  • GPS module setup on VOXL2
    AngelAlbenizA AngelAlbeniz

    Hi,

    I'm trying to configure a VOXL2 to fly outdoors with GPS. And so far I'm struggling with the configuration of the GPS module. The GPS module I use has a Ublox-F9P chip that I have configured to do RTK, which outputs UBX protocol at a selectable baudrate. I fly this same module with this configuration, doing RTK, in a drone with VOXL Fligth and it works perfectly.

    As for the compass, I connect a stand alone mag to the i2c port. On the VOXL2 I have not yet got to work with the mag.

    In VOXL2 I connect the gps module to the GNSS TX 3P3V and GNSS RX 3P3V ports of the J19 connector. But I can't get it to work. Also I don't see px4 parameters of gps configuration like: SER_GPS1_BAUD or GPS_1_CONFIG.

    I see that in the file /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.config there is the following:

    # On M0054 the GPS and RC drivers run on SLPI DSP
    else
        if [ "$GPS" == "MATEK" ]; then
            # Use this gps start line instead for Matek Systems M8Q-5883 module
            /bin/echo "Starting Mateksys M8Q-5883 GPS"
            qshell gps start
        elif [ "$GPS" == "HERE3" ]; then
            # Use this line for the Here3 GPS module
            /bin/echo "Starting Here3 GPS"
            qshell gps start
        else
            # Only the newer Holybro unit is supported on M0054
            /bin/echo "Starting Holybro GPS"
            qshell gps start -d 7 -b 115200
    

    Does this mean that only Matek GPS, HERE 3 and Holybro can be used?

    Running flowing commands outputs:

    Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

    @modaltb Sorry for the delay in replying.

    apt-get install jq, worked and fixed the problem. I am about to update the system image.

    Many thanks.

    I was testing with a VOXL2 Dev Bundle and everything was working correctly. And in a reboot I got this error. Now it pops up all the time and I can't make use of the voxl SDK.

    How can I fix it?
