Upgrading PX4 for VOXL2
-
Ok, .
What about 1.13, is it going to be released soon? and is it going to be supported for PX4?
-
@Abdullah01 We have no plans to support PX4 1.13.x on VOXL2.
-
@Eric-Katzfey Is this just a command to execute on the voxl, px4 will be updated and all else remain equal - custom configs and all?
Thanks
-
@Filip-Slezak Depends. Which custom configs are you referring to? Parameter settings are stored in /data/px4/param/parameters and would not be overwritten when installing an updated voxl-px4 Debian package.
-
@Eric-Katzfey Yeah ok I think I got it. So just execute the above dpkg install. Would be cool if it checked for updates itself every once in a while
-
@Eric-Katzfey I am interested in trying out 1.14 with released system image 1.5.5 (SDK 0.9.5) over voxl2. What are the limitations of this PX4 version as of now?
-
@Aaky The main limitations are that it doesn't support RB5 nor M0065 hardware yet. Only VOXL2 and VOXL2 mini.
-
@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for the update.
-
Does it mean I can try PX4 1.14 dev branch code directly on VOXL2 hardware with system image 1.5.5 (SDK 0.9.5)?
-
Will it support position hold and normal VIO based position flight mode?
-
Also regarding M0065, if I want to use Modalai ESC instead of M0065, will it work?
-
-
@Aaky Yes, the newer PX4 will support position hold and normal VIO flight modes. The ModalAI ESC will work fine, just not M0065. If you are interested in trying our latest software platform release (currently in beta) it contains all of our latest software including 1.14.0-2.0.34 PX4. If you would like to try this I can email a link to you.

@Aaky I sent the link. We have tried GPS position hold and VIO but not fusion. PX4 is supposed to have better support for that in 1.14.0 but we haven't tested it yet. We would love to hear how your testing with that progresses.
