    • RE: What are my options for ROS support on VOXL?

      Thanks for the quick response. I was offline for the last 36 hours waiting for a network repair...
      Anyway, the fundamental problem I'm having with voxl-mpa-to-ros is a build failure...
      I follow the instructions in the README.md but end up with a failure in build.sh...
      Several CMAKE warnings like this:

      CMake Warning at /opt/ros/indigo/share/cpp_common/cmake/cpp_commonConfig.cmake:111 (message):
        Project 'cpp_common' specifies 'NOTFOUND/usr/include' as an include dir,
        which is not found.  It does neither exist as an absolute directory nor in
        '/opt/ros/indigo/NOTFOUND/usr/include'.  Ask the maintainer 'Dirk Thomas
        <dthomas@osrfoundation.org>' to fix it.
      Call Stack (most recent call first):
        /opt/ros/indigo/share/roscpp/cmake/roscppConfig.cmake:169 (find_package)
        /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:76 (find_package)
        CMakeLists.txt:43 (find_package)
      

      Then the final error:

      /home/root/catkin_ws/src/./include/interfaces/ai_detection_interface.h:38:41: fatal error: voxl_mpa_to_ros/AiDetection.h: No
      such file or directory

      make: *** [all] Error 2
      Invoking "make install -j8 -l8" failed
      voxl-emulator:~$
      

      This is the result when running build.sh apq8096, which I assume is correct for Voxl-Flight-Deck. Are those instructions up to date? I am running with docker image "voxl-eumlator:V1.7".

    • RE: What are my options for ROS support on VOXL?

      @Chad-Sweet I'm working on a docker image to support ROS melodic on Ubuntu 18.04; meanwhile, I'd still appreciate your thoughts on this...
      Just based on a pretty thorough docker-on-voxl page vs "coming soon" for the MPA-to-ROS page, it appears the better route is to push toward docker; especially if I have ROS-melodic experience. True? Thoughts?

    • Possible issue with Dockerfile.xenial-base in gitlab...

      I tried to walk through building the docker image discussed here and as far as I can tell, the FROM line in Dockerfile.xenial-base needs to be changed from
      FROM aarch64/ubuntu:xenial
      to
      FROM arm64v8/ubuntu:xenial

      I'm no wizard with docker, so can someone confirm this?

    • RE: What are my options for ROS support on VOXL?

      @Chad-Sweet Thanks, I'll dig into that...
      Am I correct to assume that it is common practice to run with the Yocto based Linux as the "base" platform and then launch various docker images with some form of Ubuntu in parallel with that?

      Assuming it is, has anyone already created a "rosmelodic-bionic" docker image?
      Seems the docker files here https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/roskinetic-docker are where to start. True?
      Sorry, I'm editing this as I go. I'll stop now...

    • What are my options for ROS support on VOXL?

      I am just getting started with VOXL Flight Deck. I've walked through several quick starts and have used ADB and SSH as well as QGC/WiFi to connect to my target. All good. I see that my shipped system is running a Yocto built version of Linux that has ROS Indigo.
      I was hoping to use ROS Melodic. Is there any upgrade path to be able to run ROS Melodic on VOXL?

      Got it, thanks to both.
      Sorry for the paranoia!

    • RE: VOXL Flight Deck Kit Power Supply...

      @Chad-Sweet Sorry but I gotta make sure we're on the same page here (really don't wanna see any smoke!). I just need to make sure I supply the right voltage into the power module...
      I'm following the page for the flight deck. It just says the power module accepts a battery input. So I go to the VOXL Flight Quickstart page but it doesn't talk about the power module at all. That leads me to the VOXL Quickstart page which points to a 5V power supply and has a warning here not to use a 12V power supply.
      Hopefully you can see my reason for hesitation. Anyway, I see the APMv3 specs, but just want to confirm with you that my Power Module (with the markings I mention above) is definitely the APMv3 (which clearly requires a 12V supply).

    • VOXL Flight Deck Kit Power Supply...

      Hi,
      I am brand new to VOXL, just unpacking my VOXL Flight Deck Kit.
      Some of the startup pages point to a 12v supply, others point to a 5v supply to the Power Module. The silkscreen on my power module says: MODALAI APM LITE, M0041 REV B, 5V/12V. That implies (to me) that either will work, but I wanna be sure. Is 5V-8A supply compatible with that power module?
      Thanks
