Voxl2 flight deck -attitude estimator not running ( works fine before )

Eric Katzfey

@bensusana I'm guessing that the lack of barometer data is what is causing the trouble here so let's see if we can figure out what is going on with that. Can you log into the VOXL2 (adb or ssh) and type the command px4-listener sensor_baro? You should see barometer data and if you keep entering that command you should see that data changing.

Hi Eric
I’ve contacted through and shell
When entering px4-listener sensor_baro
I’m getting : “ never published “

@Eric-Katzfey
ok tried it again , I'm getting this :

@bensusana In that screenshot you have a few mispellings in the command,

you're running px4 listner sensor_baro, you should be running px4-listener sensor_baro

bensusana

@tom my bad ,
So as I mentioned in the last comment, I’m getting “never published “ after checking baro status with the correct command.

@bensusana Okay, that's not a good sign. Can you do the command px4-qshell icp10100 start -I -b 5 , wait a couple of seconds, and then try the px4-listener sensor_baro command again? If the barometer driver is not able to communicate with the barometer then that indicates some sort of hardware failure.

@Eric-Katzfey

I'm not getting anything...
hardware problem ?

@bensusana could you try flashing the Voxl and then loading the latest PX4 helper files?

UPDATE:
we have open the flightdeck and surprisingly discovered that the barometer sensor was stuck in his cover and ripped off
, look like it was glued to the barometer cover , that explain all.

you should check to see if something in this cover is too tight or glued .

we have 4 flightdeck's and now we afraid to move the voxl board from it
since we never took the board out of the deck or crashed it i cant see another reason .

@bensusana That'll cause the error for sure.
I can assure you that the barometer cap and foam are not glued to the barometer. There would have had to been a significant force applied to have it ripped off. A crash could inflict the above, but not regular disassembly.
