    • RE: cannot connect to Seeker using usb: adb devices not found

      @tom I have tried the following steps, but still adb could not find the device

      1. I can see it using lsusb | grep Qual
      ➜  work lsusb | grep Qual
      Bus 003 Device 006: ID 05c6:900e Qualcomm, Inc. QUSB__BULK
      
      ➜  work cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
      SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="900e", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="voxl%n"
      SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d00d", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="voxl-fastboot%n"
      
      
      sudo service udev restart
      
      ➜  work adb kill-server && adb start-server        
      * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
      * daemon started successfully
      
      
      1. adb still could not find the device
      ➜  work adb devices
      List of devices attached
      
      
      1. fastboot could not find it either
      ➜  work sudo fastboot device
      < waiting for any device >
      ^C
      
      
      1. just to try out, I made the SYMLINK+="voxl-fastboot%n" identical to that of SYMLINK+="voxl%n" and repeated the above steps.
      ➜  work cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules    
      SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="900e", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="voxl%n"
      SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="900e", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="voxl-fastboot%n"
      #SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d00d", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="voxl-fastboot%n"
      
      

      But adb could not recognise the device this time either.
      Is there any other way that I can use to make adb recognise the device?

    • RE: cannot connect to Seeker using usb: adb devices not found

      @Adrian-Hidalgo Thank you for the reply.
      Is it possible to switch it on without disassembling the seeker ?
      I have tried flipping the switch that you have shown in the image from outside the green cover. There was no click and sudo fastboot device was showing only < waiting for any device >.

      1. Is there any specific tool or some specific way to flip the switch ? Does it make a click when flipped ?
      2. Is it not possible to flip the switch without disassembling the device ? If so, would you let me know the tools with which I can disassmble it?
        Thank you

    • cannot connect to Seeker using usb: adb devices not found

      I was trying to write a python script to automate the image flashing (using install.sh file proveided inside voxl_platform3.8) and package installation processes.
      I stopped the process installation process before completing and after this, adb could not find the device anymore.
      Previously, adb could always find the device.

      The python script for installation:

      In [3]: p = subprocess.Popen(['./install.sh'], cwd="/home/ahmed/work/modalAI/voxl_platform_3.8.0-0.7/", s

    • RE: Change home position in Voxl-mapper

      From within a C/C++ application, you can use the pipe_client_send_control_cmd function to write a command in this format:

      I have looked for this function in the voxl-mapper gitlab master branch but was not able to find it. Has the name been changed in the latest master branch ?

      From within a python script or bash on voxl, you can simply echo/write to the control pipe yourself using the same syntax (and the pipe will be /run/mpa/plan_msgs/control).

      I have tried using voxl:~$ echo "-4.53 1.53" >> /run/mpa/plan_msgs/control (as per the plan_to: x_coord y_coord mentioned above) but there was no change in the voxl-portal.
      I also tried echo "plan_to: -4.53 1.53" >> /run/mpa/plan_msgs/control but it caused the voxl-mapper to abort. (x: -4.53 y:1.53 worked correctly when used from voxl-portal UI )

      voxl:~$ voxl-mapper

      Would you let me know the correct method to input the location programmatically (bash, python, C++ etc) ?

      BTW, voxl-mapper output when PLAN_TO_POINT in voxl-portal UI is used (voxl-portal UI method works correctly):

    • Compile and test voxl-mapper code and visualize trajectory in voxl-mapper using docker containers only ?

      I have been trying to input a sequence of goal points programmatically by changing and then compiling the voxl-mapper code, instead of using voxl-portal and then clicking by mouse.

      Currently, in order to test how my modified code is behaving, I need to use the environment inside the seeker to run voxl-mapper by ssh ing into it.

      Is it possible to use only docker container to test the changed codes of voxl-mapper and then visualize it (the goal points and the trajectories) using voxl portal?

    • RE: SLAM and voxl-mapper video details

      @modaltb @Matt-Turi Would you let me know what voxl-mapper config file you have been using to generate the map in the How a Drone Navigates Autonomously with SLAM and voxl-mapper
      youtube video?

    • voxl-portal does not show trajectory even though voxl-mapper computes it

      From the image in voxl-mapper gitlab, https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-mapper/-/raw/master/images/path_plan.png, it can be seen that voxl-portal shows the drone trajectory to the goal point.

      But while doing the same in voxl-portal v0.3.3 by means of voxl-mapper v0.1.5, no such trajectories (red and blue lines) is being shown even though the rrt calculation is being done:

      Is it happening due to the errors that occured during dependency installation (Step 1) ? How can I resolve this error?

    • Why does voxl-inspect-pose -f fail when voxl-vision-px4 -b command is executed ?

    • Are "voxl-inspect-pose -f" (ie retrieval of pose data) and "voxl-inspect-qvio" (ie retrieval of qvio data) related to cpu temperature ?

      After installing voxl platform from scratch by flashing image, I can run voxl-mapper and both voxl-inspect-qvio and voxl-inspect-pose -f produce correct outputs.

      voxl:~$ voxl-inspect-qvio

      and

      voxl:~$ voxl-inspect-pose -f
      timestamp(ms)|     Position (m)     | Roll Pitch Yaw (deg) |    Velocity (m/s)    | angular rate (deg/s) |

      Naturally, voxl-mapper also produces proper indoor map
      Screenshot from 2022-10-03 14-01-26.png

      In this case, the temperature is the following:

      1. After cooling the seeker for 1 hour, voxl-inspect-qvio shows correct outputs when drone is moved, but voxl-inspect-pose -f does not work.

      and voxl-inspect-qvio works properly when the drone is moved

      But, voxl-inspect-pose -f does not show anything

      3
      

      voxl-inspect-pose -f start working only when image is flashed and voxl platform and packages including voxl-mapper are installed from scratch.

      If temperature was the issue, would not voxl-inspect-pose -f start working, after the seeker has been cooled?
      Could you let me know why such problem is occuring?
