      @Aniruddha
      On QGC, do the Parameters ever fully load? The reason I am asking is because if the connection to the GCS is not fast enough or strong enough for QGC to fully download the parameters then the other tabs like sensors and actuators in QGC will not appear. Which is why you are having an issue doing the level horizon from QGC. I know that QGC is seeing the video feed meaning you are connected, is the Green bar going across the full length of the fly view bar on QGC?

      Hi @Myles-Levine ,

      I just want to double check something to make sure there is no confusion.

      The lepton sensor is an IR (thermal) camera. it does not measure range. The lepton sensor plugs into the large square socket that is mounted to the M0157 / M0187 board (they are very similar). The infrared TOF sensor is a smaller (rectangular) sensor, which is marked as U1 on M0187 : https://docs.modalai.com/M0187/ .

      Have you checked whether the Lepton sensor is working using voxl-portal, which would allow you to look at the IR image coming from the sensor?

      I have uploaded the latest ar0144 drivers with fsin versions for all camera slots here : https://storage.googleapis.com/modalai_public/temp/ar0144/ar0144_drivers_20260402.zip

      There are two additional files (inside the zip), which you should copy to /usr/lib/camera to make sure you have the latest updates:

      com.qti.sensor.ar0144.so -- contains functions for exposure / gain control (we recently made some improvements to make gain control smoother) com.qti.tuned.default.bin -- fixed gain scaling so that min gain (1.0x analog gain) is equal to 100 in the HAL3 gain units, not 54 (and the max gain will be 29.6 = 29600 for AR0144) -- you can also double check this using voxl-camera-server -l and update the min/max gain settings in your voxl-camera-server.conf to make sure you are using the full range.

      My colleague will follow up with a diagram for locations of the DNI resistors that need to be installed to enable sync signal for camera slots 1 and 3 (0402 0-ohm resistor)

      @Alex-Kushleyev Hi Alex,

      Thank you for the clarification.

      That makes sense regarding the accel parsing—agreed that a 4 LSB discrepancy on a 20-bit value is negligible compared to in-flight noise, but it’s good to see it will be corrected.

      Appreciate you taking the time to investigate and confirm.

      Thanks for your response. We did not consider to add a spacer, but it is a good idea.

      Yes, I would like to receive the lens holder part number, so let me know when you found it.

      Q

      @Alex-Kushleyev, thank you for your answer.
      I confirm your assumption, when I set the decimator to 1, the fps is not divided.
      Here are the tests I did on SDK 1.5.0 and SDK 1.6.3 :

      test with SDK 1.5.0 ; fps = 10 | standy_enabled = false or true | decimator = 5 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 2.90 | 0 | 1540 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 3.5 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 7170622 | 240 | 180 | 7.1 | -0.0 0.0 0.0 0 fps = 60 | standy_enabled = false or true | decimator = 5 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 1.30 | 0 | 2155 | 9.3 | 59.9 | 20.7 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 10666991 | 240 | 180 | 3.1 | 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 fps = 60 | standy_enabled = false or true | decimator = 5 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 1.18 | 0 | 869 | 9.4 | 59.9 | 20.7 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 10753813 | 240 | 180 | 3.1 | 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 test with SDK 1.6.3 fps = 10 | standy_enabled = true or false | decimator = 1 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 3.02 | 0 | 260 | 29.7 | 10.0 | 3.5 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 2052194 | 240 | 180 | 7.1 | -0.0 0.0 0.0 0 fps = 60 | standy_enabled = true or false | decimator = 1 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 1.18 | 0 | 7532 | 9.3 | 59.9 | 20.7 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 2190721 | 240 | 180 | 3.1 | 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 fps = 60 | standy_enabled = true or false | decimator = 10 | Pipe Name | bytes | wide | hgt |exp(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)| fps | mbps | format | tof_depth | 43200 | 180 | 240 | 1.20 | 0 | 83 | 10.1 | 6.0 | 2.1 | RAW8 timestamp(ms)| w | h | Zmax | center point (m) (conf) 2469720 | 240 | 180 | 3.1 | 0.0 0.0 0.0 0

      As you can see, for SDK 1.5.0, fhe fps is NEVER divided, regardless of the value of standby_enabled.
      For SDK 1.6.3, fhe fps is ALWAYS divided, regardless of the value of standby_enabled.
      So, my problem is solved but I think you have a bug on the management of the paramater 'standby_enabled'.
      I fastly investigate the code of voxl-camera-server and I can't find where you are using 'standby_enabled'. Here is the search result in all the project :

      # Query: standby_en # ContextLines: 2 6 results - 2 files include/common_defs.h: 370 modal_exposure_msv_config_t ae_msv_info; ///< ModalAI AE data (MSV) 371 372: int standby_enabled; ///< Standby enabled for lidar 373 int decimator; ///< Decimator to use for standby 374 src/config_file.cpp: 129 printf(" gain_min : %d\n", cams[i].ae_msv_info.gain_min); 130 printf(" gain_max : %d\n", cams[i].ae_msv_info.gain_max); 131: printf(" standby_enabled: %d\n", cams[i].standby_enabled); 132 printf(" decimator: %d\n", cams[i].decimator); 133 printf(" independent_exposure:%d\n", cams[i].ind_exp); 642 // standby settings for tof only 643 if(is_tof_sensor(cam->type)) { 644: json_fetch_bool_with_default(item, "standby_enabled", (int*)&cam->standby_enabled, cam->standby_enabled); 645 json_fetch_int_with_default (item, "decimator", &cam->decimator, cam->decimator); 646 }

      Maybe you should add a condition in your function PerCameraMgr::ProcessTOFPreviewFrame():

      void PerCameraMgr::ProcessTOFPreviewFrame(mpa_ion_buf_t* buffer_info, camera_image_metadata_t meta) { tofFrameCounter++; if(grab_cpu_pitmode_active() && tofFrameCounter % (int)configInfo.decimator != 0){ return; } auto noStridePlaneSize = static_cast<size_t>(pre_width*pre_height*1.5); auto realWidth = static_cast<uint32_t>(pre_width*1.5); uint8_t* noStridePlane; if (buffer_info->stride != realWidth) { noStridePlane = new uint8_t[noStridePlaneSize]; removePlaneStride(buffer_info->stride, realWidth, buffer_info->height, (uint8_t*) buffer_info->vaddress, noStridePlane); } else { noStridePlane = static_cast<uint8_t*>(buffer_info->vaddress); } uint16_t srcPixel16[pre_width * pre_height] = {0}; // NOTE we don't actually puvblish tis particular metadata to the pipe // TOF data is published separately in a very different way to cameras meta.format = IMAGE_FORMAT_RAW8; meta.size_bytes = pre_width * pre_height; meta.stride = pre_width; Mipi12ToRaw16(meta.size_bytes, noStridePlane, srcPixel16); tof_interface->ProcessRAW16(srcPixel16, meta.timestamp_ns); if (buffer_info->stride != realWidth) { delete[] noStridePlane; } M_VERBOSE("Sent tof data to royale for processing\n"); return; }

      @huy ,

      The latest qrb5165 emulator docker image is v 1.5. We have been updating our downloads section, so it was inadvertently removed.

      Right now, this docker image is available in the Downloads / Miscellaneous section and is called 865-rootfs_m0054_qrb5165-emulator-v1.5.tar. You can download it from there.

      However, the name and location of this docker image is slightly incorrect. It will be renamed to qrb5165-emulator-v1.5.tar and moved to the Docker Images section soon. So if you cant find it under Miscellaneous section, please look at the Docker Images section.
