    I have a problem where my voxl flight showed up in adb devices, I ran the install.sh script and it failed and afterwards it didnt show up on my computer. Is there anything I can do without the debug board to fix this? Below is the code of the installation.

    ben@ben-desktop:~/Downloads/modalai-3-1-0$ ./install.sh 
    [INFO] adb installed
    [INFO] fastboot installed
    
    This process will completely wipe your VOXL
    Would you like to preserve the /data/ partition which contains
    things like calibration, wifi config, and docker images
    To preserve files in /data/ answer Y
    To wipe /data/ for a full factory flash answer N
    
    Enter Y or N: 
    y

      Hi @Arrowtec ,

      I've seen this myself before. In my case the device would then show up after running sudo fastboot devices and I could proceed after trying again.

      If it's not showing up with either sudo fastboot devices or adb devices it would likely need the Debug board which allows you to force it to boot into fastboot....
