      @Nicholas-Hansen Hmm what do you see if you run voxl-imu-server manually from the command line?

          Here is what my setup looks like with the same release.

          Can you confirm that your config file looks the same:

          voxl2-mini:/$ cat /etc/modalai/voxl-imu-server.conf 
          {
          	"imu0_enable":	true,
          	"imu0_sample_rate_hz":	1000,
          	"imu0_lp_cutoff_freq_hz":	92,
          	"imu0_rotate_common_frame":	true,
          	"imu0_fifo_poll_rate_hz":	100,
          	"aux_imu1_enable":	false,
          	"aux_imu1_bus":	1,
          	"aux_imu1_sample_rate_hz":	1000,
          	"aux_imu1_lp_cutoff_freq_hz":	92,
          	"aux_imu1_fifo_poll_rate_hz":	100,
          	"aux_imu2_enable":	false,
          	"aux_imu2_spi_bus":	14,
          	"aux_imu2_sample_rate_hz":	1000,
          	"aux_imu2_lp_cutoff_freq_hz":	92,
          	"aux_imu2_fifo_poll_rate_hz":	100,
          	"aux_imu3_enable":	false,
          	"aux_imu3_spi_bus":	5,
          	"aux_imu3_sample_rate_hz":	1000,
          	"aux_imu3_lp_cutoff_freq_hz":	92,
          	"aux_imu3_fifo_poll_rate_hz":	100
          }

            @Nicholas-Hansen Can you also provide me with the board's serial number?

            It will be on a white sticker in the format MXXXXXXXXXX

                @tom M22000006B0 is the serial number, and the output of voxl-imu-server -t is 963ed4e9-2164-46a9-93be-7e720fc358d9-image.png

                    @Nicholas-Hansen It seems as though there is a hardware issue preventing the IMU from communicating correctly.

                    Our factory test data all looks good so this failure must've occurred post shipment.

                    If you'd like, you can send this board in for an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma
