@jonathankampia Just to respond to my own post here in case anyone else has the same question: It does work! We hooked up a VL53L0X rangefinder to the QUP3 i2c ports in the J19 connector and were able to start the driver with no issues by adding the start command to the voxl-px4.conf file. Interestingly, you have to modify both the EKF2_HGT_REF parameter and a specific rangefinder priority parameter that controls whether rangefinder sensor fusion is enabled at all times or just conditionally. If it's just enabled conditionally, the rangefinder data does not fuse into the EKF2 local position estimator.

M0201 gimbal passthrough pinoutposted in Ask your questions right here!
Hi, what is the order of the pins for the i2c passthrough on the M0201 board? Assuming something like 5V - SCL - SDA - X - X - GND, but would just like to ask to make sure. I don't believe it's documented anywhere either

RE: how to access tflite_data published by voxl_mpa_to_ros from local machine?posted in Ask your questions right here!
@aashry Follow this link: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-mpa-to-ros. Catkin_ws -> src -> msg and you will find AiDetection.msg, which you can use to build a ros custom message package (ROS has a tutorial on it I believe). You can do that in whatever workspace you are working in in your docker container. Once that is built and you source devel/setup.bash, you should be able to echo the topic and if you want to subscribe to it in a node you will need to import the message header similarly to any other message type

voxl 2 external rangefinder compatibilityposted in Ask your questions right here!
I am trying to find the best solution for minimizing altitude drift during low altitude outdoor VIO navigation. I have read this documentation about VL53L1X rangefinders, but I really would prefer not having to set this up as it would require modifying our drones to accommodate the tracking & hires cameras specific to the kits that come with the M0173 board.
Is it possible to connect a VL53L1X rangefinder to port J19 and interact with the sensor through the px4 firmware? Looking through the voxl branched 1.14 firmware there seems to be drivers for the VL53L1X sensor. I know it's not possible to use voxl-rangefinder-server through J19 as the page I linked says, but I see no reason I can't use the port through px4 itself.
Also, would the process (if possible) simply be:
- Connect the VL53L1X sensor
- Assuming the sensor connects properly, modify EKF2_HGT_REF to prioritize rangefinder
Or are there any intermediate steps? I am not really sure if these drivers run automatically or if you have to enable them via certain parameters. For example, SENS_EN_VL53L1X, which should enable the driver on boot, is not visible by default.
Thanks!

@Gary-Holmgren Haha your way is a little more robust than mine. I just manually added the qshell start command to the extra commands section of the voxl-px4.conf file.

RE: [Starling2Max] Unable to take off due to no valid local position estimateposted in Ask your questions right here!
@Yoshimaru-Tanaka Hey idk if this will solve your problem but to setup my starling I used the parameters from (I believe) the indoor_vio.params file here. You just go to the parameters section of QGroundControl and click upload from file, then select that file - it will show you exactly which parameters are going to change. They are also helpful if you are flip flopping between flying indoors and outside.

RE: Need Help Connecting To My Platformposted in Ask your questions right here!
@Colby-Howell You can save camera data onboard using voxl-logger, but it will take up a lot of storage very quickly and the voxl2 has < 64gb so be careful with that. If you're not trying to save raw frames and are okay with compression & artifacts you can stream it to a ground computer with voxl-streamer and save it there
For connecting to the drone the easiest (especially cause you don't have a ground radio) is wifi, you can just connect your drone to a somewhat powerful router, set a static IP and ssh in.
For autonomous navigation, the best way in my opinion is to talk to voxl-px4 through the uxrce-dds bridge (implemented on the voxl2 as voxl-microdds-agent) https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds

voxl-slpi-uart-bridgeposted in Ask your questions right here!
Hi, I am looking at the voxl-slpi-uart-bridge https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/core-libs/voxl-slpi-uart-bridge repo. Would this be capable of making one of the J19 uarts available to the apps processor for external sensor connection (not running voxl-px4)?
Specifically using voxl2 mini
I also have some questions about how to use it. Is it an executable you run that creates a virtual uart interface? Or a library that you reference in code. If so, is there a short implementation example anywhere?
Thank you!

RE: voxl-px4 startup failure - parameter_client_set_value timeoutposted in Ask your questions right here!
@Eric-Katzfey I was running voxl-px4 in daemonless mode so I could see my driver output:
voxl-px4 -dAnd restarting it by terminating with Ctrl+C (probably not the best haha). That makes sense though, I'll try that.

Hi! Problem statement: want to connect external FCU to voxl and communicate over the microdds bridge for minimal latency. In the past, I have tried to compile the uxrce-dds agent from source https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds but never really dove into trying to fix all the issues. I assume this is a problem you guys fixed with voxl-microdds-agent; is it possible to modify that package to communicate with an external flight controller over UART?
Other option would be docker, which I've done before, but that incurs some overhead and we're kinda maxing out the voxl, so I would prefer a native implementation.
I guess I'm just asking if this is feasible within the design of voxl-microdds-agent or if it's tailored to communicating with voxl-px4 over shared memory.

voxl-logger seg fault on shutdownposted in Ask your questions right here!
Hi, in order to log a lot of different configurable data & cleanly parse the output, I wrote a python wrapper that calls voxl-logger as a subprocess and terminates it by sending a SIGINT (emulating user ctrl+c).
This issue only happens sometimes, maybe 30% of the time or something. I don't recall ever seeing it when starting voxl-logger natively in the terminal.
Running: stdbuf -oL -eL voxl-logger -c hires_small_color -i imu_apps -i imu_vectornav -B baro_vectornav -g gnss1_vectornav -I ins_vectornav Welcome to voxl-logger 58127 MB left in /data/voxl-logger/ starting new log: /data/voxl-logger/log0044/ connected to ch 0 /run/mpa/hires_small_color/ connected to ch 1 /run/mpa/imu_apps/ ^C Stopping... received SIGINT Ctrl-C WARNING, _stop_helper_and_remove_pipe timed out joining read thread Segmentation fault: Fault thread: voxl-logger(tid: 26766) Fault address: 0x7f9d719010 Address not mapped.The main issue is that when this happens it fails to print the logger summary (channels & messages logged) which is important for me to quickly analyze the validity of the logged data. Also we've had issues with the logger not shutting down gracefully and only partially populating the final row of the csv it was writing to.
Do you guys have any idea why this might be happening? I would much prefer the logger to exit consistently and gracefully.
Thanks!

voxl-px4 time sourceposted in Ask your questions right here!
Do the apps and slpi processors share the same clock? I intend to publish external vio data to voxl-px4, and I'm wondering how it should be timestamped to properly ingest into the EKF2 module. Right now I am timestamping things on the apps side using the monotonic clock (same as voxl-camera-server and voxl-imu-server).

RE: Need Help Connecting To My Platformposted in Ask your questions right here!
@Colby-Howell You can save camera data onboard using voxl-logger, but it will take up a lot of storage very quickly and the voxl2 has < 64gb so be careful with that. If you're not trying to save raw frames and are okay with compression & artifacts you can stream it to a ground computer with voxl-streamer and save it there
For connecting to the drone the easiest (especially cause you don't have a ground radio) is wifi, you can just connect your drone to a somewhat powerful router, set a static IP and ssh in.
For autonomous navigation, the best way in my opinion is to talk to voxl-px4 through the uxrce-dds bridge (implemented on the voxl2 as voxl-microdds-agent) https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds

RE: voxl2_io direct command pwm on channel 5posted in Ask your questions right here!
@Alex-Kushleyev Hey thanks for the quick reply,
It's kind of hard to explain but eventually this system will be flown, and I'll need pretty extensive control over what's happening on the px4 side so I'm kind of using this as an exercise to understand how things work. Also trying to keep the hardware consistent with what will fly.
I do want to run voxl-px4 so I can pipe data into EKF2 and see how it responds under certain conditions. Right now we have a standard voxl2 with the ethernet expansion board, and are using the J9 uart for connecting an external sensor, and the J11 superspeed USB for datalogging. Unfortunately I believe this leaves us with no apps proc uarts available, so interacting with it on the SLPI side is the only option.
I'll mess around with other VehicleCommand messages and see if I can get something to show up on the px4 side
