@Inverse-AJ A quick look at the code shows that CP_DIST has to be greater than 0 and current flight mode has to be manual position mode. What flight mode are you in?

@Eric-Katzfey The code would have to be changed to something the compiler can deal with.

@ravi said in support for septentrio GNSS / GPS receiver modules:

is too small to hold all values of

Seems like the compiler doesn't like that code. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36005063/gcc-suppress-warning-too-small-to-hold-all-values-of

@mrawding I just tried reboot and shutdown -r now from an ssh session and both seem to work fine. After the board reboots I can ssh back into it. Are you using WiFi?

@Mark-Ogata Just in terms of bandwidth you will definitely see more with the Ethernet versus UART. Don't use the USB-C adapter directly on the VOXL 2. That is really only for adb. You would want an add on board that exposes one or more USB2 ports. Then you could attach a USB Ethernet dongle. It's more hardware but more bandwidth. Are you sure you even need the Raspberry Pi? Couldn't you just do everything on VOXL 2?

@jmltt Yes, those instructions will work. But getting access to that UART is probably the most challenging part. I would purchase one of these: https://www.sparkfun.com/usb-to-ttl-serial-cable.html (or equivalent 3.3V cable) and this adapter https://www.sparkfun.com/breadboard-to-jst-ghr-04v-cable-4-pin-x-1-25mm-pitch.html. That combination has been working well for me.

@Ansel-Misfeldt said in Avions power low warnings:

avionics power low

FYI: We normally set CBRK_SUPPLY_CHK to 894281 to disable this check

@Tamilselvan we currently support only one PMD TOF sensor. due to power and connector requirements.

@Mark-Ogata Regarding the Raspberry Pi, you could connect with a UART or you could connect via Ethernet (With proper intermediary hardware).

@TomP Oh, yes, this is all great news! Very exciting to hear! I will send an email to your account with some follow up questions.

@TomP Wonderful! So glad to hear. And I would really love to hear how the flight testing goes. We've never tried a VOXL 2 (or VOXL 2 mini) on a fixed wing (with ArduPilot) so be careful and triple check to make sure everything looks setup correctly before launching.

@Eric-Katzfey Or just voxl-2-io upgrade_firmware?

@TomP Okay, I think that firmware needs to be upgraded. Can you try voxl-2-io and choose upgrade_firmware?

@TomP A new voxl-ardupilot package with debug information added. But we may not need that. Try voxl-2-io detect and then if that is successful then try voxl-2-io scan

@TomP Can you stop ardupilot and then run this command on VOXL 2 mini? voxl-2-io detect

@TomP Yep, that all looks fine. Shoot. I may need to send you a new package with extra debug information to help debug this since by default there really isn't much we can see.

@TomP Can you tell me how you have connected the UART pins on M0065 to the UART pins on VOXL 2 mini? Like the actual pin numbers that are connected?

@TomP Hmm, that looks correct. On my test setup running ArduPlane with those values I see output values being sent to the M0065 board. I'm wondering if there is a connectivity issue between the VOXL 2 mini and the IO board.

@TomP If you set the SERVO(x)_FUNCTION parameters according to this: https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/servo-functions.html#overview do you get any PWM output?

@TomP What are the settings of all the SERVO(x)_ params?
