Urgent Assistance Needed: Voxl2 and portal access issue in my starling 2 modalai drone
-
HI @all
I have starling 2 Modalai drone, and I am experiencing an issue with my Starling 2 Modalai drone (Voxl2).
I mistakenly removed the ROS Foxy installation from /opt/ros using rm -rf foxy and subsequently tried to reinstalled ROS2 Foxy following this guide https://github.com/jetsonhacks/installROS2.Then after rebooting the drone, I can initially access Voxl2 via adb shell for about two minutes. However, it then reverts to my PC shell, and subsequent attempts to connect (via adb shell or adb devices) yield no devices/emulators found. Additionally, I cannot access the Voxl portal. I have also switched the device to station mode for Wi-Fi access.
If I wait approximately 30 minutes by turning off the drone, it works and I am able to access the voxl2 shell but the issue recurs after two minutes.
Could someone please advise on how to resolve this problem as soon as possible?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @muhammad-kazim-0 ,
Please try to re-install the VOXL2 sdk. Since you can ADB into the device now, you can check which version of SDK you are running and then download the full SDK of the same version and install it (run
voxl-version
to check which sdk you are currently running). More information about SDK and installation is here : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-suite/If you are installing SDK 1.4.0, please take a look at the known issue with voxl-portal (and fix mentioned in another forum post) : https://docs.modalai.com/sdk-1.4-release-notes/#sdk-140-known-issues
Once you re-install the SDK, it should get your VOXL2 to more or less original state.
Also, how are you powering your Starling 2 for this test? It is possible that your power supply cannot provide enough current. Does the same issue happen when you are connected to a battery that came with Starling 2?

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for your response, it was the issue with the battery, May be my battery is damaged, when I provide external power source of 12 volt power supply, then it is working perfectly fine. Now I am able to access the portal and voxl2 as well. thank you
