    @Moderator Unfortunately, there is not a way to configure ROS1 to use steady_clock instead of system_clock. In ROS2, it seems that this is configurable, but ModalAI does not support ROS2.

    @esaldiran @Chad-Sweet @Moderator The same issue was occurring for me, I am now running the dfs server on SDK 0.9.5 perfectly. [image: 1693414627297-stereo_dfs_s2.png]

    @tom Apologies for the delayed response, but I took your suggestion and had better luck on 0.9.5. Thanks!

    @Moderator We did two flight tests inside our office in a luminous environment. Temperature seems to be lower while flying (around 60°C), and voxl-camera-server didn't stop. Yet, we could not do extensive tests because in both cases the px4 changed the flight mode from Position to Stabilize for visual failures. We attach a screenshot from QGC.!!

    @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.

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

    @tom thanks! It works. I had used the same solution but a wrong partition number was the culprit.

    @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. { "primary_static_gcs_ip": "192.168.8.10", "secondary_static_gcs_ip": "x.x.x.x", "onboard_port_to_autopilot": 14556, "onboard_port_from_autopilot": 14557, "gcs_port_to_autopilot": 14558, "gcs_port_from_autopilot": 14559, "en_external_uart_ap": false, "autopilot_uart_bus": 1, "autopilot_uart_baudrate": 921600, "en_external_ap_timesync": 1, "en_external_ap_heartbeat": 1, "udp_mtu": 512, "gcs_timeout_s": 4.5 }
