QGC Not Connecting to the Sentinel

[Raza Rizvi]

Hello, I am following this QuickStart Guide, but my QGC is unable to connect to the Sentinel drone.

1. The drone is successfully connected to the WiFi

ifconfig # On the Drone

ifconfig # On the Host Laptop

2. I can Ping from the drone to my Host laptop, and vice-versa

3. I mentioned the Host IP Address inside the voxl-vision-px4.conf

Still, when running the QGC on Host, it shows disconnected

@Raza-Rizvi can you make sure that there's no firewall setup blocking the connection.

Could you also provide the output of

systemctl status -l voxl-vision-px4

[Raza Rizvi]

@Adrian-Hidalgo

Yes, the firewall is disabled.

Here's the output to the mentioned command:

The mavlink server is also running

[Adrian Hidalgo]

@Raza-Rizvi are you connected over softap or station?
Can you ssh into the drone?

[Raza Rizvi]

@Adrian-Hidalgo

I am connected over station. And Yes, I can SSH to the drone.

@Raza-Rizvi Please post the output of “voxl-inspect-services” and “voxl-version”

@Raza-Rizvi That error message "voxl-mavlink-server does not appear to be running" isn't normal. You may want to run through voxl-configure-mpa again, set your host IP in voxl-vision-px4.conf, then reboot your drone.
