Turtle mode compatibility with non Modalai ESC
-
Hey @Alex-Kushleyev @Eric-Katzfey @Vinny ,
I would like to know whether the turtle mode is possible on Flight core v2 with out using the Modal ai ESC.
I would like to use the vertiq Motors with on motors ESCs. vertiq motor -
@Jetson-Nano The turtle mode is built into the px4 voxl_esc driver so it will only work with that ESC.
-
@Eric-Katzfey So if I built similar driver for on px4 will it cause any errors with existing codes, once i remove the Voxl-esc driver and replace it with the vertiq esc code.
-
@Jetson-Nano , it seems that Vertiq has PX4 support, so you should be able to modify their driver to enable the turtle mode. The mode is triggered by checking the RC switch within the
voxl-escdriver.https://iqmotion.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/ifci_px4_flight_controller.html
If you disable the
voxl-escdriver, PX4 should work fine, as long as you correctly update the PX4 parameters to use another ESC type.Alex

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for the support.
Also I noticed only the VOXL-FPV-DEV version only have the voxl_esc_t_on option to control the esc through the joystick, The main version of modalai PX4 fork do not have them, is it under development.
The FPV-dev version do not support collision prevention, so i had to roll up to the main version, which gave me this issue. -
@Jetson-Nano , this question is probably for @Eric-Katzfey
-
@Alex-Kushleyev ok thank you, I will wait for @Eric-Katzfey reply
-
@Jetson-Nano This is a feature that was designed specifically for our FPV drones so that is the only branch that has it supported.
-
@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for reverting back, why does collision prevention not working with this px4 version.
The obstacle_distance topic is not showing in any mpc_pos_mod
-
@Eric-Katzfey hey, if I would like to implement the same in the main px4 fork (modalai) what all would i have to change.
