Sentinel HITL
-
Will these instructions work for a sentinel dev drone?
https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/
Is the J18 port exposed? Specifically for sentinels with the mircohard carrier board add on
Also, does modalai sell the FTDI cable I would need to run HITL?
Thanks

@jmltt Yes, those instructions will work. But getting access to that UART is probably the most challenging part. I would purchase one of these: https://www.sparkfun.com/usb-to-ttl-serial-cable.html (or equivalent 3.3V cable) and this adapter https://www.sparkfun.com/breadboard-to-jst-ghr-04v-cable-4-pin-x-1-25mm-pitch.html. That combination has been working well for me.
