ModalAI Forum

@Moderator I think none of the previous yolo versions allow tracker usage without having explicit access to the model itself, and based on what I read on the modal ai documentation there is no way to do that.

nevermind, this is fixable with voxl-configure-mpa-to-ros2 and voxl-configure-pkg-manager. Leaving this up for anyone else having the same problem.

@Eric-Katzfey This is working great, been playing around with it for the last week or so. The next thing I'll be working on will be the order in which the cameras streams are displayed to QGC. It seems right now on boot the initial stream that comes up in randomized over the various camera being fed into QGC.

Also, if you are using very old SDK on VOXL2, the uart bridge may not be working 100% properly. When in doubt, the best thing to do is to connect to the ESC using a serial to usb adapter going directly to a Linux PC (and run voxl-esc tools on the PC). do you have that available?

@Eric-Katzfey Thanks to you we now have our motors running right off the SLPI processor with PX4 as a UART 'bus'. Everything seems to work great. The main issue was figuring out what qshell commands to send to start it up properly.

@JoeC Ah, yes, that is an excellent question! Rather than try to update the firmware in your existing voxl io board(s) we will send you new one(s) with the updated firmware. These new ones will also be upgradeable in the future. Contact us at http://modalai.com/contact to request your updated module(s).

Plan so far for setup clone voxl-configure on gitlab add my own case statement to voxl-configure-mpa [image: 1699466022971-d0bdfbf8-2393-4a2c-bbd5-a039b2b0408b-image.png] If I wanted to add my own script to run after, I could probably add it after voxl-check-calibration [image: 1699466074353-80734ed0-6595-428c-8cf4-ef5db25e33f3-image.png] modify voxl-configure-sku with the board that I am using and the camera setup I have[image: 1699466375636-482ed50c-2d31-4752-9289-386c196a375d-image.png] I would recompile voxl-configurator myself (forming a deb file) Plug in voxl2 Flash most recent SDK copy the voxl-configurator deb file onto the device and install it run voxl-configure-sku run voxl-configure-mpa and select my custom added drone

@James-Strawson That makes a ton of sense, thanks for the explanation! Also just noticed that it mentions this right above the definition. I should just learn to use my eyes

@tom Perfect, thanks! I'll check these out

@peterkrull I think qrb5165-emulator is a fine choice.
