  Hi support,

  I am a PhD student, and I am very new to robotics. We have 4 starling 2 drones in the lab, and right now, I have two of those drones being prepared for RMA. The drones keeps getting damaged because I don't have the right knowledge about drones. I looked up the technical documentations online, but there are still so many things I don't know. For instance, one of my drone crashed when i toggled the switch to hold mode (and it hasn't done that ever since I got it),it shot straight up very fast. I keep getting height estimate not stable (I don't even know what to do to fix that error). Also, the last working drone also drifts around when you toggle the controller to hold (the middle position). At this point, I cant even fly the drones because I might crash them again. And eventually I will get in trouble with these. Can you help with documentations that will make a beginner get all the necessary knowledge. Right now, I am just working on the drone blindly. I will be grateful if you can help with the situation.

  Thanks,
  Taiwo

  Hello,

  @Moderator Our company is integrating the EM9291 with a multi-carrier sim provider and would like to leverage the eUICC capability if possible. Can you tell us what eSIM profile the SKU MDK-M0090-3-02-01 model supports?

  Thank you.

  Hello,

  I am trying to run a custom YOLOv8 model on the voxl-tflite-server. The model detects ships and the yolov8_labels.txt file only contains one ship class. However, when I run the tflite server and view it on voxl-portal I can see the video feed, but cannot see any bounding box detections even when the target is in the camera frame.
  I tried another variation for the labels file by having the class index and label name like this: 0 ship, but that doesn't work either.
  I also ran voxl-inspect-detections but it doesn't show any detections there.

  When I tested the default yolov5 and yolov8 models on voxl-tflite-server, it displays the bounding boxes and shows the list of detections in voxl-inspect-detections just fine.

  If it helps, I used this command to convert the YOLOv8 model to the tflite format:

  yolo export model=best.pt format=tflite

  I use the quantized 16 bit tflite model named yolov8_best_float16.tflite.

  This is how I set up the config file /etc/modalai/voxl-tflite-server.conf:

  { "skip_n_frames": 0, "model": "/usr/bin/dnn/yolov8_best_float16.tflite", "input_pipe": "/run/mpa/front_small_color/", "delegate": "gpu", "requires_labels": true, "labels": "/usr/bin/dnn/yolov8_labels.txt", "allow_multiple": false, "output_pipe_prefix": "yolov8" }

  Is there anything I missed that is leading to no detections on the voxl-tflite-server?

  I would appreciate any help!

  Greetings,
  I have a fully bricked VOXL2 on a Starling 2 Max. I have gone through the forum and documents processes without success and have concluded that there is way more wrong than a typical unbricking can fix. Give you a little history here... This thing has bricked a couple of times and I was able to easily make a full recovery. I updated the SDK to 1.5.0 after the first bricking and everything seemed to be OK. I was going to test a new GPS module (issue submitted under a different forum topic) and had the WiFi set to AP mode so I could connect wirelessly. I powered everything up on the bench, connected via ADB and ran voxl-inspect-gps to see if the new module was detected, and it was. Thinking everything was GTG, I powered down and took the drone outside to verify that it could see satellites. Powered it up and waited for the SSID to become visible and it never did, even after a couple of power cycles. So, back to the bench with it.
  I attempted to do yet another unbricking only to discover that I couldn't communicate with it via USB. adb shell returns no device found and putting it into fastboot (presumably) and fastboot doesn't detect a device either. The only way I see the device is with lsusb or the web interface shown below.

  I find it interesting that it can be detected but not respond to external commands - the lights are on but nobody is home.

  So, where do I go from here?

  @박지현 Unfortunately, for Ardupilot, our ESCs are only supported with UART interface when using the VOXL 2 / VOXL 2 mini as the flight controller. When using Flight Core v2 that is not supported.
