@Chase-Riley Definitely would recommend being on 1.1.2 at this point.

@Darshit-Desai , yes, feel free to modify the code as you need for right now for your own testing. Once i have a chance, i will make the mode selection (long / short) and FPS more flexible.

I hope this unblocked your work and you can move forward.

@oiler251 You should be able to arm with the arm gesture (e.g. moving the left stick to bottom right). But since that isn't working I suggested to configure an arm switch. I do see that the RC2_TRIM parameter is set to 1000.0 which is odd. Normally it is around 1500.00. When you look at the QGC radio configuration screen and you move the sticks around do they look normal? And when sticks are centered are they all showing that they centered on the graphics? You could try setting RC2_TRIM to 1500.0 and see if that allows you to arm with the gesture. Please make sure you have the propellers removed when doing this testing!

@Alex-Kushleyev Also just noticed the vertical artifact again. The artifact is only present in the snapshots and not the raw images saved as jpeg - will definitely need those post processing scripts now.

Here is the raw image:

And here is the snapshot:

On my setup yes that was all I needed to do, but we are still going to do a "full proper tune" on our S500 based frame (Sentinel dev drone) and I will confirm with you that we are getting performance as expected after this and share a video. Our flight test team will be doing that this week, thanks for the patience!!!

@AP123 What was the resolution to this issue? My team is experiencing a similar problem. Were you able to access the microhard web portal through the VOXL 2?

@Viktor-Gal I am troubling localization with QVIO. So I wanted to change vio algorithm to OpenVINS. I flashed my drone to nightly version but openvins still very unstable. Could you give me some guidance for openvins?

Questions

openvins configuration & versions Did you enable the voxl-feature-tracker? camera settings (single or multi, camera model, etc)

My status

voxl-suite: 1.4.1-202502132201 Camera: old-version of tracking camera (640x480) - link voxl-open-vins-server: 0.3.0-202502061726 voxl-feature-tracker: 0.5.2-202412171357

@Alex-Kushleyev - thanks, I submitted the RMA request, will let you know after I have the chance to replace and test the replacement parts.
Thanks, Hector

Hi @VictorG
Our team sent another batch out...
FedEx tracking 884700036314
They claim Monday you should get it ... sorry for all these delays. We tried!!!

I do not have visibility into our product shipment status, but this issue and experience has escalated the need for me to have that visibility, so I will explore that.

We'll try better next time 🙂
Keep me posted.
Thanks!

@vmassague Awesome!

@RichieRich
GPS unit is mounted by default (as it comes with RB5 5G drone), mast is locked in vertical postion.
Turning EKF2_REQ_SACC to 0,75 provided no errors from GPS.
Obstacle avoidance was also disabled, so we managed to fly.

But I'm still a bit confused why the obstacle avoidance gives error, since the drone was placed on the ground (concrete pavement), no obstacles within few meters, while the minimum distance was set to only 1 m. But this is current setup that works:

Many thanks for your help. We'll try to figure this out and provide info in a few days.

Today I tried using another provider for the SIM and it connected to the internet. Not sure where to start debugging this cause it is getting an IP, but I figure it needs internet access to get the time ?

^^^ This is the next best option outside of ADB IMO - nice suggestion @Alex-Kushleyev

@Patrick-Hinchey
hi patrick
did you manage to solve the tune problem ?
we king of facing same problem with our drone
any help will be appreciate

@Philemon-Benner Our qrb5165 based platforms put 64 bit libraries into /usr/lib. On Voxl the 64 bit libraries go into /usr/lib64. So the 64 bit support is specifically for our qrb5165 based platforms (e.g. RB5 Flight).

@ErezI

When it comes to comparing the quadratic curve fits, it is difficult to look at just the coefficients and compare them. If you have multiple tests, you should plot the quadratic plots on the same figure and see how repeatable they are. What may seem like a noticeable variation in the coefficients, could still result in curves that are very similar.

By the way, you should not just average values of a0, a1, and a2 to get a0_average, a1_average, and a2_average, as this will result in wrong curve. If you would like to find an average of all 4 runs, then you can just create a quadratic fit of all the points from the 4 data sets - that is the proper way to do it. However, if after plotting the 4 curves they look very similar, you can use any of the 4 individual fits. The PI (Proportional Integral) controller on the ESC will compensate for minor deviations.

The error you saw with params not being valid was due to the latest version of voxl-esc tools using new parameter structure. So the solution is (which is what you already figured out) to update the firmware and params to latest. This type of change does not happen too often. We will add this to documentation to make this clear.

@Darshit-Desai Can you try the v1.13 PX4 for the Flight Core? https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-v2-firmware/

@Alex-Kushleyev
sorry for the delay,
this sounds about right.
I'm not sure about the 15 fps but we do use raw preview only for our application and no other stream
this is my camera conf file:

cat /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf /** * voxl-camera-server Configuration File * * Each camera has configurations for up to 4 HAL3 streams: * - `preview` stream for raw unprocessed images from CV cameras * - `small_video` 720p (ish) h264/h265 compressed for fpv video streaming * - `large_video` 4k (ish) h264/h265 for onboard video recording to disk * - `snapshot` ISP-processed JPG snapshots that get saved to disk * * on QRB5165 platforms (VOXL2 and VOXL2 mini) you can only have 3 of the 4 enabled * * This file is generated from default values by voxl-configure-cameras. * Do not expect arbitrary resolutions to work, the ISP and video compression * pipelines only support very specific resolutions. * * The default video compression mode is cqp or Constant Quantization Parameter * * * */ { "version": 0.1, "cameras": [{ "type": "ov7251", "name": "stereo", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 0, "camera_id_second": 1, "independent_exposure": false, "fps": 30, "en_rotate": false, "en_rotate_second": false, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 640, "preview_height": 480, "en_raw_preview": true, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 60, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 54, "gain_max": 8000, "exposure_soft_min_us": 5000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.600000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 1 }, { "type": "imx412", "name": "hires2", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 2, "fps": 3, "en_rotate": true, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 4056, "preview_height": 3040, "en_raw_preview": false, "en_small_video": false, "small_video_width": 1024, "small_video_height": 768, "small_venc_mode": "h265", "small_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "small_venc_Qfixed": 30, "small_venc_Qmin": 15, "small_venc_Qmax": 40, "small_venc_nPframes": 9, "small_venc_mbps": 2, "en_large_video": false, "large_video_width": 2048, "large_video_height": 1536, "large_venc_mode": "h265", "large_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "large_venc_Qfixed": 38, "large_venc_Qmin": 15, "large_venc_Qmax": 50, "large_venc_nPframes": 29, "large_venc_mbps": 30, "en_snapshot": false, "en_snapshot_width": 4056, "en_snapshot_height": 3040, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 65, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 20, "gain_max": 250, "exposure_soft_min_us": 3000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.700000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 0.5 }, { "type": "imx412", "name": "hires", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 3, "fps": 3, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 4056, "preview_height": 3040, "en_raw_preview": false, "en_small_video": false, "small_video_width": 1024, "small_video_height": 768, "small_venc_mode": "h265", "small_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "small_venc_Qfixed": 30, "small_venc_Qmin": 15, "small_venc_Qmax": 40, "small_venc_nPframes": 9, "small_venc_mbps": 2, "en_large_video": false, "large_video_width": 4056, "large_video_height": 3040, "large_venc_mode": "h265", "large_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "large_venc_Qfixed": 38, "large_venc_Qmin": 15, "large_venc_Qmax": 50, "large_venc_nPframes": 29, "large_venc_mbps": 30, "en_snapshot": false, "en_snapshot_width": 4056, "en_snapshot_height": 3040, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 65, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 20, "gain_max": 250, "exposure_soft_min_us": 3000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.700000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 0.5 }, { "type": "ov7251", "name": "tracking", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 4, "fps": 30, "en_rotate": false, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 640, "preview_height": 480, "en_raw_preview": true, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 60, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 54, "gain_max": 8000, "exposure_soft_min_us": 5000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.600000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 1 }] }

@M-al-khatib Great, glad to hear it is working now!

@Pooyan Interesting, systemd is ideal way for it to be running
