    • RE: Voxl2 + M0041 RevB Battery Monitor on Arducopter

      @Dan-Jennings Honestly, I don't think updating the SDK version will help this issue. But, we highly encourage everyone to be on the latest SDK, regardless, since that's where you'll get the latest fixes and features. And it's how you'll get the best support from us. but in this case I don't think a newer SDK will get you the battery_status. It's probably a hardware issue or a parameter issue. You swapped boards and that didn't help. What about the cable? Those 4 wire cables are notoriously fragile. Can you swap it out and see if that helps? The other item is parameters. You saw that other post about setting BATT_MONITOR to 21 and BATT_I2C_BUS to 1. If you don't see the BATT_I2C_BUS parameter then it must mean that BATT_MONITOR hasn't been set to 21. Make sure it is set to 21, then reboot, then you should see the BATT_I2C_BUS parameter. Then set it to 1, reboot, then you should see correct battery_status.

      @Alan_S The voxl-vtx repository is currently private, the source code for both voxl-vtx and voxl-vrx are contained within.

    • RE: Issue with USB Camera Disconnecting on VOXL2

      OK @Daehan-Won
      Yeah, I'd try to run one first on it's own before the hub to rule that out.
      Keep us posted.
      Thanks!

    • RE: Question about sonar sensor(distance sensor) in voxl2

      @Daehan-Won You would need to add the support to PX4 since you are using the DSP I2C pins and only PX4 can access those while it is running. There is some useful developer documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-px4-dev-build-guide/. Also visit the PX4 documentation as well. At a high level you'll need to fork our repo, make a branch off of voxl-dev, add the driver to the default.px4board file for voxl2-slpi, build the image, and add a start command into the startup script voxl-px4-start

    • RE: Issue with USB Camera Disconnecting on VOXL2

      Hi @Daehan-Won
      So, on the M0062 debug board, you do not need to connect an extra hub. You already have 3 USB ports...
      Look at J10, J11, and J12..
      https://docs.modalai.com/m0062-datasheet/#connector-callouts
      Yes they are different connectors, but is a much easier system for you. We sell both 4 and 10-pin USB cables, and you can easily get Type-A breakouts from Adafruit or Digikey.
      Can you try to remove the extra hub and see if you can get your system to work that way?

      We cannot validate or debug third party hardware/modules ... we would only be guessing and do not want to lead you down the wrong path. However, I suspect in this case, that Hub is indeed your issue. It is most likely only supporting 500mA modes, and if neither of those two devices are enumerating perfectly, it may only allow 100mA per port before tripping a reset. Depends on how it is configured and designed.
      You can use USB TreeView to read all the descriptors of that hub board, and look for the self vs bus powered reporting, and the downstream current allocations. I suspect this is not set for your system.
      If you use our connectors, despite in various formats, you should be much better off.

      Lastly, just to clarify, are your USB connections unique? Your drawing looks like they are the same USBD+/D- wires connecting to one port of the Hub. 2d802362-4330-4853-bb36-9836fb6516cd-image.png

    • RE: mating cycle query

      Hi @Jetson-Nano
      The connectors between VOXL 2 and M0173 are DF40's. They are rated for 30 cycles:
      04a17618-1ea9-4b38-8552-804d68ecda65-image.png
      The uCoax image sensor cables are also from Hirose, and are much more fragile. They are rated for 20 cycles, but to be honest, I break them after 3-5 cycles personally if I am not using a tool. With the use of the proper tool we specify here, you should get to 10-20 cycles.
      https://docs.modalai.com/micro-coax-user-guide/
      8cd3250a-ffcc-497a-ae4f-d2cdb9f2d346-image.png

      FCv2 uses a bunch of JST GH connectors. On the flip side, I've never broken one of those! 🙂
      JST sadly does not specify the cycle count. So, any number we provide would be a guess. We use it due to DroneCode compliance intentions. They are pretty robust and never experienced any issues.

      Hope this helps.

      @spiff You'll likely need to reach out to Sierra Wireless directly for debug help.
