RE: Am I missing prop washers
@A-Evans You're welcome, glad I could be of assistance. You do have to tighten the nuts well, but not white knuckle tight. You will feel it tighten and then give it an extra little after that.
We have been trying to source any of the nuts but they are all out-of-stock. You can check any hobby store or Amazon. If you're trying to get the lock nuts, look for the aluminium ones. There's a lot of steel ones available. You're looking for M6's -
RE: Unbricking VOXL
Oh no, sorry to hear that. Let's see what we can do to resolve that.
So as not to be redundant and streamline the process, what have you attempted already to unbrick the VOXL's?
Could you also provide further information on the board as well as what you were attempting to do before the VOXL's bricked? eg. software version, setup, camera config, computer setup, usb cables, power management, etc. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you. -
RE: x&y values zero in odometry
Seems like VIO hasn't started up, that's why x & y are zeroed out.
Try:
voxl-reset-qvio
Check to see if x & y have returned if not
Another method to try is this:
systemctl restart voxl-qvio-server

RE: Am I missing prop washers
@A-Evans the zip-lock bag has optional nuts if you wanted to mount the propellers using them instead of the conical nuts. You can use any of them.
The nylocks would be the first column to the left of the prop. They have the white nylon inside the nuts that prevent the nut from coming off. You will use a wrench or a socket to tighten these.
The second column of nuts furthest from the prop are non-locking nuts. No nylon here.
The conical nut, on the right side of the propeller, is another way to mount the propeller. No nylon here either. You will need some kind of rod to go through the hole to tighten down the nut.
You can use any of them.The washer, all the way to the left will sit on-top of the propeller to spread the load out evenly on the propeller.
To answer your question about the insert washer for the prop, what color are your motors?
If they're blue then the propellers would come with a pack of inserts, usually on the prop bag, that have different fittings that will sit inside the prop itself. Choose the one that fits the shaft snugly. We would highly suggest that once you find the insert that fits well, apply some glue to the insert and put it into the prop. This'll prevent the insert from getting lost or getting stuck on the motor shaft.
If your motors are black, then no insert is needed. The shaft diameter was changed to allow the prop to fit without needing to use the insert. -
RE: Seeker Factory Reset
I'd have to defer you to the software team can answer that specific question, but there is additional 16GB in /data partition

RE: Landing Gear Stud Size, and Motor Temperature
@Steve-Sager I can answer the first question, Passivated 18-8 Stainless Steel Philips Flat Head Screw with an 82 Degree Countersink, 10-32 Thread, 1/2" Long, Undercut. You can find them at McMaster Carr: Here or any other hardware store. We also use a locknut to hold them in place, Steel Locknut with External-Tooth Lock Washer Zinc-Plated, 10-32 Thread Size here

RE: Drone does not switch to Position mode indoors
@Umut-John hmm. One more thing to check; is there a lens cap on the tracking camera?
It does look like the camera is detected

RE: Drone does not switch to Position mode indoors
@Umut-John that's interesting. Do any of the other cameras come up in Portal?
Can you post the print out of
camera-test
Which camera config do you have on your Seeker? Does it have the TOF or Hi-Res?
You may want to try configuring the cameras.It's interesting that the tracking camera is not showing up. The Seekers are test flown and tested before shipping out.

RE: QGC Not Connecting to the Sentinel
@Raza-Rizvi are you connected over softap or station?
Can you ssh into the drone? -
RE: Drone does not switch to Position mode indoors
@Umut-John can you try restarting the voxl-vision-px4 service and qvio server?
systemctl restart voxl-vision-px4
systemctl restart voxl-qvio-server

RE: QGC Not Connecting to the Sentinel
@Raza-Rizvi can you make sure that there's no firewall setup blocking the connection.
Could you also provide the output of
systemctl status -l voxl-vision-px4

RE: Drone does not switch to Position mode indoors
@Umut-John Sorry to hear you're having troubles with one of your Seekers. Let's see what we can do to remedy that.
First off, some questions to get a baseline where we're sittin.Was any custom software loaded?
Have you configured MPA?
When I see that the Seeker doesn't go into Position mode, VIO hasn't started or didn't start properly.
Can you post the result of:voxl-inspect-services
What software are you utilizing?
voxl-version
If you look at local position ned in QGC(Q Ground Control) What does the X and Y data show? If they're zeroed out, then you will have to restart VIO. To get to local position ned, open QGC, navigate to analyze, mavlink inspector, local position ned.

Can you connect through ssh? Can follow here -
RE: High resolution camera out of focus
@andrespalomino if the lens is really loose, then the lens could loose focus as it gets rattled with vibes.
Verifying that below is your camera:
When you state that you can get the focus good on the ground but when flying looses the focus, do you mean you can see it gradually getting worse over time or all of a sudden? How far are you viewing the feed? Also, how high are you flying? Do you see a difference when you are closer to objects or lower to the ground? -
RE: Sentinel (VOXL2) not booting/not flashing
@Andre-Moura ok, thanks. Are the LED's solid or are they flashing on and off every four or five seconds?
Another method that would be worth trying would be to plug both power and usb(in that order), run the install script and hold down the SW1 switch for 25 seconds(should see the LED's flash signifying reboot) -
RE: Sentinel (VOXL2) not booting/not flashing
@Andre-Moura Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Thank you for posting the info and what you've already tried.
How was the drone powered? By a battery or power supply? We have seen a few issues with the power supply. Main concern is arming the drone with it.
For the drone to get into QDL mode, the Voxl somehow got bricked or a power issue. Was any software running before de-powering the drone?
