Voxl2 Spektrum Receiver error

Chase Riley · 28 Sept 2023, 15:10

I am currently working on a custom frame with a Voxl2 running SDK 1.0.0. I am currently have a issue with integration of a Spektrum Satellite Receiver (Model # SPM9745). The receiver is bound to the transmitter and has the solid red light on the receiver and seems to be functioning fine , however I am not able to calibrate in QGC. QGC does not detect that there is any RC channels.

I have the receiver pinned directly into J19 and have followed the pinout shown at (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-rc-configs/).

Below is the error I see when running voxl-px4. The error will just repeat it self indefinitely. I am hoping someone from the Dev team will be able to help me troubleshoot this issue.

@Chase-Riley We use these receivers and haven't had an issue with them. The error message indicates it is getting 16 bytes at a time which matches the protocol specification. But it is not able to parse the protocol from that 16 bytes. That could either indicate a misalignment of some sort or a corruption of the data. Are you able to look at the TX line coming out of the 9745 on an oscilloscope? The error message is getting cutoff at the end. It should also be reporting the value of the protocol byte. It would be nice to see that. There is a verbose mode for the driver which will pront out more diagnostic information. You need to add the -v option to the start command (qshell spektrum_rc start) in the startup file /usr/bin/voxl-px4-start and then it will print out more information.

@Eric-Katzfey Unfortunately I do not have access to a Oscope right now. I added in the "-v " option to the command as you recommended and have included the results below.

@Eric-Katzfey I've seen a similar issue with a DX7 transmitter paired to an off the shelf Sentinel. The binding worked but no data made it through the dsm parser. In that case the packets looked like:

INFO  [muorb] SLPI: 0x1c 0x01 0x04 0xb4 0x15 0xf0 0x09 0xfe 0x0d 0xfe 0x01 0xc2 0x13 0x56 0x1b 0x57

This line of the code never sees rx_buf[1] 0x02 bit high and first_correct_frame_received never goes true.

I'm not familiar enough with DSM to recommend a safe fix. (a minor change to the line above made data flow but was not robust when power cycling the transmitter...) Just confirming I've seen some spektrum transmitter hardware not work with the voxl2 parser.

@ben-grocholsky Thanks Ben! Yes, and it sure would be nice to see the end of the error line to see what that protocol byte is. Unfortunately it gets truncated in the output. @Chase-Riley do you have the ability to rebuild px4?

Eric Katzfey · 29 Sept 2023, 17:58

@Chase-Riley As Ben suggested some DSM transmitters may cause it to use a different flavor of the protocol and break the driver code. Is it possible to try a different model of transmitter?

ben grocholsky · 30 Sept 2023, 00:15

@Eric-Katzfey changing to accept 0x01 or 0x02 in rx_buf[1] appears to make my DX7 transmitter work. input_rc -> RC_CHANNELS shows up and starts/stops when powering the transmitter on/off. Any thoughts on if this is an acceptable change?

} else if (((newbytes != DSM_FRAME_SIZE) || ((rx_buf[1] & 0x0F) != 0x02)) && (! first_correct_frame_received)) {

to

} else if (((newbytes != DSM_FRAME_SIZE) || (((rx_buf[1] & 0x0F) != 0x02) && ((rx_buf[1] & 0x0F) != 0x01))) && (! first_correct_frame_received)) {

@Chase-Riley if needed, I can send you a deb file that will print out lots of debugs. Not safe for flying but hopefully it could help understanding what's happening.

Chase Riley · 2 Oct 2023, 12:27

@Eric-Katzfey I can certainly try to rebuild px4. Just to confirm this would be done using a docker image (https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/rb5-flight/rb5-flight-px4-build-docker) correct?

@ben-grocholsky That would be great if you could send me over the deb file to see if we can figure this out.

Eric Katzfey · 2 Oct 2023, 15:39

@Chase-Riley Yes, in that Docker. If you can rebuild then you can add Ben's patch and see if that solves your issue. If you cannot figure out how to build I could make a special deb for you to test out.

Chase Riley · 2 Oct 2023, 19:43

@Eric-Katzfey I am attempting to rebuild px4, however there is a bit of a learning curve for me. If a custom deb file would be easy for you to throw together I would be willing to test that why I am working through the rebuild process.

ben grocholsky · 2 Oct 2023, 21:19

@Chase-Riley Here's a debug deb to try while you're working out building custom voxl-px4 voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.50_DSMDEBUG_arm64.deb
It'll print out a bunch of info if you stop the service systemctl stop voxl-px4 and run voxl-px4 manually in a shell. If the 0x01 protocol byte is the issue you're having, then this version will start publishing RC data to uorb/mavlink. Otherwise, at least you'll be able to see what the raw data packets look like.

Chase Riley · 5 Oct 2023, 15:42

@ben-grocholsky @Eric-Katzfey My apologies for the delay. I ran voxl-px4 using Ben's custom deb file. Below is a snippet of the data.

@ben-grocholsky @Eric-Katzfey I attempted to run voxl-px4 again after a power cycle and encountered this error. Similar to the error before but looks to be showing the info that was cut off in the previous deb file.

@Chase-Riley In the first of these two runs you were getting 0x01 protocol byte like I see on my DX7 transmitter. In that state with this binary you should see rc_input uorb messages and be able to try the Radio Calibration tool tab on QGroundControl.

In the second run you're seeing 0x00 protocol byte and unfortunately I'm not sure what that means.

If you can get the first case working repeatedly using one of the voxl-bind-spektrum options -t -f -s then we're on the path to a fix. Which did you use and have you tried them all?

Chase Riley · 5 Oct 2023, 18:45

@ben-grocholsky I am using a DX8 Transmitter during these test. Would the voxl-bind-spektrum be needed/do anything if I am not using the Spektrum bind board from Modal AI? I currently have the Spektrum receiver hooked directly to J19 on the VOXL2. When I was using SDK .0.9.5 I had the same receiver connected to the VOXL I/O board, and it worked great. Unfortunately the I/O board is not supported in SDK 1.0.0.

ben grocholsky · 6 Oct 2023, 04:16

@Chase-Riley I didn't realize that had changed in V1.0. If you have access to a an alternative px4 fmu you could use the QGC pairing function to change the spektrum mode connected to that fmu and then plug it back into the voxl2. That could help check if one of the three options is more reliable. I'm not sure why you saw different data packets on a restart. Need to resolve that or try a different transmitter.

Chase Riley · 12 Oct 2023, 15:27

@ben-grocholsky @Eric-Katzfey I got it to work using by using the DSM2 binding method with another Px4 FMU. I do have a question though. I am now not able to get the actuators tab to show up in QGC for my ModalAI ESC. Would you DEB file have something to do with this? I have checked all my params in QGC and all seems to be correct. This was just the only other variable I could think of and wanted to check. Should I go back to running a standard DEB file? If so where would I find that now that I am running the custom debug one?

Eric Katzfey · 12 Oct 2023, 15:38

@Chase-Riley The standard px4 Debian package will set up the data correctly such that the actuators tab will be visible. For SDK 1.0 the packages are all available at http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/sdk-1.0/binary-arm64/. To grab the px4 package use wget http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/sdk-1.0/binary-arm64/voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.34_arm64.deb

Chase Riley · 12 Oct 2023, 18:06

@Eric-Katzfey Unfortunately once I switch back to the standard Debian package the Spektrum error is back. I had it working every power up with the Debian Package from Ben.

ben grocholsky · 13 Oct 2023, 06:34

@Eric-Katzfey the test deb file was just voxl-dev branch with the one line change to accept (0x02|0x01) protocol bytes with the error output shortened below 80 characters + debug print bools and macros in DSM parsing forced on. I can fly that one line change on a Sentinel to look for any unexpected consequences. It'd be great to coordinate on how to get such a change merged into the dev branch and a non-debug deb to Chase.
