You're selecting TOF+Tracking, but there is no tracking sensor installed. So the TOF_CAM_ID is probably coming out incorrect.
Do you have a tracking camera? If so, please power off and install
If not, can you please try export TOF_CAM_ID=1 ?thanks!

@Chad-Sweet
we installed tracking camera and reconfigured voxl using voxl-configure-cameraand tracking camera is working
than we tried to run tof package again but still the problem persist. we even tried to change the TOF_CAM_ID but still no change.

OK, good the tracking sensor is working. Sorry about this, the tof setup is still in beta. We clearly need to document the setup way better.
Can you please print which version of system image you are using (voxl-version)? The error implies an older system image which does not support that hal3_tof_cam_ros.
ERROR: Libcamera sending post-processed TOF data. App does NOT get RAW16 TOF camera data
The error above implies an older version of libcamera which would use tof_cam_ros instead
Just FYI, the TOF_CAM_ID needs to match what is in the launch file. This message shows what is in the launch file:
/tof/voxl_hal3_tof_cam_ros_node/camera_id: 0 -

that all looks good. Will investigate further

Okay. Looking forward to your solution asap!

Can you please type and report the output?

Assuming the ipk is installed, can you please then run this command and then try the ROS node again?
setprop persist.camera.modalai.tof 1

OK, good progress. That should be working. Can you give it a full power cycle and see if it says up?
-
I am not sure if I understood that. Can you please elaborate.
-
Unplug power from the VOXL and plug it back in. Then try the test over. You look like you're in a working state.
-
can you please explain this
setprop persist.camera.modalai.tof 1 -
It is the way for software to tell which TOF driver should be used. Setting to 1 supports the HAL3 method you are using, setting to 0 supports the older libCamera method using tof_cam_ros
The HAL3 method is intended to give the developer more control over the pipeline

@Chad-Sweet
Thanks a lot its been a great help. -
Hi @gauravshukla914 ,
Thanks for the help with this. We've released a new beta version of the
voxl-hal3-tof-cam-rosthat supports auto detection of ToF and defaults thepersist.camera.modalai.tofsetting properly.It will be in out next voxl-suite release, but is available from our dev channel here if you are interested in using this link
The updated readme is here.
Thanks!
