@bendraper One idea I had is to change the bands of the modem so that it will only search for signals on specific 5G bands. I did this with my modem for LTE B3 through the use at AT commands. I linked a post where I provided a way to use these commands on the drone

https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3738/monitor-sierra-wireless-5g-signal/11

I would go to Sierra Wireless website and download the AT command reference guide to understand how to use them. there are probably some other commands that could help you too, but the BAND one sticks out to me. Sierra also has a really good forum I would recommend.

@tom , this is the 3rd/4th I've linked the AT commands post to forum users. Is there any expected AT command support for the EM9291 like with previous modems? It is a functional workaround, but could save people a lot of time/trouble if it was available upfront. It really 'unlocks' the modem for more configurability, don't you think?

@bendraper Mini can get power via USB so it's not out of the question

@bendraper We use Google Fi data SIMs for all of our testing

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

I want to add that M0125 is no longer being manufactured and we use M0151 as a direct substitute going forward. I'll try to have our product folks clarify the website for that.

@Vinny Extremely useful. Thanks Vinny!

After having some issues with a static IP on the VOXL2 Mini above it ended up being an issue with being on the wrong subnet for the host computer to communicate.

We ended up fixing the issue by changing the subnet for the host computer once we changed the IP on the VOXL2 Mini.

e.g VOXL2 Mini IP of 192.168.144.15 will require a host computer on the same subnet e.g. 192.168.144.98.

@Vinny Thanks Vinny for looking into this! I'm going to do some bench tests knowing this and will let you know how it goes!

@Vinny Thanks for this info this is super helpful. I 100% agree about the last thing you said and if I can use the ModalAI power adapter then I definitely will. I got the 7.4V spec by assuming nominal 2S battery voltage to nominal 6S, which was probably a bad assumption. Even so, a 2S battery from dead to full charge is typically 6.4V to 8.4V so I figured 5V input was probably not sufficient for the power module as it was not in the range of 2S to 6S. Seems like this may not be the case though which is excellent

@bendraper Yes, definitely

I tried on a different voxl2 with voxl-suite: 1.2.0 installed
the other one had voxl-suite 1.1.3 installed.

Not sure if that makes a difference....or if the configuration of the voxl2 was different.....

Either way if you are facing the same issue try SDK 1.2.0

Are static IPs over Ethernet supported?

@tom Hey Tom. So I tried doing it in WSL but I can only get as far as this screen

After hitting that last prompt, it just hangs there indefinitely. Obviously since you haven't tried this method I don't expect there to be a solution, but I was wondering if this is a symptom of something you've seen before that may help in debugging further. If I cancel the flash the Voxl does not get bricked and I can use it as normal on the old SDK. There's also no LED indicators that may suggest its getting flash and obviously no visual indicators in the console that it's getting flashed so I don't think its getting very far in the flash process.

Hi @bendraper ,
Sorry for the confusion, we can make that clearer.
It's trying to say that you can connect peripheral devices to Voxl2.
So, maybe Instead of
"Use this board to integrate USB 3 peripheral devices..."
we can change it to say
"Use this board to connect USB 3 peripheral devices..."
Would that help in your opinion?
Thanks and apologies if that created confusion.

@Chad-Sweet That seems to have done the trick! Thanks

@bendraper in other words, what factors/scripts affect the generation of that conf file?
