Avoidance Question
-
Hello! Just reading through your documentation on Obstacle Avoidance .. it seems to imply that you just need to run a calibration and turn it on in /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf
When I do all this, I don't seem to be getting any meaningful obstacle data from the debug mode or in QGC. I assume that I also need to compile and run the avoidance ros node on my own apart from these instructions?
Can you please clarify?
Thanks! -
Hi Kip, right now that feature is only implemented in voxl-suite 0.2.0 and earlier. We're working right now on implementing for voxl-suite 0.3.5

I'm not so sure which one I'm on:

Hi @Chad-Sweet it appears that I am on voxl-suite 0.2.0 as indicated above. However, if QGC reports that avoidance system is unavailable and the vehicle will not arm. If I run
voxl-vision -sI can see the obstacle debug info on the terminal, also I set
"en_voa": true,Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
