    Hi,

    I'm on testing VOXL flight deck. I tried to calibrate IMU using configured voxl-configure-sanv command, but it failed because of SN.

    could you please let me know how to sucess IMU calibaration?

    Thanks,

    yocto:/# voxl-configure-snav

    attempting to use camera configuration 3
    adding override_cam_id value=1 to /etc/snav/camera.downward.xml
    adding override_cam_id value=2 to /etc/snav/camera.stereo.xml
    Writing new configuration to /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf:
    {

    },
    "video": {

    "width": 640,
    "height": 480,
    "format": "raw8"
    }
    }
    }

    Which physical configuration is this for?

    1. 200_quad_2S_pack 4) voxlcam_upside_down_tracking_cam
    2. 230_quad_3S_pack 5) voxl_230_3s_quad_secondary_imu
    3. voxlcam_upright_tracking_cam
      #? 4
      reloading systemd services
      stopping imu_app

    the next step is static IMU calibration
    Make sure the quadcopter or VOXL-CAM is flat/upright (roll/pitch=0)
    be patient, this will take 20-30 seconds
    PRESS ENTER to start static IMU calibration

    Starting SNAV: Warning: snav_dronecontroller.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
    Done
    FastRPC call to update data failed

    Detected likely failure in SN. Ensure it is running and attempt calibration call again.
