Question, Is it possible to connect a MIPI cable to the top of a Voxl2 using some of the pins in J5 or J3? So we don't have to touch Kernel stuff but can still use a MIPI camera through Linux if we create the driver.
Thank you for your time,
Aaron Porter
I am following this guide: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-firmware/
I am trying to install the firmware using STLink
as for the bootl oader it is a ModalAI bootloader already installed I assume based on the blue LED light flash, so it is not a legacy board
I am trying to flash the firmware to the VOXL2 IO board but I am getting an issue using OpenOCD. It seems like the version has changed since the documentation was created.
+ FIRMWARE_FILE=/.../Downloads/m0065_firmware.bin
+ sudo openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f1x.cfg -c 'adapter speed 4000' -c init -c 'sleep 100' -c 'reset halt' -c 'sleep 500' -c 'flash write_image erase /.../Downloads/m0065_firmware.bin 0x08001C00' -c 'reset run' -c exit

Info : auto-selecting first available session transport "hla_swd". To override use 'transport select <transport>'.
Info : The selected transport took over low-level target control. The results might differ compared to plain JTAG/SWD

I am on a Linux computer and installed OpenOCD using just apt-get install openocd. I have the ST-Link connect like the diagram shows. And the ST-Link is connected to my computer via USB.
So Honestly I am lost to as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
The Problem:
So we recently ran into an issue where the Actuator Tab in QGroundControl wanted us to Identify and assign the motors for the starling. We tried using voxl-configure-mpa with the sku set to starling. Still we were not able to spin the motors.
The Solution:
We were able to resolve the issue my installing a new version of the SDK onto the starling which resolved the issue we were having.
Hope this helps
Hello,
I am trying to get the VIO Quality on the drone below to be higher than 20% when flying. I am using voxl-inspect-qvio to see the quality in real time while I am moving it manually.
In the beginning when the drone first starts up the quality is good at or around 100%, I can move the drone forward and I see x increasing, move left and y decreases, moving up the z value decreases. Once I start moving the drone the quality drops to 20% and will occasionally restart. I was looking at the documentation post here for troubleshooting VIO issues. I checked the IMU_APPS and saw only green values even when I jostled it a bit. I thought that the light from the lidar that I had behind it was causing some lighting issues so I removed it. Still having the same issue.
I tried getting the extrinsic file values as close to the correct offset values that I can for the tracking camera. The only thing that I can see that Might be an issue is that the camera is not pointed completely straight. But if that is not the issue then I don't really know what else to look at to fix the quality drop.
Thanks,
-Aaron
@Aaron-Porter So I made a mistake that the IMU-server was not running during my screen shots. But I figured out the issue. Yo can use the starling file you have to run the command,
voxl-configure-qvio factory_enable_imu_apps
This will tell qvio-server to look for imu_apps instead of imu0.
Hello
I have a question about the VOXL2 mini's extrinsics file and using voxl-qvio-server. I reinstalled the VOXL2 mini SDK 1.0 on to the VOXL2 mini. The extrinsics file has the values for IMU0 and IMU1. When I check voxl-inspect-services, I can see that voxl-imu-server is running.
However voxl-qvio-server is reporting an error when I look at the page using voxl-portal. The error is that IMU_MISSING. I know on the VOXL2 the IMUs are separated as IMU_APP and IMU_PX4. So I tried switching the extrinsics file to the Starling_V2 but then IMU Server is reporting an error.
How can I fix this?
Thank you,
Aaron Porter
So this is the correct functionality, and that the Data is updated relative to the IMU and not to the Body of the Drone.
Hello,
Quick Question, if I wanted to connect two USB devices to the VOXL2, would I use the High-Speed pins on the J13 port for one USB device, then use the Super-speed pins for the second USB device would that be possible.
Thank you,
Aaron Porter
