I figured it out!
I was following the gitlab page to install the cross docker, which is incorrect when using the prebuilt image from the modalai website. (https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/support/voxl-docker)
following this documentation actually works: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cross/

Hello,
I am trying to look at the messages coming from /tfite_data, however when using rostopic echo it throws the following error:
"cannot load message class for [voxl_mpa_to_ros/AiDetection]. Are your messages built?".
How can I view the messages?
Thanks.
Hi Tom,
We have accessed those servers, but we are looking to get the data in real time. Unfortunately the web servers only update these values every 20-40 seconds or so. Is there a way to get this data in real time through voxl?
Thanks,
Eli
Hello,
Is there a way to log RSSI and SNR data for the microhard modem board that is specifically contained on the voxl? Using a third party application I am able to log the information on the ground station modem, but having logs for the drones microhard as well would be extremely useful.
Thanks!
Turns out it was a bent pin in the hires port.
Re: Recieved Fatal error from camera (hires)
Hello, I am doing some testing with the cameras on a m500 with the voxl flight deck. Recently whenever I go to the portal and select multi-view, the stereo and tracking cameras show up fine but hires is blank. After a second or so the camera server crashes, and I can no longer see the feed from any cameras. I tested the same hires camera with another flight deck and it worked fine, I also switched out the mipi extension cable to one that for sure works. I also recently flashed the voxl to version 3.8, so all of the software is up to date. Attached are some log files. I am worried that something is wrong with the hires mipi port on the flight deck.
Thank you for the help! Will update this post when we are finished testing.
Re: Molex antenna placement and potential range
Hello,
I am working on a project where we are implementing the microhard technology (2.4 GHz, model pMDDL2450). We want to use the microhard radios for long range, at a maximum of 6km, or 3km for each module. Our setup consists of a master module on a flight deck add on board, a repeater module on another flight deck add on board, and one or two slave modules on carrier boards at the GCS. Is this kind of range possible with the stock antennas, and if not would upgrading to omnidirectional antennas or changing power settings have a substantial impact?
This question is similar to one posted a few months ago, but it was unanswered and our use case is a bit diffferent so I wanted to create a new post.
Thanks,
Eli

Hello,
I am trying to build the Voxl portal and the first step is to launch the voxl cross docker. I have installed the voxl docker, cross docker, and docker engine all on my ubuntu machine. (18.04.5 LTS)
When running "sudo voxl-docker -i voxl-cross", I get the following error:
"Unable to find image 'voxl-cross:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for voxl-cross, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied."
I am not sure why it is says the repository doesn't exist because I installed the voxl-cross image from the downloads page (https://downloads.modalai.com/) and it is in the voxl-docker folder.
am I doing something wrong?
thanks,
Eli
