[Chad Sweet]

Can you run voxl-version and report what version of software you are running?

I thought this screenshot would give a better indication of the communication issue between the drone and QGC

[Eric Katzfey]

@TPSetati When you say that your RAM is running out, is that the RAM on the computer that is running QGC or on the VOXL2? For the connection issue, what are you using as your wireless link?

[TPSetati]

I mean the RAM on the host PC running QGC. I can't have QGC open for more than 5 minutes without the machine freezing up.

I am using the drone in softAP mode and connecting to its WiFi.

[Chad Sweet]

That sounds like a qgc issue. Have you reached out on the PX4 Discord?

[TPSetati]

No, I have not. How do I reach out?

I'll try them out. Thank you.

@TPSetati Is there a chance you have two ground stations trying to connect to the drone at the same time?
