-0_9/ and got VIO working. However, when I move the drone sideways, it does not stay exactly at 3ft. My plan is to take pictures of a pillar at different heights. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  @smilon ,

  I believe what is happening is that your IMX214 is still not being detected and camera server is trying to skip the undetected camera.

  In your config, you specified that imx214 is camera id 3, but the camera server prints the following, which means it detected ov7251 as camera id 3:

  setting ov7251 BLC register for cam id 3

  if you run voxl-camera-server -l, does camera server detect imx214 at the very top of the output?

  If something seems confusing, you can try physically disconnecting all cameras except for your IMX214 and modify the voxl-camera-server.conf to only use one camera (imx214, which should be camera id 0, the only camera). That would be a good start to confirm the single hires camera is working.

  Hi @Cody , is it the case that the commanded RPM is relatively high, but motor just does not spin up? Did you confirm that from the logs?

  We have a fork of px4-flight-review, which you can run on your linux pc locally https://github.com/modalai/px4-flight-review . There is a Quickstart Guide that should get you up and running in a few steps (Docker is required) - https://github.com/modalai/px4-flight-review?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart-guide

  This has support for our custom data logs, including commanded and actual motor RPMs, which is useful for debugging. Can you send a plot of RPMs from the flight review app?

  You should have a plot like this, maybe zoomed in on areas of interest.
