    Hi ModalAI Support Team,

    I am currently working with the VOXL m500 (SKU: MRB-D0001-2-V1.1-F1-B1-C3). During flight testing, I accidentally clicked "Reset to vehicle's defaults" in the QGroundControl Parameters tab. I realized too late that this command loads the generic PX4 open-source parameters rather than the factory-tuned ModalAI parameters for the m500 frame.

    Consequently, my drone has lost its factory tuning and is now drifting and oscillating significantly in AltHold and Position modes.

    Could you please provide the official default .params file containing the factory PID tuning for this specific m500 SKU? Alternatively, what is the safest CLI command via SSH to force the VOXL board to unpack and flash its factory parameter defaults?

    Thank you for your time and assistance!

      @minhthinh The params are in our voxl-px4-params repo. For example: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-px4-params/-/blob/master/params/v1.13/Platforms/M500_FCV2.params?ref_type=heads
