Hello, I enabled openvins using the documentation here https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-open-vins-server, except the sku.txt change.

for some reason, I see in the hand testing, the z drift often, and also I continuously see [ INFO] [1770537820.961194398]: FCU: Vision Data Too Old.

How do I fix these issues?

Thanks.

@lhermosillo It was 15 with/without the GPS.

Hello,

In /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf set GPS to NONE. Then set the PX4 parameters SYS_HAS_GPS, and SYS_HAS_MAG to 0. Set EKF2_MAG_TYPE to None. Set EKF2_GPS_CTRL to 0. This is when my GPS was broken.

I was getting Preflight Fail: heading estimate not stable and Preflight Fail: Yaw estimate error

How could I fix the error? Is there any calibration or anything else that needs to be done? I was looking at QGC and yaw seemed to move smoothly when i yawed so I don't know what the issue is. /mavros/local_position/odom seems to be properly providing the drone's pose as well, at least the position and yaw.

Here is an image of when I start autonomous exploration (not flying yet) but moving it with hand, I am getting these preflight errors that I used to not get.

This is with SYS_HAS_GPS, and SYS_HAS_MAG to 1, EKF2_MAG_TYPE = Automatic, EKF2_GPS_CTRL = 7

Also, voxl-inspect-gps is saying NO GPS for fix type:

dt(ms) |fix type|Sats|Latitude(deg)|Longitude(deg)| Alt(m) |Vel(m/s)|HorErr(m)|AltErr(m)|
129.5 | NO GPS | 0 | 0.0000000 | 0.0000000 | -17.0 | 0.00 | 4294967.295 | 4092465.408 |^C

@Eric-Katzfey What about autonomous control indoors, and how could that be fixed if it's an issue? This is with a new GPS as well. Do I have to configure anything? Also, for the EKF2_GPS_CTRL, I reset to default: 7

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna said in Repair:

My Starling 2 drone crashed, and a good amount of damage was done. The PCB board was cracked, and the GPS mount was broken, and I was wondering whether I should submit a Repair Merchandise Authorization, and generally how long does the entire process take from submit an RMA to receiving the drone back?

I submitted an RMA form, but I would still like to know how long the entire process takes generally please?

@Zachary-Lowell-0 thanks.

@Eric-Katzfey Now, it arms successfully, even though it says Preflight Fail: heading estimate not stable and Preflight Fail: Yaw estimate error. Is this an issue?

@Eric-Katzfey Ok, thank you!
