@Moderator Great, thank you!

@thomas Thank you the update procedure worked and the results I posted in this thread https://forum.modalai.com/post/14049

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you very much for the solution, I fix it and it works. : )

Yes, the Qualcomm Flight RB5 User Guide will send you to the 5G modem user guide if you are using the latest software.

Thanks @Alex-Kushleyev, will do, much appreciated

@smilon said in Custom px4-firmware build on StarlingV2: I ran into an issue while installing the newly built voxl-px4 which states it depends on libfc-sensor(>=1.0.5) and I only have (1.0.4) on my system. @Eric-Katzfey I saw you authored some commits on libfc-sensor-api, do you have any clue how I can update? 1 Reply Last reply about 3 hours ago Reply @smilon I would recommend using ros2 wrapper around mavsdk instead of mavros, that is what we have done in the past as mavros and ros1 are both depricated and not supported anymore. Anyways, goodluck with the project!

@awoods , Here is a sample log from one of our recent tests using a Starling platform. You can review the PX4 log here : https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=3a4c53fd-db88-4d54-8f2e-5f22e159bfc6 The accelerometer noise looks comparable to yours, perhaps a bit less. The main thing is that motor outputs are pretty clean, very minor oscillations. You can collect a similar log and compare using px4 flight review. Also look at gyro noise which more directly affects motor commands. [image: 1705697622723-starling_imu_noise_sample.png]

@Mihir-Bala Technically it should work, we have not done any pre-integration as you've mentioned

@NUMETRIX , in order to check and upgrade your ESC firmware, you can install the latest VOXL2 SDK, which comes with voxl-esc tools. scan: voxl-esc scan upgrade firmware: voxl-esc upgrade_firmware for reference: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/master/scripts/voxl-esc?ref_type=heads (the voxl-esc tools are installed to /usr/share/modalai/voxl-esc-tools/) by the SDK. You can call the python scripts directly from there as well (as opposed to using voxl-esc wrapper). But make sure to stop PX4 first. Alex

@skl1g14 in case anyone looking for URDF for m500 drone, i have it here https://github.com/UoSM-CIRG/CAD-Files/tree/master/drone_dev_kit/catkin_ws/src/display_model/description/m500_urdf/urdf

@juancangaritan Cool, we can debug said ESC issue if it pops up again

@juancangaritan Thanks for trying that out! I'll update that docs page

@smilon Yeah that's worth a try. You can also pull the calibration files off before performing a factory reset by locating them in /data/modalai and from host running adb pull /data/modalai/* . and then pushing them back on after

@Anubhav No, the Qualcomm Flight RB5 Reference drone uses the Thundercomm QRB5165 SOM. The Sentinel has the same QRB5165 using VOXL 2 and is built with the same sensor configurations as the Qualcomm Flight RB5. VOXL 2 has the same computing power as the Thundercomm RB5 SOM, but a much broader support for different image sensors.

@Eric-Katzfey There is a new dev version of voxl-px4 located here: http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.61-202312011240_arm64.deb. Can you wget that and then load it on top of SDK 1.1.1? You can then modify the /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf file to specify RC=M0065_SBUS to use M0065 with SBUS. Once you restart you should have it working with M0065 SBUS. It has received very minimal testing at this point but you are welcome to give it a shot.

@Anubhav and @DarkKnightCH: Was there any movement on this? We have 7 drones with FCv2 (all of our other m500 drones have different FC's) that were also sent to us with the wrong radios. We were able to reconfigure the PX4 for the desired radios (and confirm RC connection to QGC), but running voxl-mavlink-server manually shows a UART error on the console. We are RMA'ing the 7 units with the bad mavlink back to ModalAI for a fix, but it would be great to save the shipping if a fix was found here.

@tpavlic Thank you, glad it helped!
