New ToF sensor

frafrat

Hello,

I just got several new ToF sensors and need to connect them to my quadcopter. I noticed that to work correctly this sensors requires VOXL SDK >= v1.2.
Is there any way I can still use it right now with SDK v1.1.3? Do you have any code I can try it out? I really need to use them ASAP.

Thanks

@frafrat ,

You would need to run voxl-camera-server that comes with SDK 1.2 . You can grab a deb package of recent voxl-camera-server but it has other dependencies, so other packages will need to be updated from sdk 1.2. it could be a mess, but you can try it.

http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-camera-server_1.9.0-202403211533_arm64.deb

when you install it, if there are unmet dependencies, dpkg will tell you. and then you will go down the rabbit hole to satisfy those dependencies and installing newer packages (you could do it by updating apt sources to use dev) : modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modalai.list to use dev instead of sdk-1.1 (and then apt-get update and then apt-get install <package> to get the newer version. Or you could pull the packages manually from voxl-packages site.

I know for sure there is one dependency that is not in voxl-packages, which is the TOF processing library. I will check how you might be able to get it.

Did you at least try to use the TOF sensor with SDK 1.2?
