@bendraper Actually I think the message is SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED not SET_ATTITUDE

I have an external ArduPilot flight controller and when I enter Guided mode, my drone starts to descend and move as if it were given a target even though intended behavior is that it should just hold its position until given a target. Upon some digging, I think I've determined that somewhere in vision hub (version 1.8.17), the moment I enter guided mode I get a burst of SET_ATTITUDE_TARGET messages. I have open vins server turned off as well as voxl-px4 for what its worth. Any idea where and why this message may be getting sent?

It is my understanding you guys use Google Fi for your testing. How did you set up a plan. I am battling with Google support who doesn't seem to understand what I'm doing. I just got a regular SIM card on the Fi website and the ping is fine but throughput via an iperf3 test seems to be capped at 30kbps. Support says its because the sim card is only for phones and needs to be activated by a phone. What is the secret to getting a Fi sim to work on a Voxl with the SRC7611 or where did you guys get your sim(URL if you have it). Thanks!

@groupo Thanks for this! I am pretty familiar with the AT Commands I just haven't tried disabling bands yet. Will add it to me to-do list

@tom what debug info would you suggest looking for? I can see that the preferred access tech is 5g although it’s using LTE. And I can see the signal quality is ~40% which doesn’t seem great but it’s been much worse before and I can’t seem to get it above 40 anyways. I have the antennas stuck to some plastic in a diamond array

I'm using the EM9291 on an AT&T plan and I cannot get it to utilize 5G, it seems to insist upon just doing 4G LTE. Is this something other people are seeing when trying to use 5G?

@Alex-Kushleyev Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to give it a try

@tom let me know if you don't this this is possible but I think the USB-C cable I was using may have killed it. I continued dev work on another mini I had and it started to do weird things like the camera I had connected was no longer recognized and it started to get into a reboot cycle. Switched cables and that other Mini now behaves fine.

@tom

@tom My power supply also seems to indicate it is pulling nearly 0 current when powered on

@tom I never ordered a power module but I've tried with a few different supplies now all set for 3.8V.

So I have this Voxl 2 Mini that I've been doing dev stuff with for weeks and this morning it seems it stopped working. LED D1 is green the whole time but DS2 only briefly flashes green once I give it power and then it will flash every time I plug or unplug a USB from the Voxl. It is not communicating with ADB and nothing is coming up on lsusb. I ran through the QDL process but still am having this issue. Any thoughts?

What carrier did you guys do testing with for the EM9291 modem? Their product page seems to suggest all of their carrier approvals are still pending.

@Alex-Kushleyev Sounds good thanks for clarifying. Also, it looks like you can use a hybrid CQP and CBR mode per the documentation, but when I use "cbr+cqp" in the camera server conf file, it does not seem to like it. Is this feature not available yet?

I'm looking at the camera server documentation and this is saying that H265 essentially requires twice the bandwidth that H264 does. Isn't that backwards? Isn't H265 more efficient at the cost of latency? @Alex-Kushleyev

@bendraper said in streamer default h265:

@Eric-Katzfey Yea I think that functionality may be broken though. If I try to do the inverse aspect ratio, it just kinda shrinks the stream as opposed to stretching it back out

It's also seemingly fixed in the daily builds of QGC... Oh well

@Eric-Katzfey Yea I think that functionality may be broken though. If I try to do the inverse aspect ratio, it just kinda shrinks the stream as opposed to stretching it back out

@Alex-Kushleyev This is great, much appreciated! Also regarding that squished stream in QGC, seems to only be a linux thing so probably not much to do about it right now.

@Alex-Kushleyev Awesome. On a different note, do you know why ffmpeg has no issue with the aspect ratio of the stream but in QGroundControl, the stream seems to be vertically squished? I would guess ffmpeg correctly makes some assumptions about the aspect ratio that voxl-streamer doesn't outwardly declare and maybe QGC doesn't make these assumptions?

@Alex-Kushleyev Incredible, it works! Thanks Alex
