    @wilkinsaf voxl-static-ip is pretty "dumb" as it doesn't check to see if the interface is actually up before trying to modify the IP so that's probably the reason why you need the big sleep, but I'm sure you figured that out already.

      @tom Yeah. I think I figured it out

      My uname has "m0054". It uses eth0 as interface instead of usb0. i dont see code for setting the ip for eth0. What is weird is that I also see usb0 come up as an interface. But I am going to add some code here to hopefully fix that. Will make a branch or something if it is useful for someone else

        @wilkinsaf Do you have any other type of network connection going? WiFi? Ethernet?

        I can try to copy your setup, so you've got a VOXL2 w/ Microhard add-on? anything else important connected? mipi cameras and such wouldn't affect this

          @wilkinsaf Also a voxl-version would be helpful to see. To give you some background on why this part is a little confusing, on newer builds of Microhard add-ons we had to change out a chip due to supply shortages and so the newer Microhard add-ons will be handled as "usb0" instead of "eth0".

            @wilkinsaf Oh also, while I'm asking you things, the output of the following would be helpful as well:

            dmesg | grep eth0
            
            dmesg | grep usb0

              cameras: stereo, tracking, hires (although my config only has the tracking and hires turned on rn)

                    @tom

                    I threw some code in there to do the operation, but it's pretty much the same as voxl-static-ip

                    3370d275-093b-4cd7-aa36-643c381d7827-image.png

                    I am just going to go with this patch for right now to continue dev work.

                        @tom said in Sentinel VOXL2 Microhard not running:

                        /etc/network/interfaces

                        93d3ec0a-f8d9-4fbb-a829-e7b3551ab0f1-image.png

                        I am wondering if they could be clashing
