Upside down TOF?
-
Hey all! Some of you might like to know that my seeker is up and running with A: VOXL main pipe running to J5, Telem 1 instead of J1, Telem 2 (which I ham-handedly ripped off the board..
) on the V1 FC, and B: A working, pinging LTE internet connection after trying an EIOT SIM card (the SIM socket, however, is still pretty cranky and requires me to pretty much disassemble the voxl-cam to get it in and properly locked). This question is simple: Why is my TOF camera inverted 180deg (upside down) compared to the stereo and tracking cameras in my portal multi-cam view? I can't see any option to flip it in the camera server config file and I'm using the standard voxl-configure-cameras seeker_voxlcam setup. Is it supposed to be like this?? -
@Bulldog357 thanks for the updates and I'm glad you are able to get it all working albeit with some "fun" hacks. For B, are you saying that the SIM doesn't fit or that the modem unplugs? Trying to understand this part. Thanks
As for the TOF being upside-down, it only fits that way in the front bezel. So the camera is literally upside down. Unfortunately, software can't flip this camera orientation :I -
Hey Adrian, thanks for the reply! Chad also replied this morning affirming the inverted image in the portal is normal. I was afraid to fly it until I could confirm that. On the SIM, like I said in the other post, after inserting the new EIOT SIM I ordered and A: Killing the voxl modem service temporarily then B: booting up and killing the WiFi then
running the shell script to configure the modem with the new custom APN for the new sim (which, by the way, is running on the same ATT network as the prepaid ATT phone sim I was trying to use.. it has to be the provisioning on the carrier side that keeps it from working in the modem) thus making the WWAN gateway the default gateway, I can now get a response to any ping I throw at the internet through the wan. I believe the issue with the SIM card socket that makes me have to take things apart to get the sim to actually click into place properly has to do with board "tweakage" or flexing just enough to make the rather delicate sim card locking mechanism bind. You know the board is basically held in position by the two corner silicone grommets and the B2B connector... it doesn't have any kind of screws or standoffs holding it precisely where you want it against the frame. It's just kind of sandwiched in there. if you were to continue to develop the product, I'd look into screwing it down,, Anyway, now that I have a working SIM, all I have to do is keep it active and hopefully never take the Voxl Cam apart again!
