Package installs without internet
-
@sarahl No, it definitely does not need to be in USB C.
-
@sarahl The dongle's driver is most likely not built in to the kernel by default. What does
lsusbshow? It may show the name of the necessary driver. -
@tom this is what lsusb shows:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 7392:b811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd -
Separate question: so I have wifi hooked up on an RB5, but everytime I reboot, the ip address changes. Is there a way to change that? It doesn't seem to happen with my voxls (in station).
-
@sarahl You'd probably be better off purchasing one of the dongles listed here: https://beta-docs.modalai.com/voxl2-wifidongle-user-guide/
It takes some work to integrate a new WiFi driver and isn't the most straight-forward thing to do.
-
@sarahl As for static ip on RB5, I would check out this thread for more info: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/794/how-to-set-up-a-static-ip-in-rb5/17?_=1649955285381
-
@sarahl It is a known bug with the Thundercomm SOMs.

@tom thanks! we did put in an order for some, so hopefully I will get those soon. also thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

So I'm trying to reflash the Voxl2, but the image listed in the docs (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-platform-release/#voxl2_platform_121-07) doesn't seem to be available on the downloads page, just 1.1.4. Is this available yet?
We've had issues installing the available system image (1.1.4) with/without the fastboot board, either with fastboot devices showing nothing, or getting an error like:

We just uploaded the image to the downloads page, it can be found under the VOXL2 platform releases folder!

@Alex-Gardner thanks so much!

What's the best way to install full ROS melodic without all the voxl-suite packages being uninstalled due to dependency conflicts (e.g. opencv)?
-
Also, how should mavros (px4.launch) be run with the internal px4 on the voxl2?
