      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.

      @Chad-Sweet I am also having the same issue. I am not sure what im doing wrong. This is my PC (my_ros_env.sh) This is my VOXL (my_ros_env.sh) This is what I get when I try to show my voxl-env Setting up environment variables for ROS is a little confusing for me. I am using wifi to communicate with VOXL. My VOXL IP is the usual 192.168.8.1 My PC IP is 192.168.8.78 I am stuck here. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

      https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-mapper - Here is the link to the publicly available repo. The voxl_mapper.cc file is under the server/voxl-mapper folder. On the voxl the file voxl_mapper.cc doesn't exist since its all packaged up into a single IPK file. The planner sets the z coordinate of the goal to the current height so you would have to change it in this line https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-mapper/-/blob/master/server/voxl-mapper/voxl_mapper.cc#L1001

      @Alex-Gardner Ok, thanks much for running that. Since it built clean for you, that made it clear that there was something bad about my environment (the whole reason I'm down this rabbit hole!). Anyway, my typical configuration is to ssh into my Linux machine from a W10 box using Cygwin/SSH. Apparently something in the build.sh script doesn't like that; hence my failures. When I build directly through the console of that Linux machine the build completes successfully. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks to all for the responses.

      Seems to be an issue with QGC itself. The latest v4.2.3 I’m running is where it’s failing. If I revert back to the latest 4.1.* (4.1.7) it works.

      @Adrian-Hidalgo Correct, this is on an m500 drone. I intend to fly to GPS waypoints in mission mode (I have done this a few times successfully before noticing the local_position_ned was drifting). I didn't see the vehicle drift while in flight but wanted to double-check before flying again. I am not sure when the local_position_ned began drifting. I have tried resetting qvio - seeing that doing so had resolved local_position_ned issues for someone on another forum. I have the drone on my desk and powered from a 12V 3A wall power supply - I believe that is why the battery status reports zero (when I use a lipo, the battery status looks correct). & yes the vehicle parameters have been loaded.

      We have never used the Flir Vue camera. The only experiments we have done with aux pwms is documented here. Hopefully that helps.

      @I_Dwyer Great! Sounds like that VOXL had been run through the voxl-modem-configure setup and the others had not. One other thing I would check is see if the voxl-modem service is enabled with systemctl status voxl-modem, if it's enabled on that one and disabled on the others you may want to disable it with systemctl disable voxl-modem as you may see some network inconsistencies between VOXLs otherwise.

      Hello @modaltb Thanks for the response. I can see tags on modalai px4-firmware repo for 1.13 so I was asking. By any chance can I test latest tag v1.13 from modalai px4-firmware repo? If no what's the time by which v1.13 would be officially supported on VOXLCAM? The feature I am looking for is Autotune vehicle which isn't supported on V1.11.

      Hi Andrew, This is great info, thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, our current product offerings do not support the "Pixhawk" style APM ADC inputs for current and voltage monitoring. However, I would bet that you could find source code for an Arduino or STM project where these ADC values have been converted to appropriate PX4 I2C digital formats that you can then feed into our products. Keep in mind, the I2C bus needs to be at 5V and you should provide the I2C pullups on your converter module (anything from 10K to 4.7K works well for our I2C translator). Thanks! Vinny

      Treatment of log for a ROVER with an odometer

      Looking at your mavlink log on estimator_visual_odometry_aligned, I can confirm VIO resetting to 0 at the moment your local position resets (picture #1). (pic 1) On a rover typically VIO will reset on 3 situations (everything else working normally as specified): Fast yaw transitions (I do see a large manual input/actuator output around that time--indicated on pic #2). To solve this, have your vehicle turn/tuned slower on yaw motions. auto-exposure not keeping up with rapid lighting conditions (high noon sunlight + tree shadows), the too much vehicle vibration (e.g. treads). From the logs it appears you have a max yaw/roll input into the rover, that indicates scenario #1 above. If you slow down you yaw movements may solve the problem, please try that 1st (there are other, more complicated options). (pic 2) What you can do aside from following the vio troubleshooting guide is to monitor the vio stream on QGC. In order to do that, you need to edit the voxl-streamer service file on VOXL. Basically: login to VOXL edit /etc/systemd/system/voxl-streamer.service on the Exec line that says /usr/bin/voxl-streamer, append to the end of it "-c qvio-overlay". cycle power and QGC video should show the VIO debug video (and not the high resolution stream), showing at the top: vio xyz position and number of features Run thru your test again to recreate the error, when it occurs, keep in mind the number of features, if it drops under 5, you'll see vio reset confirming the reset is due to one of 3 scenarios above. If not, post a video of that as it would be a configuration issue & we'd need to see the video stream on what's happening to debug further. Good luck.

      @Aks Ah okay, I wasn't using the systemd service so that makes sense.

      Hi Tamas, this video is how to get the voxl2 running with HITL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysvpJdXFWaM&ab_channel=AscendEngineering Also - unless you are running the voxl-dev branch, then you will not be able to do a SERIAL connection from the voxl2 to QGC, you can only leverage a UDP connection. If you are running the voxl-dev branch and flashed the board, then you can leverage the voxl-px4-hitl executable and connect to QGC. However, you cannot have gazebo open simultaneously because the serial connection will then be interrupted. If you wish to run HITL while running QGC, then run this using an FTDI cable and then turn on the required services (voxl-vision-px4, voxl-mavlink-server) and then connect to gazebo serially, and QGC via UDP signal. Let me know if this makes sense.
