      @Eric-Katzfey This is what i have when I do what you did above. I add the hostapd into the directory and copied the hostapd.conf into the hostapd directory.

    • Qualcomm RB5 - Remote ID

      Good afternoon, I have been trying to get the remote ID to work on RB5. I followed the steps in the technical document, and everything was working well until I had to check voxl-remote-id status. I end up getting something like this which is in the technical document. My device is already in SoftAP mode.

    • Connect to 5G Drone Without Cellular Connection on Host Laptop?

      The user guide for the Qualcomm Flight RB5 states that to connect the host laptop running QGC to the drone, while it is on the 5G network, you need to also connect the host laptop to a cellular network.

      I don't understand why this is the case. If both the host laptop and the drone are connected to a VPN service, is it not possible to control the drone while it is on the 5G network from a laptop that is connected to a standard Wi-Fi network?

      Is there not a way to control the drone when the laptop is on Wi-Fi but the drone is on a cellular network?

    • RE: Where to find 5G modem setup instructions for Qualcomm Flight RB5 running VOXL?

      @doe43john77 Update: There is a program called voxl-configure-modem. All that needs to be done is select some options regarding the manufacturer of the 5G modem as well as the provider the SIM card is provisioned on.

    • Where to find 5G modem setup instructions for Qualcomm Flight RB5 running VOXL?

      The instructions for setting up 5G on the RB5 user guide are for the deprecated RB5 Flight SDK. Does anyone know where I can find instructions for setting up 5G using VOXL?

      @tom I have enabled and started running the voxl-mavlink-server service but only been able to enable (but not start) the voxl-vision-px4 service. I've included a more detailed output voxl-vision-px4 service by running systemctl status voxl-vision-px4 -l:

      Also, I tried modifying the voxl-vision-px4.conf file with the IP address of my host machine with QGC in case the voxl-vision-px4 service needs the IP address for proper startup, but that didn't help.

      Additionally, I saw the word "extrinsics" in the systemctl output and I was curious if it was referring to the opencv files we had to backup before the upgrading the SDK (which I did btw).

    • RE: Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Camera Setup

      @tom Hi Tom. I updated the firmware of the RB5 to the VOXL 0.9.5 SDK. The update went smoothly. I'm trying to connect the drone to QGroundControl but I'm not having luck. I think I've covered all my bases: the host PC and drone are on the same Wi-Fi network, the drone's voxl-px4 service is running (as confirmed by using the voxl-inspect-services command). Suggestions?

    • Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Camera Setup

      Hi,

      I'm attempting to setup the hi-res camera on the Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G (RB5).
      So far, I've been following the docs for the Qualcomm Flight RB5 SDK, available here.


      Note: I understand that as of July 2022, the RB5 has integrated the VOXL SDK
      into its firmware, replacing the old RB5 SDK. When I first began setting up the
      RB5 and trying to connect it to QGroundControl (QGC), I performed this firware
      update. In the process of troubleshooting the connection process, I was looking
      through some systemd error messages which said that I was missing some
      packages which happened to belong to the old RB5 SDK. I ended up reinstalling
      the old firmware. The whole process of connecting to QGC took 2 weeks, so I'd
      like to avoid a firmware update to VOXL if possible.


      My first step was to configure the rb5-camera-server service via the adb
      shell to run on startup using the rb5-camera-server-configure command. After
      running this, I checked to see if the services were running for cameras 0, 1, 2
      , 4 and 5. Here is the output:

      • Cameras 0, 1, 2 and 5 have similar outputs where the say there is an unknown
        "lvalue" in the systemd configuration file (which I never touched):
      ● rb5-camera-server@0.service - "rb5-camera-server-0"
         Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/rb5-camera-server; indirect; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-06-08 15:35:49 UTC; 34s ago
       Main PID: 2197 (rb5-camera-serv)
          Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)
         CGroup: /system.slice/system-rb5\x2dcamera\x2dserver.slice/rb5-camera-server@0.service
                 └─2197 /usr/bin/rb5-camera-server -c 0
      
      Jun 08 15:35:48 m0052 systemd[1]: Starting "rb5-camera-server-0"...
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 systemd[1]: Started "rb5-camera-server-0".
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 rb5-camera-server[2197]: gbm_create_device(156): Info: backend name is: msm_drm
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/rb5-camera-server@.service:12: Unknown lvalue 'After' in section 'Service'
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/rb5-camera-server@.service:13: Unknown lvalue 'Requires' in section 'Service'
      
      • Camera 4, on the other hand, gives the following output which follows the
        example in the docs:
      ● rb5-camera-server@4.service - "rb5-camera-server-4"
         Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/rb5-camera-server; indirect; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-06-08 15:35:50 UTC; 15min ago
        Process: 2219 ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 1 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
       Main PID: 2224 (rb5-camera-serv)
          Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)
         CGroup: /system.slice/system-rb5\x2dcamera\x2dserver.slice/rb5-camera-server@4.service
                 └─2224 /usr/bin/rb5-camera-server -c 4
      
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 systemd[1]: Starting "rb5-camera-server-4"...
      Jun 08 15:35:50 m0052 systemd[1]: Started "rb5-camera-server-4".
      Jun 08 15:35:52 m0052 rb5-camera-server[2224]: gbm_create_device(156): Info: backend name is: msm_drm
      

      So, my first question: Why is the camera server service saying that there is
      an unknown option in the startup configuration files when I never touched them
      to begin with?

      Next, I tested the cameras with the rb5-camera-client command. All cameras
      began pushing metadata through the pipe successfully. I confirmed this by using
      systemctl status rb5-camera-server@X.

      Frame Information:
      Individual Pixel Value 500: 4 
      
      Metadata Information:
      Timestamp:1267899026668 
      Frame ID:43
      Frame Width:640
      Frame Height:480
      fps: 30.00125
      

      The frame width and FPS line up with the specs of the secondary cameras. An example of the systemd log is shown below:

      ● rb5-camera-server@0.service - "rb5-camera-server-0"
         Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/rb5-camera-server; indirect; vendor preset: enabled)

                 └─2197 /usr/bin/rb5-camera-server -c 0
      
      Jun 08 15:35:48 m0052 systemd[1]: Starting "rb5-camera-server-0"...
      Jun 08 15:35:49 m0052 systemd[1]: Started "rb5-camera-server-0".

      Jun 08 15:55:26 m0052 rb5-camera-server[2197]: [INFO] Started camera ID: 0
      

      Second step was to configure the rb5-streamer service (which controls
      camera 3, the hi-res camera) to run on startup using the
      rb5-streamer-configure factory_enable command. The service seems to start up
      normally based on the systemd log:

      ● rb5-streamer.service - rb5-streamer
         Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rb5-streamer.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-06-08 16:09:28 UTC; 14s ago
       Main PID: 10448 (rb5-streamer)
          Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915)
         CGroup: /system.slice/rb5-streamer.service
                 └─10448 /usr/bin/rb5-streamer
      
      Jun 08 16:09:28 m0052 systemd[1]: Started rb5-streamer.

      For references, here is the example from the technical docs:

      ● rb5-streamer.service - "rb5-streamer"
         Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/rb5-streamer; indirect; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-07-26 16:28:00 UTC; 15s ago

      My output is missing gbm_create_device(156) and the actual IP address. I
      should note that the drone is connected to Wi-Fi successfully and has an IP
      address that I can ping and SSH into.

      For the most part, everything starts up without any hiccups. However, when I
      try to open the stream in VLC the stream fails. QGC doesn't even show the video
      and I'm stumped. I followed the directions, checked I was putting the right
      RTSP addressed and I have no clue how to proceed.

      Help would be immensely appreciated.

      Thanks!
