Voxl not connecting to QGC

[tom]

Hi @PawelJ

Can you try power cycling your drone and then providing the output of systemctl status -l voxl-vision-px4

[PawelJ]

@tom said in Voxl not connecting to QGC:

systemctl status -l voxl-vision-px4

Sorry for the delay, I had to shift work for a few weeks. I was also able to get the drone to connect to my windows laptop, however I am still facing the same problem when connecting to my ubuntu 20 desktop. I just went through the connection process again and added my desktops ip given by the voxl-m500, and power cycled as you asked.

I am still not automatically connecting to QGC, please let me know if there is any other information I can send you.

Cheers

@PawelJ It looks as though you are using the correct IP in your config file and voxl-vision-px4 is running correctly. Is it possible that you have some custom firewall setup on your host PC that is blocking traffic on that port?

[tom]

@tom I've seen this happen on Windows with QGC, I believe it can happen on Ubuntu devices as well.

[PawelJ]

Ah now I feel silly, it turns out my firewall was blocking the connection. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Can you confirm if it's port 14550 that I need to allow for the connection?

[tom]

@PawelJ Yep, it should be either 14550 or 14551.

[PawelJ]

Thanks for sorting that out Is there a way I can mark the question as resolved? I don't see the option anywhere.

[tom]

@PawelJ There isn't, we like to keep all posts visible in case other users run into the same issue.

[PawelJ]

@tom that sounds great, this forum has already been incredibly useful in my initial setup Just to clarify, I was asking if there was a way to mark the question as having an answer, vs being an ongoing issue. This is helpful when searching through the forum as well.

[tom]

@PawelJ There isn't an exact way to do that, if you want you could edit your initial question and add a [SOLVED] section at the top and describe the solution.
