Can't arm the Sentinel Drone.
-
Hi:
I am trying to fly the Sentinel drone for the first time. In the, QGC, it is showing 'Not ready' and in the expansion of the error, I can see two things, 'Horizontal gps error is too high' and 'Obstacle avoidance is not ready'. I tried disabling gps and it shows 'Ready to fly' but the drone is not arming. Another thing I noticed, I don't have a 'voxl-px4.conf' file under /etc/modalai folder. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. -

ls /etc/modalai? Are you trying to arm in manual mode? There is a parameter namedCOM_ARM_WO_GPS. Is that set to 1? -

I was able to arm and fly it in Manual model, the 'COM_ARM_WO_GPS' parameter value is set to 1.
In fact, I want to arm it in Position mode and it still shows a warning of 'Horizontal gps error is too high' and the error 'Obstacle avoidance is not ready'. -

Obstacle avoidance is not ready
How is the parameter
COM_OBS_AVOIDset? Should be zero. -

Horizontal gps error is too high
What happens if you set the parameter
EKF2_GPS_CHECKto 1?
