I'm currently testing the tof v2 (IRS2975C) on Sentienl (voxl2 based) with the latest version of voxl-suite 1.2 installed. The voxl-camera-server keeps crashing, so I decided to debug it. The result is that the temperature of the tof v2 was too high, causing it to abort (you can check the captured image). When I touched the tof v2, it was indeed very hot.
Is there a solution to this issue, or did I install it incorrectly?

(+++) When I attached a thermal pad on tof v2, voxl-camera-server worked over 1 hour.

@tom Thank you. It works well

@MattK Have you ever tested the EXTRA_LONG_RANGE mode of tof v2? I am also testing VOA outdoors using tof sensor. But it was not enough for me. I tested all of the modes in v2, Extra long-range mode has less noise than other modes. Even though extra long-range mode is better than others, VOA using tof v2 makes the drone stop 2m away from obstacles.

@Viktor-Gal I am troubling localization with QVIO. So I wanted to change vio algorithm to OpenVINS. I flashed my drone to nightly version but openvins still very unstable. Could you give me some guidance for openvins?

Questions

1. openvins configuration & versions
2. Did you enable the voxl-feature-tracker?
3. camera settings (single or multi, camera model, etc)

My status

@star123 What does nightly mean? The latest version of voxl-open-vins-server or voxl-suite. Thanks.

@Vinny Thanks a lot.

@modaltb Is it able to connect a doodle radio to voxl2 with a uart port?

@modaltb Thanks a lot. It was really helpful.

Hello,

I'm going to buy Doodle radios to attach to them on the Sentinel (VOXL2) drones.
A few months ago, I got "VOXL 1 USB Expansion Board with Fastboot v2 - M0078" on the ModalAI website.
But, you aren't selling them, now. So, what boards do I purchase for the doodle-voxl2 connection?

I can find some options here.

1. VOXL 2 USB3.0 / UART Expansion Adapter (link)
2. VOXL 2 I/O Expander Board (link)
3. VOXL 2 Ethernet and USB Hub Add-on (link)

Thank you

@ggiacalone I found something. When I start echoing a topic in voxl2, that topic (echoing) shows up on my laptop. I think we need to figure out the ros2 configuration of voxl.

@ggiacalone Did you solve this problem? I have same problem on my drone and laptop.

I'm testing the tof v2 (IRS2975C) on Voxl2 and voxl-suite version is sdk-1.2.
I found that the new tof sensor has 3 range modes. I want to know the maximum range of each mode.
Can you answer about that?
Also, do these numbers set as integers mean the maximum range?
