Help with Voxl2 PID Tune problem
-
Please let us test it on our end to see if we can reproduce the issue. I will ask our team to set up a quick test as soon as possible.

@bensusana can you please diagram your desired system architecture? Why do you need the IO board?

@Moderator hi
first of all we use it to connect RC receiver and we also need the other pwm pins for servo operate .we tried to connect the crossfire nano directly to j19 and change the mode to mavlink (just to see how the drone perform ),
we succeed to do that only with voxl-px4 -r command that we do every restart (im guessing there is an easy way to do it if you can guide us through )
but that causes a lot of mavlink massages and status tabs like battery status and a bunch of other tabs in qgc mavlink inspector to disappear .if there is some guidelines that i missed to work properly with crossfire receiver without IO board for now ,
that will give us a lot of space for keeping developing . -

journalctl -b -u voxl-px4 --no-pageron voxl2? -

hi eric , i uploaded the log here (too many characters )

if you guys can support us through email it will be much faster .
thanks. -
@Eric-Katzfey I don't see anything obviously wrong in either the flight log or the startup log. The log of the input_rc topic doesn't show any obvious dropouts or other problems but it is not logged at full rate so it's possible that it didn't capture something bad.

@Eric-Katzfey @Alex-Kushleyev @Chad-Sweet
hi guys,
we about to build 4 more drones with same setup ( 8 total) and we have to be sure about the hardware, how can you help us to work this through?
can one of the dev team can give us support through emails? its hard to support this with one massage a day ( we have time zone problem
) -

Do you have developers you work with who can help debug PX4?
We are working on a new firmware for that VOXL 2 IO board that we hope to help resolve some of your issues. We are a few weeks away though from the release.
For the direct CSRF connection, are you using the latest SDK or is it still the older version?

@Moderator Sdk 0.9.5
Crossfire nano rx connected to j19 ,using mavlink mode.
For unknown reasons in this mode I can control the drone but a lot of mavlink massages disappear, no battery status system status almost half of the tabs in mavlink inspector on qgc are gone .What I’m doing wrong?
Can I use csrf raw on that Sdk?or should I move to v1.0?should I try use spectrum receiver?

@bensusana Using the TBS Crossfire receiver in mavlink mode shouldn't have any affect on the mavlink messages you get at QGC. The TBS Crossfire driver runs on the DSP and communicates to the receiver using UART. It uses the Mavlink protocol over that UART. The Mavlink module is a completely separate thing that runs on the applications processor and communicates to QGC via the network. So it is unclear to me how one would influence the other in any way. You can certainly try it in CRSF mode. You can also switch to Spektrum. For full M0065 support of both RC and PWM we would recommend waiting for the upcoming 1.0.x release that supports that combination.

@Eric-Katzfey how to start the system with crsf raw mode?
i didnt found it on the modalAi portal .
for mavlink mode i tracked open topic that says use voxl-px4 -r for mavlink...
this link : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-rc-configs/#crsf leading to "page not found"thanks for the support !

@bensusana Use
-cinstead of-r. Baudrate will be 250000 for CRSF (It's 115200 for Mavlink mode). -
hi guys ,
quick update , after a lot of testing and after we take out the IO board and still got some wobbling from the drone , we re-calibrate the f55 esc we got diffrent results from the last calibration , after updated the last resullts we did a flight test and the drone fly smoothly .thanks for the support ,
i hope that this topic will help others
