@afdrus instead of rebooting, you can restart the server with: systemctl restart voxl-camera-server

Hi @Vinny , Thanks for your information, I already know current GPIO status.

@Chad-Sweet Understood and thanks.

@Eric-Katzfey Thanks again Eric. Looks like that was the part I was missing. I'll take a look.

@Vinny Thanks for your comments. Actually we have sent the block diagram to Chad for review. Once we have done the schematic, we will send to ModalAI for review.

Hi @dlee Can you please double check SW2. From that photo you posted, it seems as if it may stay be in the "ON" position, which would keep it in "EDL" mode and show up as "QUSB_BULK..." instead of an ADB debug device. Please be sure to follow this step carefully when performing QDL updates: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-qdl/ [image: 1676437032805-e7393327-f780-48b8-8b20-4c18a36639ff-image.png] We do not have many HW failures on Voxl2 in the field from routine use, so to have one so soon is surprising. However, if you are confident you are following all instructions and still wish to RMA it, we'll test it again to check for all basic functionality and debug the root cause of the failure, if any, and prompt you for further actions. Thanks!

@Matt-Turi Thanks !!

Hi Dan, We haven't tried this yet, and we don't have a pre-built solution that we can reference, but it should be doable. PX4 on VOXL2 is setup mainly to use the DSP UART right now, which are setup for an ESC and a GNSS (GPS) unit. In theory, the gimbal driver would just need to use one of these ports, but I have a hunch there's some coding involved, and it would take over one of the two UART ports above which might not be OK for you. We aren't doing this yet, but there are UARTs on the applications processor side that could be used via an add-on board for this use case likely. So, to sum it up, doable, but not out of the box from our docs at this point.

Hi @Aks , please refer to other thread where I have some info, thanks!

Hi @Chase-Riley Your best bet might be to start a new thread, that will help ensure you get more eyes on it for the best person on our side to help you along! Thanks!

@modaltb Thanks for your info.

Resolved

It is likely that driver is not supported. You may need to add it to the VOXL 2 PX4 build if you want to use the integrated flight controller. It may be easier to use an external flight controller if you want to use a broader set of inputs https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-px4-developer-guide/

@James-Strawson I am having the same error while transitioning from staging to stable branch. The voxl-vision-px4 is enabled but I am not able to make it run again

Because on my voxl2 it seems that neither this configuration nor the 2TOF2 configuration is possible... [image: 1680703429182-screenshot-from-2023-04-05-16-02-47.png]

On this note. Does anyone know what happened to the hellocl repo? The link on the Build Applications for VOXL, VOXL 2 and RB5 Flight page in the docs does not lead anywhere anymore.

@James-Strawson Hii , I am also getting the same issue . Kindly look at the following details .

@Chad-Sweet any suggestion?
