    this usually means one of the following: camera configuration does not match what is installed. the configuration needs to match what is installed, not what you want to use a connector is not properly seated a connector is backwards

  • VOXL2 - rebooting external flight controller over MAVLink

    Hmm, it looks like none of those options are available to our configuration, so we will have to stick with USB through the 4G carrier. I've found that the Pixhawk is rebooting now (not sure if something changed, or if I'm going crazy) but voxl-mavlink-server fails, and continues to fail if I systemctl restart voxl-mavlink-server so I have to reboot the voxl2 with every Pixhawk reboot. Not that big of a deal. Has the bug been fixed where sudo reboot takes a couple of minutes to actually reboot the VOXL2? Each time I want to reboot the Pixhawk it's about a 5 minute process

    @Moderator J8 VBUS Output follows USB3 specs for voltage range (+5V +/- 10%) and a current limit set-point of 1.1A (just above USB 3 specs of 900mA for extra margin in OTG mode).

    Sorry for the delay. To achieve 12 PWM you would need a custom solution. You could likely use an Arduino Teensy or similar

    I’m having the exact same problem, but I can’t connect to an Ethernet. Is there any other option for calibration? I’ve tried for 8 hours straight with no luck……

    I've figured out why. My original MPC_LAND_SPEED and MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_DN were 0.6 and 0.5 respectively. Thanks to the following chunk of code from MulticopterLandDetector.cpp, descend_vel_sp will never be true. if (_flag_control_climb_rate_enabled) { vehicle_local_position_setpoint_s vehicle_local_position_setpoint; if (_vehicle_local_position_setpoint_sub.update(&vehicle_local_position_setpoint)) { // setpoints can briefly be NAN to signal resets, TODO: fix in multicopter position controller const bool descend_vel_sp = PX4_ISFINITE(vehicle_local_position_setpoint.vz) && (vehicle_local_position_setpoint.vz >= land_speed_threshold); Had to increase MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_DN and that solved my problem

    Did you review the PX4 documentation? It looks like it has the command set here

    @sspiller The WiFi and MicroHard radios don't have any specific configuration needs for video streaming. They are just network interfaces. The issue will be with available bandwidth. If you want to stream a high resolution stream at 10Mbps and your radio can only support 5Mbps then you will lose a lot of packets and your video stream will not look very good.

    @Chad-Sweet That worked! After I did the reinstall, it would not connect. I closed and reopened QGC, switched the usb cable, and then went into the auto-connect section of the general settings and disabled the NMEA GPS device drop-down. Thank you Chad!

    IMU's can be found here. Through QGC, the offsets can be adjusted: here You'll have to configure the extrinsic files as well to match the rotation of the board /etc/modalai/extrinsics.conf Hope that helps!

    Hi @jrestifo , Super late on this response. In general yes a kernel rebuild is needed. There's some gotchas so if you are proceeding down this path let us know.

    Is that version of GPS module supported in the version of PX4 you are using? Is it wired properly to your flight controller as well?
