@Viktor-Gal We don't get too many test cycles on OSX so ideally you flash on a linux machine if possible.

Just wanted to share: Using this approach, I was able to integrate CubePilot Here4

@Alex-Kushleyev I will look into replacing the motors, is there anything I can do to prevent motor failures like this? my platform has been having a lot of QVIO failures

@Randy-Mackay Do you know which version of the VOXL SDK is being used? We have recently transitioned over from voxl-qvio-server to voxl-openvins-server for VIO. OpenVINS is open source, so we have been investing our time there. Qvio is closed source and we can't really update the internals.

From James (the guy who set the parameter) feel free to increase it. Starling 2 Max has a very high power to weight ratio so I artificially calmed it down by limiting throttle

@kestrelsystemsbp , Thank for clarifying. Indeed the camera-calibration app does not work well for high resolution camera calibration because the processing is not optimized for the large image size (takes too long to process a frame). The workaround for now is to use down-scaled image for calibration. I will follow up with instructions for the easiest way to do this. Alex

@Moderator Which configuration allows 2D ground mapping, does it have a downward facing camera? Is there a whole kit of ground control station (controller) available (meaning ready to fly/control, including receiver, display, joysticks...)? Resolution in real time and latency of the video streaming?

@pettertei I'd recommend filing an RMA and we can debug the issue: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

Hi @kestrelsystemsbp , the GPS interference is an ongoing investigation and there are several threads about this on the forum. For Starling 2, we found that moving the wifi dongle to a different location (or offsetting the GPS receiver) helps with interference (it is located right under the gps receiver). Also, elevating the gps receiver and shielding, should help. Please also read through the following discussion related to Starling 2 Max : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4226/starling-2-max-no-gps-data/ I am not saying that you need such a big mast, but you may need to experiment a bit to figure out how to improve. I am sorry for the inconvenience and let me know if you need any guidance for checking the signal strength, as described in the other thread. You do not have to use the live streaming plot for checking the individual signal strength -- you could do it directly using the terminal. enable satellite info to be published from px4 (and start voxl-px4) param set GPS_SAT_INFO 1 query satellite info using px4-listener: px4-listener satellite_info TOPIC: satellite_info satellite_info timestamp: 2611309684 (0.868903 seconds ago) count: 13 svid: [5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 23, 24, 27, 32, 131, 133, 138, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] used: [1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] elevation: [11, 1, 30, 11, 47, 64, 68, 59, 13, 15, 27, 19, 33, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] azimuth: [74, 232, 213, 36, 37, 138, 241, 85, 209, 172, 165, 173, 158, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] snr: [0, 0, 26, 17, 32, 14, 29, 30, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] prn: [5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 23, 24, 27, 32, 131, 133, 138, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] In open sky conditions, you should have a number of satellites above 40dB (which is not the case in this example i just pasted above). You can see the examples of the good and bad signal in the Starling 2 MAX thread i mentioned above. Alex

@vjuliani , the tracking camera ( i assume ov7251 or AR0144) is monochrome, so you can not make the image colored. You can install the latest version of the voxl-streamer from dev (nightly builds) http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/ and it should allow you to encode h265. Alex

the fix has been committed to voxl-camera-server dev branch : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/commit/520bad13a573dde500d36cf1008e67102e0b6078 . I tested it for the rotated and non-rotated use case using voxl-streamer. Alex

@dguido2023 Sorry you are struggling with your Ghost Receiver. Can you please help with an explicit issue or question? We don't have a problem configuring these in the factory, so maybe we can get you setup quickly. Have you looked through this guide? https://docs.modalai.com/orqa-ghost/ Which SKU of Starling 2 do you have? Was it preconfigured with a Ghost receiver? What version of SDK are you using? If you installed the receiver yourself, how is it connected to the VOXL 2? Are there specific configuration steps you tried that failed?
