No GPs lock for vehicle

[M. al-khatib]

@modaltb said in No GPs lock for vehicle:

Hi @M-al-khatib , unless I move my vehicle outside and it has a view of the sky does the GPS get satellites. Are you trying to do the GPS test in an environment that isn't 'shielded' like indoors?

Yes, I conducted an outdoor test with specific parameters, focusing on essential factors. The test revealed that there was no GPS signal for the vehicle, and the information indicated that the GPS functionality was disabled. Throughout the test, the GPS count consistently remained at zero, with no HDOP readings available.

[Eric Katzfey]

@M-al-khatib Can you log into the vehicle with either adb or ssh and provide the output of the command journalctl -b -u voxl-px4?

[M. al-khatib]

@Eric-Katzfey
this is the output

[Eric Katzfey]

@M-al-khatib Perhaps this journalctl --no-pager -b -u voxl-px4 > /tmp/test.txt and then attach the test.txt file so that all of the output is there?

I can second the same issue. Getting the following for the GPS message check command -

voxl2:~$ px4-listener sensor_gps
never published

Recently received a brand new sentinel drone and wanted to try out indoor flight however QGroundControl prevents arming due to no GPS lock error. Quite similar to what's mentioned by the OP. Hoping to get a response soon. Thanks!

Please let me know if there's anything else you'd need.

@Eric-Katzfey
my test.txt file same as the Samer Jaradat file.

@M-al-khatib If you are comfortable editing text files in Linux then you can try the same instructions that I provided him on that thread: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2317/sentinel-px4-no-gps-lock-and-firmware-problem/21

"I can't find the command 'qshell gps start -d 7 -b 115200' or 'qshell gps start' in the file '/etc/modalai/voxl-px4.config'."

[M. al-khatib]

@Eric-Katzfey
I have now arrived at this stage, yet my GPS count remains at zero.

[M. al-khatib]

@M-al-khatib
While presently utilizing the exact same parameter, the QGS occasionally presents a GPS error, whereas at other instances, it indicates normal GPS functionality.

@M-al-khatib What release of software are you using? Can you find the file /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.config?

empty file

@M-al-khatib What drone do you have? A Sentinel? If so, can you please update your software to SDK 1.0.0?

[M. al-khatib]

@Eric-Katzfey
Okay, I'm done, and the drone got GPS this is video link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XfcMhyPKbJYDFnPwljM3zM7MbZWcx4op/view?usp=sharing
However, I mistakenly used the power adapter instead of the battery when I unplugged it to switch to flight on battery mode, so there was no GPS signal.

my sdk now is 1.0.0
and my firmware Version 1.14.0dev

[Eric Katzfey]

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