    @Alex-Kushleyev Yes I have. For some reason, the px4-config file is always empty (the file that I have to edit the ground station's IP into), this keeps happening with multiple SDKs that I have tried installing

    @utari_ais What file are you talking about? What is the file name and path?

        @utari_ais The gcs IP setting was moved a while back into /etc/modalai/voxl-mavlink-server.conf, look for the primary_static_gcs_ip field.

        voxl-vision-px4 was also renamed to voxl-vision-hub

          @tom is there somewhere I can find the changes, the main documentation isn't updated so it is rather confusing

                @tom I have run into the same problem again. I am using this guide https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-wifi/

                I am unable to connect the seeker to QGC. It worked last week, but now its not. I have correctly put the gcp IP setting in voxl-mavlink-server.conf and followed all the steps.

                I am also unable to connect the spektrum transmitter to the drone, I always get a bind failed error whenever I try with QGC connected.

                Any help is appreciated.

                  @utari_ais , are you able to establish the connection from GCS (instead of voxl2 trying to connect to GCS)? As described here : https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-wifi/#initiating-connection-to-voxl-from-qgroundcontrol

                    @Alex-Kushleyev Nope. I have followed all the steps but nothing happens. QGC still says "Disconnected".

                      @utari_ais can you please make sure that both voxl-px4 and voxl-mavlink-server are running?

                      voxl2:/$ voxl-inspect-services | grep mavlink
                       voxl-mavlink-server      |  Enabled  |   Running   |     0.6%
                      voxl2:/$ voxl-inspect-services | grep voxl-px4
                       voxl-px4                 | Enabled  |   Running   |    25.1%

                          @utari_ais , you may need to run voxl-configure-mpa to set up the board parameters (including px4) according to your device / drone. did you do that after SDK install?

                              @Alex-Kushleyev is there anyway I can hard reset the drone? I think clearing it out and reinstalling might just do the trick

                                @utari_ais Since you're using a voxl1 px4 is running on the flight core not on the voxl itself like voxl2. Therefore there is no voxl-px4 service on voxl1
