      Yes, Hadron is working when plugged into J6 of VOXL2 Mini with default kernel.

      You just need to have the following sensormodule files in /usr/lib/camera/:

      com.qti.sensormodule.boson_0.bin com.qti.sensormodule.ov64b40_1.bin

      And instead of gpio6, you need to use gpio30 to enable the CCI mux, so that communication with the EO camera is enabled:

      voxl-gpio -m 30 out voxl-gpio -w 30 1

      I will update the Hadron documentation..

      @DronAlan
      Hi there, the configuration & extrinsics files look fine (just switch offboard mode from figure_eight back to trajectory mode. Since you confirmed figure 8 and position mode are working fine and reflect true ground truth in voxl portal, next is to dive a bit deep into the processes:

      Just to confirm: are you using a loaded saved map? Orientation can be different in a loaded maps based on how it was saved. Going forward in debugging this I would create the map while flying, then test plan-to-point to ensure it is working properly.

      Before take off, if you ssh onto the drone and run voxl-vision-hub --debug_offboard and rerun the mapping test (point 1m in front of the drone hovering), and you don't need to map the entire room, just get the general area. In the ssh session, monitor the output from voxl-vision-hub. Take off and fly forward and backward in position mode, with some slight yaw motions to generate a decent map in voxl portal (recall we're generating a map in flight then plan to fly to a point, not using a old-saved map). Then switch into trajectory mode. In the ssh session, you should get a Received trajectory has duration message printed. Goto voxl-portal and plan-a-point. Then execute go-to-point. In the ssh session you should get a Received insert command. printed out on the terminal. And it will show the drone's forward commands, i..e set points, to your planned point. I expect the commanding: XYZ values to increase in the positive X direction. Please post the output of the ssh session here.

      If the drone moves in the backwards direction as you've been seeing but the commanding XYZs are moving forward, we have found our problem (PX4 issue such that I'll need your params file). If the drone moves forward with commanding XYZs are moving forward then it's how your older maps are being saved and we can go from there.

      @Eric-Katzfey Thanks for the explanation, I was not starting the voxl-camera-server before.

      When I started the voxl-camera-server, I had my camera configuration include the tracking camera which stopped the voxl-camera-server from starting correctly.

      Once I changed my camera configuration with voxl-configure-cameras to "hires only" I was able to start the camera server and then start the voxl-streamer as well.

      WOW! Thanks @Lynn-Koudsi for the help, when we setup the forum this is the kind of interaction we were hoping for, just awesome!!

      Sorry for the setup and 'wonkyness' right now, we've been somewhat caught with getting pre-release software out there without all the setup/docs lined up.... so we're doing a little catchup it seems.

      @Liping there until we have our docs updated, if this is working, I'd say this is a good approach!

      Thank you both for the details, we'll relay this through the team.

      @manzur Interesting, thank you for the information! Perhaps I was wrong about the default Network ID, I will take a note of that.

      @xav04 I am trying to do the same thing as you, by using the J9 port on the 5G Modem to attach an RTK GPS.
      Were you able to do so?

      Thanks. I got it working and it appears to be calibrated. It also appears to be responding as intended with MAVROS when I publish to /mavros/setpoint_velocity/cmd_vel_unstamped

      I tested with props off and powered via battery. I published 0,0,1,0 corresponding with vertical speed of 1 m/s up and the motors sped up. I then published 0,0,-1,0 and the motors slowed down as expected.

      We will make a try with removing all the hardware connection.

      @Vinny said in GPS Not OK with VOXL2 PX4:

      Hi @kp-ng
      Eric has you covered with all SW.
      A small tip: From what I see in your picture, please understand that if you have WiFi and GPS antennas next to that very large power supply and no space between them, your radio link performance will be terrible.
      There is a good chance you will not pick up any satellites, and your WiFi link will disconnect often.
      For optimal performance, try to mimic the spatial separation that you would expect to see on one of our drone platforms.
      Thanks!

      ^Can you provide an example what the ideal routing for wifi antennae would be on the sentinel drone platform (specifically with the microhard modem carrier add-on)? I came across this post while trying to troubleshoot my own issues and realized that the way I have the antennae routed coming out the back of the flight deck puts one of them right next to the gps module because of how the modem is oriented.

      @tom
      When running our algorithm or doing voxl-streaming while connected to a microhard, the drone is experiencing a random reboot. This issue is difficult to see when connected via wifi (station mode). When the drone reboots, it is disconnected from qgc and reconnected to qgc about 1 minute later. I think they had the same problem, can you tell me how they solved it?

      @camharrisvayu Ok, we should be able to close this issue -- I flashed 1.0.0 and uploaded params for the sentinel model and that made it so the RC inputs could control the drone -- not sure which parameter made the difference, but I may investigate and report back if I find out.

      ?

      @sansoy

      Oh great, if you already have a function that works with libmodal-pipe then you shouldn't have much trouble writing one for the cameras. Take a look at these lines for the initial code to register the callback function to the camera pipe, this sets up _camera_helper_cb to receive images on callback. For an example of parsing that data, maybe check out these lines in a different module. There's a bit of extra info here but this shows the gist of casting the raw char* bytes into something like an OpenCV image. Definitely modify as needed to fit your use case!

      Keep me posted, happy to help however I can!

      @Darshit-Desai , yes i believe you are showing the TOF and Hires camera local frames correctly.

      As for the vehicle, the convention we normally use is FRD, but since you mentioned that you are assuming FLU in your case, that also looks correct.

      @utari_ais Since you're using a voxl1 px4 is running on the flight core not on the voxl itself like voxl2. Therefore there is no voxl-px4 service on voxl1
