    • RE: 5G Modem - Voxl-modem ERROR can not ready GPIOs

      Can you share a picture of your setup? Is the Quectel RM502Q-AE installed?

    • RE: Quantification of QVIO performance compared to other options

      We have not done a direct comparison. In general though, all of those systems typically achieve 1-1.5% drift over distance which is something we see pretty consistently with the qvio-server

      You can set the resolution of the preview stream in /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf

    • RE: Voxl - Snapdragon model and supported camera configurations

      Your understanding is correct, ModalAI's supported configurations are a result of Qualcomm limitations

    • RE: ERROR: failed to start modalai vision lib

      It would have shipped with everything tested and working. What do you mean by "passed the wizard"?

    • RE: m500 cannot hovering with VIO algorithm

      The system was tested in VIO mode for 20 minutes before shipping. All drones are very sensitive to frame modifications, so this needs to be done carefully

      • Were you able to fly successfully before frame modifications?
      • How well does it fly manually? Have you looked at the logs in manual.mode for vibration?
      • Can you please share a log of the VIO output?
      • If you reset all of the software, you may need to recalibrate the cameras
      • It looks like there are loose parts hanging off of the drone. VIO is VERY sensitive to vibration. Can you revert your frame modifications and try again?

    • RE: Using Sentinel Drone with IntelRealSense Depth Camera D435

      @Jgaucin you can use voxl-portal to view the output of all of the image sensors on the drone. The Sentinel has forward and rearward stereo depth pre-calibrated and tested in the factory

      this might also be useful

    • RE: Unbricking fails due to "protocol error"

      Are you flipping the fastboot switch back? Your symptom is consistent with leaving the fastboot switch engaged instead of setting it back to normal after a few seconds

      Might be worth watching the tutorial here if you're unsure

    • RE: stereo camera down

      We do not have a thermal option available today, though the Flir Boson and Lepton have been integrated by customers in the past using USB

      Stereo cameras need to be co-planar and mounted rigidly. Then they need to be calibrated. Otherwise you should be able to mount wherever convenient

      Hi Erik, thanks for pointing that out. It was a mistake, it has now been fixed as there are no CH-201 sensors

    • RE: VIO/VOA with ArduCopter

      @MattK The VOXL SDK is common between VOXL CAM, VOXL 1 and VOXL 2, so the same messages will be sent in the same manner between VOXL and the flight controller over mavlink

    • RE: Help with Voxl2 PID Tune problem

      @bensusana which version of px4 are you running? PX4 changed the px4io protocol in 1.14 and that board will no longer work correctly. You should connect your csrf receiver directly to VOXL 2 if using PX4 1.14

      @tiralonghipol yes, the ToF is rotated per the extrinsics. You will need to modify your urdf to match
