Drone losing position / crashing in Offboard mode

Eric Katzfey · 11 Jun 2024, 15:29

@Jetson-Nano I'm not sure why it would do that on Cube Orange. It almost seems like it is doing RTL instead of starting the figure eight. The Starling is running our fork of PX4, not standard PX4. You could build our fork and try it on the Cube Orange to see if that makes a difference.

Jetson Nano · 17 Jun 2024, 05:03

@Eric-Katzfey Can I download the PX4 which is built for VOXL and upload it in Cube?

Eric Katzfey · 17 Jun 2024, 14:29

@Jetson-Nano No, you would need to download the source and build it yourself.

Jetson Nano · 17 Jun 2024, 17:49

@Eric-Katzfey I tried using the modalai forked repo in the cube and this is the outcome, when I switch to offboard it is still going to home but not like crashing how it was previously, but goes near home and hovers very close to the ground, and I get autopilot disengaged and switches to land mode and lands.

Eric Katzfey · 17 Jun 2024, 18:09

@Jetson-Nano Interesting. Can you share the log from that flight?

Jetson Nano · 18 Jun 2024, 08:47

Hey @Eric-Katzfey, here are the logs for the flight test.

https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=9b6a7c2c-2bf4-43f7-8182-ac3efe2b4655

In this flight test, I set the offboard mode to trajectory and did the flight test

https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=65f0b03a-11a5-409e-b2ca-1fe2a36cc088

In this flight test, I changed the offboard mode to figure_eight and still the result is same, it goes very close to ground at 0,0,0 and hovers there.

Eric Katzfey · 18 Jun 2024, 18:05

@Jetson-Nano I'm guessing that you don't have an odometry mavlink stream setup so the Cube Orange isn't sending out vehicle odometry mavlink packets that the offboard mode needs.

Jetson Nano · 19 Jun 2024, 06:20

@Eric-Katzfey How do I setup that?

Eric Katzfey · 19 Jun 2024, 14:55

@Jetson-Nano I would recommend reading through the PX4 documentataion on Mavlink messaging. It discusses how to enable streams. https://docs.px4.io/v1.14/en/middleware/mavlink.html

Jetson Nano · 19 Jun 2024, 14:56

Thank you @Eric-Katzfey , I'll check and get back if needed anything.

Eric Katzfey · 19 Jun 2024, 15:28

@Jetson-Nano The command would be something like mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -u 14556 and would be added to one of the startup files.

Jetson Nano · 24 Jun 2024, 05:37

@Eric-Katzfey The documentation explains how to send custom mavlink messages, but odometry is not a custom message and isn't it streamed by default in your forked PX4?

Eric Katzfey · 24 Jun 2024, 15:46

@Jetson-Nano The command is the same regardless of whether the message is custom or not. Another thing you can do is enable some of the debug flags available with voxl-vision-hub to see things like which mavlink messages it is receiving and which mavlink messages it is sending out. There are a variety of flags to choose from and that would help to figure out what is going wrong.

Jetson Nano · 25 Jun 2024, 06:52

@Eric-Katzfey This is what I am getting when I run vision hub with debug

voxl_visionion-hub -d

@Eric-Katzfey when I do

voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

I am getting

and in mavlink console when I stream Odometry message as you said I am getting no output

when I used -d instead of -u it shows device not running. I tried with different ports

Jetson Nano · 26 Jun 2024, 07:29

Hey @Eric-Katzfey , I think I solved it. I got the odometry stream to VOXL2 from Cube. I had to run

mavlink stream -r 30 -s ODOMETRY -d /dev/ttyS0

after this I got odometry stream on the

voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard

Eric Katzfey · 26 Jun 2024, 15:13

@Jetson-Nano Great! And is that now allowing you to run the figure 8?

Jetson Nano · 2 Jul 2024, 04:51

@Eric-Katzfey I haven't done the flight test. I'll do the flight test and get back to you.

Jetson Nano · 2 Jul 2024, 04:51

@Eric-Katzfey , I did the flight test and it works fine. Thank you.

But there is a problem, when I am checked 1st time it worked fine, later after a reboot and once again I ran the Mavlink Odometry stream, the terminal was lagging. The terminal with the output of voxl-inspect-mavlink mavlink_onboard this is lagging. The Odometry Hz was somewhere around 5 - 10, all the output in the terminal was lagging, so I though it was some WiFi issue and again tested offboard mode, but this time the drone went back to home.

So I rebooted the system and again ran the mavlink stream and waited for sometime until the lag in the voxl terminal is not there anymore, then when I tested offboard it was fine. I tried both figure eight and trajectory, both worked fine. I will attach the logs, can you please tell what might have caused the lag?

And I have one more question @Eric-Katzfey , I have to start the mavlink stream everytime. Is there a way to start the mavlink stream as soon the system is powered on?
