      Hello, me again my voxl m500 frame is driff while fly in position mode Screenshot from 2021-01-20 10-42-11.png

      here is the voxl/vision-px4.conf text. last time after reset the configuration to the factory -> then i also changed the offboard mode to "off" and the m500 can fly in poistion mode but the performance is not good, it's mean sometime the the driff was maintained. i think the problem is not here. (about reset the vision-config to the factory, i just reset and not config anything...
      pls help me!

        Is the tracking camera looking at interesting "features" when it takes off, or is it just white floor? If it can start on a carpet or something, the vision system will have something to track. this will help VIO reduce drift.

            Can you put some pieces of duct tape on the floor or something to make it more interesting to the VIO system? Especially since it looks like that floor might be reflective. Random small pieces of tape, like electrical or duct tape, would likely help.

            You can monitor the VIO stability on QGC. Those numbers should stabilize after takeoff, but obviously you want them stable on the ground too.

                the local NED position is look good at the init state as well as when i move the drone into the other location.

                  thanks for sending, I will pass along to someone more familiar. Was this all working before? Do you know what has changed?

                    last week it used to work normally. i did't changed any strange thing, just re-configuration the drone to the factory state. by "voxl-configure-vision-px4 -f" to take again the NED position cuz before that i had config vision lib by "voxl-configure-modalai-vl" and the local poistion is lost.

                        Does this behavior only occur in PX4 position mode? Does it fly in PX4 manual mode?

                          @James-Strawson yes,we only test uav in position mode. we didn't use manual for testing.

                            Please try manual mode. it seems there might be a PX4 parameter mismatch. It would be good to see if the m500 flies properly without VIO.

                            @modaltb Do you have a pointer to the Flight Core factory parmeters?

                            The VIO indoor EKF parameters are here

                              There's a few files (as we use DRY even on params 😉 The procedure to do this is here

                              When you reload the airframe (via these parameters) you'll end up losing calibration and having to go through the calibration process. This is documented here

                              You'll end up loading these, in this order:

                              • configures core airframe for m500 with 4S battery (standard):

                              • VIO indoor EKF
                                https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/flight-core-px4/px4-parameters/-/raw/master/helpers/ekf2_indoor_vio.params

                              • Serial params (to be safe, these should be set by default)

                              • If needed and applicable, radio
