@george-kollamkulam In console can you do a listener battery_status to see what the PX4 topic has in it?

@Thomas-Müller VOXL 2 can be used outdoors.

@Daniel-Rincon Yes, please start a new post for the VIO question

@Daniel-Rincon It seems like all that should be possible with MAVSDK. I asked about GPS because of the message MAVSDK gave you about waiting for a global position.

@Thomas-Müller We support ArduPilot. But you can run it directly on VOXL 2, you don't need a separate flight controller, as long as you are okay with the I/O limitations of the VOXL 2.

@constantines Unfortunately, the PX4 Mavlink module is only running on the applications processor (Linux) and not on the DSP side. Mavlink would have to be added to the DSP PX4 build.

@garret Here's the source code for our branch of Gazebo: https://github.com/modalai/PX4-SITL_gazebo-classic/tree/voxl-dev

@Daniel-Rincon said in Cant use Mavsdk! please Help!:

Waiting for the drone to have a global position estimation....

Does your drone have GPS? Is the GPS getting a proper fix?

@garret As best I can tell the diff_pressure field in the Mavlink HIL_SENSOR message sent from Gazebo would have this info but it is an optional field so not sure if Gazebo is actually populating it. If it is then it will be made available within PX4 via the differential_pressure topic.

@Yufei-Jiang What hardware are you using? Is this PX4 running on VOXL 2?

@cguzikowski Yes, very odd. Hopefully it just works now

@tonygurney What are you trying to accomplish with voxl-io-server?

@cguzikowski It's certainly worth a try.

@tonygurney said in voxl-io-server won't run:

no config file found, please run voxl-configure-rangefinders

Did you try running voxl-configure-rangefinders?

@Jetson-Nano said in doodle labs and joystick setup:

This is the output i am getting while running listener manual_control_setpoint

What is the parameter COM_RC_IN_MODE set to?

@Jetson-Nano said in doodle labs and joystick setup:

I am not able to see the option you have mentioned VOXL_ESC_T_ON

In the Mavlink console what do you see with "param show VOXL_ESC_*"?

And what about "ver all"?

@Ege-Yüceel This is definitely not supported by ModalAI. However, a sophisticated developer has access to enough documentation and source code that it is possible to make that work.

@tonygurney Try the test application voxl-send-esc-pwm-cmd. Source code is here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-io-server/-/blob/dev/tools/voxl-send-esc-pwm-cmd.c?ref_type=heads

@tonygurney The ESC doesn't use PWM to control the motors. So it has the PWM channels free for other uses. The ESC used in the Sentinel actually has the PWM IO on a connector (J3) so no need to solder: https://docs.modalai.com/modal-esc-datasheet/

@cguzikowski Hmmm, this is really odd. I am trying to replicate on my development board but it works fine in both px4 and ardupilot with the m10s unit. Can you update to latest SDK 1.5.0?
