Starling 2 flying into ceiling
-
Hello ModalAI Team,
I have a Starling 2 drone:
system-image: 1.8.02-M0054-14.1a-perf
kernel: #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 24 22:31:58 UTC 2025 4.19.125
hw platform: M0054
mach.var: 1.0.1
SKU: MRB-D0014-4-V1-C27-T8-M22-X0
voxl-suite: 1.4.5Services:
When using the navigation of the Mapper, after plotting a location like this short route with no obstacles:
The drone flies up into the ceiling. The position mode works well though it can drift upwards some. The drone can run the figure 8 without any issue. So far, I am not sure what the issue with the navigation once the Mapper create the route. It am afraid the drone with break itself or something else in the room. I can attempt to send videos of the fly if they would be helpful.

@tom Thank you for the assistance on the previous topic. Is there a best way to diagnosis the navigation? The path appears fine, but the drone few straight upward into the ceiling before falling and breaking one of main battery clips next to the LED board.

Hello. Just checking to see if there is any more data I can provide to help determine the issue. Is there some configuration that allows the drone to fly in the figure-8 without issue but not navigate within the map that has been generated?

Hello. Checking in again if assistance can be provided and/or if more information is needed.

@greg_s Hi there, can you post these 2 files from your drone:
/etc/modalai/voxl-vision-hub.conf /etc/modalai/voxl-open-vins-server.confOne thing from your screenshot is I sort of see the drone's position and the trajectory planned. For example as in this screenshot, the drone's xyz position should be visible (xyz axes) and a trajectory (black & red lines) should be displayed before executing a trajectory. The drone should be moving in realtime hovering in position. If it's static the vio was likely lost.
