Having issues Configuring ROS on VOXL CAM

Saying the same thing

Assuming you are trying to run ROS master on your VOXL, first find out what is your VOXL's IP? Let's call that <VOXL IP>
Then, can you ping that IP from the computer you are trying to run Rviz?
$ ping <VOXL IP>If so, on VOXL edit your ROS environment
export ROS_IP="<VOXL IP>"Then start ROS on the VOXL. Monitor the output of the ROS master when it launches, you should see the "roscore" IP the same as what you just configured.
If so, configure the ROS environment on your PC
What is the IP of your PC on the same network as the VOXL? We'll call that <PC IP>
Configure the PC's ROS environment as such:
export ROS_MASTER_URI="http://<VOXL IP>:11311" export ROS_IP="<PC IP>"Then launch RViz
Note: The instructions above are configuring the master to be the VOXL by pointing both VOXL and the PC to the VOXL's IP address as master. Checkout slides 7,8,9 in the presentation here

@Chad-Sweet I’m connected to the VOXL using Adb not wifi

ROS uses wifi to communicate, not ADB. You'll need to connect the drone and you computer to the same network in order to use ros. This can either be done by connecting the drone to your home/work network or by setting the drone to serve as an AP. Instructions for either can be found here

@Chad-Sweet I am also having the same issue. I am not sure what im doing wrong.
This is my PC (my_ros_env.sh)
This is my VOXL (my_ros_env.sh)
This is what I get when I try to show my voxl-env
Setting up environment variables for ROS is a little confusing for me.
I am using wifi to communicate with VOXL.
My VOXL IP is the usual 192.168.8.1
My PC IP is 192.168.8.78I am stuck here.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? -

Hi,
It looks like you're on a pretty old release of our software stack (3.3.0-0.5), you should download the latest release (3.8.0-0.7) from our downloads page and we'll be better able to support issues that you're having since there's a good chance we've fixed them in the 10 months since the 0.5 release.
