@Alex-Kushleyev Good afternoon Alex,

I'm currently running into issues with the voxl-mavsdk-python docker image. I've been following the documentation and README: https://docs.modalai.com/mavsdk/ https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/voxl-docker-mavsdk-python/-/tree/master?ref_type=heads

All params that are mentioned in the documentation have been updated. When adb shell in the VOXL and after running voxl-configure-docker-support.sh, gcr.io/modalai-public/voxl-mavsdk-python:v1.1 returns:

Error response from daemon: manifest for gcr.io/modalai-public/voxl-mavsdk-python:v1.1 not found: manifest unknown: Failed to fetch "v1.1" from request "/v2/modalai-public/voxl-mavsdk-python/manifests/v1.1".

:latest has also been tried with no success. When searching for similar image in Docker, the only image returned is:

 jbruell94/drone-control-modalai:vectro-drone

Within here, there are similar, but not 100% the same folders/files between the two. Has the name of the image changed or been moved to a different location?

@Alex-Kushleyev

For the esc tools, we were running the commands from /usr/share/modalai/voxl-esc-tools. To clarify, for the baud rate changes, do you want 2,000,000 or 20,000,000. We will try the tools again and confirm px4 is stopped via systemctl stop voxl-px4.

@Alex-Kushleyev

No worries. We also verified if the issue was with the particular param file and ran the command to upload a different one. No luck with that and we still receive the same error (Bus 12, ESC not detected, etc)

@Eric-Katzfey Update:

We switched some of the wires for the FTDI cable and now receiving data. We went back to following the HITL docs along with https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3511/serial-port-closed-and-other-hitl-errors/9 . We have the drone running in HITL via QGC and running the voxl-px4-hitl command. Despite this, gazebo is still not showing the drone or connecting. Could the issue possibly be with the Dockerfile that reflects bionic instead of focal since that had to be changed for the image to be pulled? We also tried running ./run-docker.sh within the directory and received docker run --help.

@Eric-Katzfey

@Eric-Katzfey Is it possible to see a picture of your terminal of the commands you sent?

@Eric-Katzfey I tried giving permission to user with no change.

@Eric-Katzfey Are you suggesting giving the file/repo permissions with

xhost si:localuser:root

Also we are using the FDTI cable provided with the ESC AND USB C to A to connect to host.

@Eric-Katzfey The latest attempts, yes. After running that and

docker run --rm -it --net=host --privileged -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /dev/input:/dev/input:rw -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro voxl-gazebo-docker ./run_gazebo.bash

gazebo will open up. The issue is connect gazebo with VOXL2 to run in HITL mode. I've followed two of the video from Modalai and Ascend exactly with no luck. Also went through the documentation again.

All instances are being ran on the host computer. When comparing the image from above to docs, we are only getting heartbeat packets.

@Vinny @brahim @Eric-Katzfey We're still running into the issue of no meaningful data being sent to gazebo. The only data is still the heartbeat packets.
We're referencing: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/

We've done the steps up to: docker run --rm -it --net=host --privileged -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /dev/input:/dev/input:rw -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro voxl-gazebo-docker ./run_gazebo.bash

and

qshell dsp_hitl status which is telling us about the heartbeat only.

Also, we tried the archived instructions to see if we would get a different output.

The FTDI cable used is the same, but the serial port closed issue has stopped. Don't know why.

The warning for SDF I feel like is the source of the problem.

The warning when running docker run --rm:

Status output:

@brahim Changing from bionic to focal lead to Docker being installed successfully. I am currently following this documentation: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/ .

The commands were ran fine:

1. wget https://storage.googleapis.com/modalai_public/modal_dockers/voxl-gazebo-docker_v1_2.tgz
2. docker load < voxl-gazebo-docker_v1_2.tgz
3. docker tag voxl-gazebo-docker:v1.2 voxl-gazebo-docker:latest

I am not using QGC because I am troubleshooting why only heartbeat packages are being sent and not GPS, Odometry, etc. voxl-px4 and qvio-server have been disabled.

In a separate terminal, voxl-px4-hitl is being ran as called for in the documentation. The main issues are gazebo seems to not give expected outputs with some of the commands and the lack of status data from dsp_hitl. I've also looked through the forum to see if anyone else had a similar problem. If you or anyone could point me in the correct direction, I would greatly appreciate that!

@brahim Thank you for getting back to me! I do not have access to the VOXL at this moment, but will be able to test first thing in the morning.

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you! What kind of timeline should I expect to hear back from you?
