VOXL2 takeoff and land script
-
Hi, I am trying to upload and run this example script on my voxl2-FCV2 equipped drone
https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/voxl-docker-mavsdk-python/-/tree/master
I would like to modify this to create a custom trajectory sequence using an April tag to precision land. I have reviewed the tech docs of relocalization. and have properly set that up and verified the drone is using the tags as reference localization but beyond that I cannot get this script implemented. There doesn't seem to be any guides on how exactly the precision landing function is incorporated between px4 and voxl2. I did see an early video of a modalai dev drone executing a precision land but there wasn't any explanation of how that is set up.
I also cannot get this properly built and deployed to the voxl2. I know this example is quite old, so I wonder if I am going about it correctly using voxl-cross to deploy it.
If anyone could point me in the correct direction of getting this to run it would be greatly appreciated!

@Gary-Holmgren Check out the AprilTag Relocalization page
Basically, every time an AprilTag is viewed, the position is updated to reflect that tag as an anchor. So, it's not precision landing as much as position refinement. You then land at the desired position which should be more accurate due to the position refinement with the fiducial marker
We haven't looked at the MAVSDK in a while, is there a specific error you're running into?
