VOXL ESC FPV 4-in-1 with Built-in Power Module (MDK-M0138) Issues -
VOXL ESC FPV 4-in-1 with Built-in Power Module (MDK-M0138) IssuesA drone immediately flipping over is usually caused by some combination of incorrect motor mapping, incorrect motor spin direction, and / or improper prop direction.

Battery Data CollectionYes, you can monitor the battery data. What did you want to do with it?

Battery Data CollectionYes, you can create custom code. Have you looked at our documentation? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-sdk/

voxl-ardupilot crashing on mission planner reconnectI was finally able to get to a Windows PC and try this. I still cannot recreate the issue. I can restart voxl-ardupilot with systemctl restart or via Mission Planner reboot pixhawk and in both cases I can disconnect and then reconnect Mission Planner to ardupilot. I am connected on VOXL2 to my local WiFi network via station mode. I have disabled all other services other than, essentially, voxl-ardupilot and voxl-mavlink-server. I am using recent VOXL2 SDK, recent ArduPilot build, and Mission Planner 1.3.83

Using VOXL IO Expander with VOXL 2 Mini?Yes, you can connect to one of the UARTs on J19. However, there are only 3 UARTs so you'll have to choose which one to use. The PWM outputs on the IO expander are mainly intended to be used when you have PWM ESCs instead of a ModalAI UART based ESC. In that case you would connect to the ESC UART. If you want to use the IO expander in addition to a ModalAI UART based ESC then you will have to choose between the RC UART or the GNSS UART.

Re-configure VOXL2 1.4 for GHOST Receiver/Transmitter?First of all I would update the SDK to something newer. That's probably not going to solve this issue but it makes it easier for us to support you when you are on the current SDK. To help troubleshoot can you show the output of
px4-qshell ghst_rc status. Run that status command a few times. -
Radar Compatibility and connections clarification.Hi @jetson-nano I'm not sure I am following.
The ADB Debug port is still available on VOXL 2 when you use an M0062 Debug Board with USB Hub.
Our plug-in boards that connect to J3 and J5 do not consume the primary USB.
See here for guidance: https://docs.modalai.com/expansion-design-guide/#usb-expansion-over-j3--j5 -
Debugging steps for: "Pre-arm Check Failure: Compass Sensor 0 Missing"Can you plug the cable from the working drone into the other one? That could tell you if it's the cable.

Radar Compatibility and connections clarification.Hi @jetson-nano
Yes, the M0062 debug board provides a USB Hub for these types of use cases.However, be aware that the VBUS support on that platform is only 1A and may not cover all Doodle TX power modes.
Please see this note: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00085
