@taiwohazeez HI There,

What SDK version are you using. Anything over version 1.5.3, we recommend using the openvins VIO implementation rather than Qvio.

Typically a different XYZ value from actual indicates VIO reset during flight. What you want to try 1st is a bench test to confirm vio is set up correctly. Essentially power up the drone on a level surface, then connect to it and bring up voxl-portal (http://<ip of the drone>) and goto the VIO page. The page will show the drone in local space (0,0,0 xyz) if you pick up the drone and move it in a 3D plus pattern the vio page in portal should reflect that. If it does not, then we a configuration issue.

@joshuagaus Sorry, but SBUS is not supported. That option will be hidden in future SDK releases to prevent confusion.

@voxltester said in Microdds not working with Microhard modem:

Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?

There might be a dependency in the service file - I would recommend taking a look at the file in /etc/systemd/system/voxl-microdds-agent.service and see if there are any dependencies on having WLAN devices plugged in - I am under the impression there is not that dependency, but there is a conflict on which interface you want the dds to start on - so ideally you can add in which interface you wish to leverage into the service file.

@svempati I was able to use an open source training set and then leverage the docs to make my own custom yolov8 model capable of running on the voxl2 - do you want to provide to me the actual dataset and I can try creating the model and training it on a TPU?

@Myles-Levine You should see an actuators tab. Do you have our standard VOXL SDK loaded on the drone?

@jameskuesel Thanks! Merged

@jameskuesel Feel free to make the change and submit a PR

@Eric-Katzfey And this is also handy: https://www.sparkfun.com/breadboard-to-jst-ghr-04v-cable-4-pin-x-1-25mm-pitch.html

@Gad-Levin We generally use HITL. There is some documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/. This is the repo with the most up to date HITL driver for VOXL: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/tree/voxl-fpv-dev. There is some more info in the HITL driver README: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/voxl-fpv-dev/boards/modalai/voxl2-slpi/src/drivers/dsp_hitl/README.md. I'm sure there's some outdated / incomplete information in those documents but it should give you a pretty good starting spot. This is the cable I use: https://www.sparkfun.com/usb-to-ttl-serial-cable.html

@maddercat The Zorro Blue has a 1W 915MHz ELRS 3.5 radio, configurable with typical ELRS parameters

The hardware is a COTS Radiomaster Zorro where we replace all of the electronics to ModalAI electronics for NDAA-compliance.

It is a stop-gap so we can offer a standard FPV-style R/C controller until we can offer something more fully developed FPV R/C controller
