      @george-kollamkulam Here's voxl-logger https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-logger/ which you can use to record data. if you need to access the data real-time, that's a good source code starting point for how to capture the data into your application

      @sssagara IBSS is not something we have any experience with. As you see, it is an open source driver. You can also use different wifi adapters

      @nicksheldon

      Hadron 640R support is in beta. You can request a custom invoice for the adapter at https://modalai.com/contact

      We have no experience with Herelink. The modems we have support for MVX, Doodle Labs, Cellular and Wifi

      You cannot use HD Zero to send video from VOXL 2

      The software is all open, so if you need to send custom gimbal commands you may need to update the software

      VIO cameras need to be fixed mounted with the VOXL 2 and cannot be on a gimbal

      @berayksl Hi there,

      In the VOXL2 file /etc/modalai/vio_cams.conf all the cameras should be listed as a JSON record. the top-level disable attribute of each record can be edited to turn cameras on and off (make front true and the others false for just the front camera).

      On calibration, instructions can be found here.

      If the camera's physical positions changed from delivered, then you'll need to update the extrinsics.

      @Sarika-Sharma Interesting, is there a different USB cable / port combo you can try? It may be worth trying with a USB-A to C cable as some C to C cables don't contain the proper data lines

      @Rajamani , Yes you can connect a raspberry pi to VOXL2 via a USB C cable (using the USB C port next to the VOXL2 power connector). The RPI will be the "host" in this case, and you can use ADB from RPI to access voxl2 (just like connecting VOXL2 to a laptop or a desktop computer).

      Please make sure to use the USB 3.0 port on the raspberry pi and test the cable / usb port before doing any further design plans (just to make sure it works for you).

      @robertociuch,

      Currently, you cannot set a fixed exposure and gain from voxl-camera-server.conf file. However, after camera server starts, you can send the following command to set the fixed exposure and gain:

      voxl-send-command <name-of-output-stream> set_exp_gain <exposure_ms_float> <gain_int>

      for example

      voxl-send-command tracking set_exp_gain 20.0 100

      The name-of-output-stream should match the pipe/stream name that you are using. Since there can be multiple streams for the same camera, you can use any stream to set this param.

      We will add the ability to set constant exposure / gain to camera server in the future release.

      The EIS branch is ready for initial tested. Please see the doc file:

      https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/blob/eis/voxl2-eis.md

      You will need to build the camera server from this branch (and it's best to be able to do that anyway, if experimenting with eis..). Please note that you will need the latest voxl-cross:V4.0 docker image to build the camera server.

      The eis branch is sync'ed to latest dev as of today. Added basic params for specifying EIS behavior, as documented (eis_mode, eis_view, eis_follow_rate). Parameter usage is documented as well as basic voxl-camera-server.conf example is provided. Parameter names may change in the future, but the changes will be documented.

      Please use the latest IMX412 driver as instructed. For best results, use input resolution of 4040x3040 and output resolution can be anything. including 3840x2160. 4K60 output is supported (h265 strongly recommended), but you will not be able to view that via the voxl-portal.

      This release also supports eis on 3 additional MISP channels (can be different resolutions).

      We will be focusing next on improving stabilized ROI behavior for smoother output and experimenting more with rolling shutter compensation.

      Please try it out, i would be excited to get initial feedback.

      @george-kollamkulam , yes FLIR Lepton 3.5 just inserts into M0157 board which has the socket for the bare Lepton sensor.

      Once you install the sensor into the docket, boot up voxl2 and run voxl-lepton-server. It will autogenerate a default config file /etc/modalai/voxl-lepton-server.conf that will look like this.

      { "spi_bus": 14, "spi_speed": 16000000, "en_i2c": false, "i2c_bus": 0, "shutter_mode": "auto", "flow_shutter_s": 20, "closePeriodInFramesInAir": 1, "openPeriodInFramesInAir": 0, "desiredFfcPeriodMsInAir": 360000, "desiredFfcTempDeltaCentiDegInAir": 600, "en_rotate": false }

      You will need to change the SPI bus to 0 and , set en_i2c to true and i2c_bus to 4 because this is the configuration for this Hardware arrangement (M0173 + M0157) per the following documentation : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-d0014/#downward-range-finder-and-flir-lepton

      Then you can run voxl-lepton-server again in foreground or enable the systemd server using systemctl enable voxl-lepton-server and systemctl start voxl-lepton-server . After that you shoud be able to see the Lepton output using voxl-portal.

      @george-kollamkulam

      Hi,

      ROS2 Melodic requires Ubuntu 20.04 and the VOXL runs Ubuntu 18.04. You could install ROS2 Foxy following this guide. $ apt-get install voxl-ros2-foxy $ source /opt/ros/foxy/local_setup.bash Likewise you can't directly use ROS2 humble on the VOXL because it requires Ubuntu 22.04. We usually run ROS2 inside a docker container. Check out the prebuilt ROS2 images you can have as the base (https://hub.docker.com/_/ros/).

      Let me know if that helps!

      Ted

      @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you! For the moment we have decided to stick with USB since we can fit that into the current electrical architecture, but I appreciate the offer and may take you up on it at some point in the future if our design changes.

      Thanks,

      @Aaron-Porter The VFC flight mode that will be entered when switching into offboard is dependant on what is specified in /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-hub.conf

      Example here:

      "vfc_submode_ch": 6, "vfc_alt_mode_rc_min": 0, "vfc_alt_mode_rc_max": 0, "vfc_flow_mode_rc_min": 1700, "vfc_flow_mode_rc_max": 2100, "vfc_hybrid_flow_mode_rc_min": 0, "vfc_hybrid_flow_mode_rc_max": 0, "vfc_position_mode_rc_min": 1300, "vfc_position_mode_rc_max": 1700, "vfc_traj_mode_rc_min": 0, "vfc_traj_mode_rc_max": 0,

      In this example, VFC flight modes are monitored on channel 6
      Depending on what position the switch is in, a different VFC mode will be entered

      So for example, if the middle position of flight modes is set to "Offboard", when the switch is flipped into the middle position ~1500, VFC position mode will be entered
