Vision failure everytime during takeoff
-
My next step is to share some PX4 params (pid settings, cutoff filters) that got my sentinel stable, but I need my team to validate before sending. I’m not clear if this will solve everything but will at least be a good data point. I’m hoping to get this tested tomorrow and will share

@Tamas-Pal-0 ...
I still have nothing to report as far as finding root cause of something, after our tune tweaks I was up and going. I am still testing though for this use case to see if there's some edge case I'm not seeing, I'm just a bit slow with this debugging.
As far as sharing my params that got me flying, I don't even know if my approach here is valid, you have different motor/prop setup, and frames aren't identical, battery type?...
My lawyer told me to tell you "not to use these since we don't have the same setup and the author/developer in the post here isn't really a pilot so...." You've been warned by the lawyer!

Any chance you could post a link to a video of a flight to help us understand the failure mode even more? Sorry to this going, but we're struggling to find a smoking gun.
@modaltb I am using your parameters here and disbaled the modalai_esc driver. The video link is here

OK thanks for the data. This is where I'm at now with my VOXL2 / VOXL2 IO setup sentinel, it's not super clean yet but but flyable for sure:

Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 ,
These are BLHeli 20A, should be similar/same as the ones from this kit: https://shop.holybro.com/spare-parts-s500-kit_p1251.html
Here's my setup:

On my setup yes that was all I needed to do, but we are still going to do a "full proper tune" on our S500 based frame (Sentinel dev drone) and I will confirm with you that we are getting performance as expected after this and share a video. Our flight test team will be doing that this week, thanks for the patience!!!
