    hi,

    I know it has been asked several times and I already went through all the answers (I think). Still cannot figure out what am I doing wrong.

    I am trying to run HITL with gazebo connected via usb-ftdi as reported in the awesome documentation. I know it is not the cable cause I can both 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' and get data and when I run

    gazebo Tools/simulation/gazebo-classic/sitl_gazebo-classic/worlds/hitl_iris_flex.world 
    Opened serial device /dev/ttyUSB0
    
    

    I of course followed the video from Zach but here is the output when I run voxl-px4-hitl on voxl2:

    the only thing I find suspicious about this is:

    any hint on what could be wrong?

      the only thing I find suspicious about this is:

      any hint on what could be wrong?

      thank you,

      @tiralonghipol can you please share the version of software you are using as well as a picture of your setup (specifically the wiring)?

        hi,

        I know it has been asked several times and I already went through all the answers (I think). Still cannot figure out what am I doing wrong.

        I am trying to run HITL with gazebo connected via usb-ftdi as reported in the awesome documentation. I know it is not the cable cause I can both 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' and get data and when I run

        gazebo Tools/simulation/gazebo-classic/sitl_gazebo-classic/worlds/hitl_iris_flex.world 
        Opened serial device /dev/ttyUSB0
        
        

        I of course followed the video from Zach but here is the output when I run voxl-px4-hitl on voxl2:

        any hint on what could be wrong?

        @tiralonghipol said in HITL Starling/Voxl2:

        Port is open

        That isn't actually an error. It was only output as an error to make it stand out. It's really just an indication that the serial port was opened successfully. We should probably change that to a regular info message instead of an error report.

          this cable I'm using also has visual feedback on rx/tx with a green/red led
          I then suspect it is not a wiring issue but of course I might be wrong

            hi,

            I know it has been asked several times and I already went through all the answers (I think). Still cannot figure out what am I doing wrong.

            I am trying to run HITL with gazebo connected via usb-ftdi as reported in the awesome documentation. I know it is not the cable cause I can both 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' and get data and when I run

            gazebo Tools/simulation/gazebo-classic/sitl_gazebo-classic/worlds/hitl_iris_flex.world 
            Opened serial device /dev/ttyUSB0
            
            

            I of course followed the video from Zach but here is the output when I run voxl-px4-hitl on voxl2:

            This part is telling us that there is no accelerometer, gyro, or barometer data. This is the data that is supposed to come in from gazebo over the serial link. So there is something wrong with that data transfer. Could be a cable issue of some type. At the px4 console what do you get when you enter qshell dsp_hitl status?

                @tiralonghipol Yeah, so that status tells us that it isn't getting any data over the serial port. So we need to figure out why not. In your first post you show that you start gazebo with:

                @tiralonghipol said in HITL Starling/Voxl2:

                gazebo Tools/simulation/gazebo-classic/sitl_gazebo-classic/worlds/hitl_iris_flex.world

                Was that a typo? It should be hitl_iris.world not hitl_iris_flex.world. I'm not sure if that would cause a problem or not. Do you have a way to diagnose the serial cable? Can you reverse the tx and rx pins and see if that changes things? Can you look at the output of the cable tx line with an oscilloscope to see if you can detect data being sent by gazebo?

                  @tiralonghipol You shouldn't have to start dsp_hitl. If you start px4 with the voxl-px4-hitl command then it will be started automatically.
