@taiwohazeez No problem, it would also be helpful to know what SDK version is loaded on your drone. You can check this with voxl-version

@justin-sentinel By default the stinger won't have an IP connection out of the box, it would take a bit of tweaking to get it enabled. Can you send a link to the page you're referencing to make sure I'm understanding the context?

@Ligma We designed the VRX to be compatible with any off the shelf HDMI input display.

We have used HDZERO goggles with the VRX so you should have no issues there

@tom @teddy-zaremba can you assist please? This is pretty urgent, I need to get this fixed. Also, the landing gears got broken, and I can't seem to be able to order new parts from the official website, is there a way I can go about it?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks

Hi @taiwohazeez,

That is the cable that powers the VOXL. I'm suggesting you leave that plugged in and disconnect everything else. I see you still have the VOXL 2 WiFi Add-on board connected. Disconnect that as well all the cameras on the bottom of the VOXL, ESC, and GPS.

Please have the VOXL powered off while you disconnect everything.

Let me know how it goes,
Ted

@Zachary-Lowell-0 Hi, let me explain what i meant by hovering mode. There is a 3-way toggle switch beside the kill switch in the transmitter (toggling down switches to position mode, toggling up switches to the autonomous mode, while toggling to the middle maintains the drone flight positioning. I have another drone that when the button is switched to the middle, it maintains the drone position (thats what i meant by hover mode). My other starling 2 drones maintains their positions when the switch is toggled to the middle position, but this particular starling 2 drone doesnt.

@taiwohazeez Can you post a video of it trying to fly?

Hello @taiwohazeez,

it seems your calibration pattern is significantly warped. It needs to be as straight as possible.

I personally like to perform calibration by displaying a pattern on an LCD screen (flat), which more or less guarantees it being straight. For a monocular calibration, the size of the box does not make any difference (no scale is recovered from the calibration). If you use that approach, then you actually have to move the camera as opposed to moving the pattern, unless you want to move the screen, which actually would be possible on a laptop. Watch out for reflections from screen and also sometimes setting manual exposure also helps (i won't go into detail how to do that here).

You could take your calibration sheet and glue it to a rigid flat surface, but even that can be tricky, since paper glue can cause wrinkles on paper, but those should not be as bad as the deformation seen in your screen shot.

@taiwohazeez ,

Please try the following after a fresh reboot:

voxl-inspect-cam tracking_down tracking_front tracking_rear tof_ir hires_small_color

Running voxl-inspect-cam -a can break the camera server because there are too many output streams to process. This used to be a good option in the past for a quick test, but with 5 cameras and ~25 streams this is becoming too heavy. In normal use cases, only one stream is used from each camera.

If you are just getting started, I would suggest updating your drone to at least SDK 1.5 or even 1.6, however you should still be able to get camera streams displayed in voxl-portal or using the limited voxl-inspect-cam command.

If you still cannot get this to work, please do the following to stop the background service for voxl-camera-server and run in in the foreground and past the output:

#stop the background service (it will restart after reboot) systemctl stop voxl-camera-server #run camera server in foreground voxl-camera-server
