@Eric-Katzfey Yes the Mavlink Packets will be sent form PX4 running on the VOXL2 through the Trip Module and then to the Doodle, and vice versa for the data flow from the GCS to PX4. My understanding is that the Trip is just running a extension of Mavlink to allow for specific gimbal and camera commands. Also it is performing Video compression.

@Chase-Riley the recommended approach is to use J18 ESC port directly: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/#voxl-2-connecting-an-external-flight-controller

@Chase-Riley Since you're getting no response from lsusb or dmesg I think the best path forward is an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@Chase-Riley yes, we can work with Doodle Labs to get this resolved

@Chase-Riley Yes, as Alex said, most standard builds do not include the voxl_esc driver. Only the ModalAI products include it as a standard part of the build. So you will need to add that to you build configuration.

@Chase-Riley, i think so! You would need to delete the sensormodule for the non flipped one from /usr/lib/camera

@Chase-Riley Definitely would recommend being on 1.1.2 at this point.

@Chase-Riley this is most likely a hardware / cabling issue. Often cables are plugged in backwards or not fully seated

@James-Strawson Quick update. I was able to lower the value to 300 and it seems to work as well.

@Chase-Riley Okay, thanks for the update. I'll have to add an option to ignore the protocol byte check in the Spektrum driver then.

@Chase-Riley Nice find! Let us know how the testing goes.
