    Hello Modal AI team,

    I am trying to enable and run voxl-io-server. I was successfully able to enable it but when starting the system, it would not run. I ran into this error when I asked for its status

    voxl2:/$ systemctl status voxl-io-server
    ● voxl-io-server.service - voxl-io-server
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/voxl-io-server; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

      @tonygurney said in voxl-io-server won't run:

      no config file found, please run voxl-configure-rangefinders

      Did you try running voxl-configure-rangefinders?

        Did you try running voxl-configure-rangefinders?

        Yes I have, and these are the outputs:

        voxl2:/$ voxl-configure-rangefinders
        missing required argument

        Start wizard with prompts:
        voxl-configure-rangefinders

        Shortcut configuration arguments for scripted setup.
        factory_enable will reset the config file to factory defaults
        before enabling the service.

        voxl-configure-rangefinders disable
        voxl-configure-rangefinders 1_on_m0141
        voxl-configure-rangefinders 1_downward_on_m0141
        voxl-configure-rangefinders 4_on_m0141
        voxl-configure-rangefinders 1_downward_on_m0173
        voxl-configure-rangefinders enable

        1_downward_on_m0141 is for a downward sensor, this enables mavlink
        broadcast to the autopilot as a landing sensor

        show this help message:
        voxl-configure-rangefinders help

        is there a certain option I should select?
