VOXL2 Mini internal PX4 is taking more than 100% CPU Usage
-
My Voxl 2 Mini is taking More than 100% cpu , and temperatures are going so up while running the PX4.
Voxl 2 mini is taking nearly - 550mA current at 2S battery.
If we are running other services except PX4 , the temperature was normal

@Trinadh Is this with SDK 1.0.0? Is this VOXL2 mini in a drone? If so, what is the configuration (e.g. What peripherals like GPS, RC, ESC, etc. are attached)?

@Eric-Katzfey , Hi we are using VOXL2 Mini SDK 1.0.0 - i am not attached GPS, RC, ESC. any other peripherals, the output is the same, and PX4 is running at 140% as well.
I have tried using ESC also but the output is the same.
The module is heating up crazy!!!

@Trinadh Can you edit the file
/etc/modalai/voxl-px4.confand set GPS=NONE, RC=EXTERNAL, POWER_MANAGER=NONE, DISTANCE_SENSOR=NONE, and OSD=DISABLE. After updating that file and rebooting does the CPU utilization change at all?
