Hi @Tejas-Shah . Yes you can. We are using AT10 right now for ouru work.

@scottesicdrone
The problem is because fastboot command needs root to run properly or else it wont detect device in bootloader.

refer this for more info about running it without root.
https://docs.modalai.com/setup-adb/

or simply run install.sh script as root.

Thank you so much for this. This was of great help @Chad-Sweet

any updates regarding this issue?

Hello,
I am working with TOF and problem is I am not able to change the framerate. Even after passing the value for the argument frame_rate it does not seems to have any affect on the performance.

yocto:/# roslaunch voxl_hal3_tof_cam_ros tof.launch frame_rate:=5

It seems that the frame_rate is hardcoded in hello_hal3_camera.h static const uint8_t FrameRate = 30;

was it supposed to be hard-coded? if yes than how can I try different configuration as mention in the TOF data sheet

Rate: 5 - 45FPS in configurable option modes for distance / accuracy / framerate
Exposure Time: 4.8 ms typ. @ 45 fps / 30 ms typ. @ 5 fps
Range :4 - 6m
Depth Resolution: <= 1% of distance (0.5 – 4m @ 5fps) <= 2% of distance (0.1 – 1m @ 45fps) 

Here are the results for different FPS. They all look the same. Seems to have no effect of framerate argument

1FPS

5FPS

30FPS

45FPS

Thanks

Hello,
I have flight deck, Is it possible to interface addition sensors to the flight deck that are powered via USB. As there are no USB ports on the deck I don't know how to attach the device.
Device that I am looking to attach is a RFID reader and a sensor from Intel realsense family. Both of which needs USB 3.0

Thanks

@Chad-Sweet To execute that command, we need to go inside voxl. But it is not allowing us to open the adb shell. Even after restarting it and nothing else (i.e just the shell), it still shows adb error. I have included a picture for you to look at it!

Is it possible to connect via team viewer to look into this issue? We can set up a time for it.

@Chad-Sweet We tried this by building our own ros kinetic expanded image as instructed, we also compiled mavros_test from the repository. But now adb is losing its connection frequently. Within a minute or so, it comes out of adb shell and also turns off the voxl hotspot and when we do adb devices, it says "device offline".
Also, when we do adb shell, it says sometimes error:closed .

This happens when we run this command as instructed - "voxl-imu-server running". Based on our observation, whenever we run this command, everything that we mentioned above happens.

Thank you so much for this. This was of great help @Chad-Sweet

Thanks for your reply.We are now able to use Octomap. But the problem we are facing is we are getting odometry using mavros and we are getting point cloud from hal3_tof_cam, but both of these topics are in different fixed frames. I wanted to know what is the idea behind using /base_link instead of /map in the fixed frame in voxl_hal3_tof_cam_ros?

Thank for your reply.
How did you map or which mapping package or procedure did you guys use, for mapping in your video of ToF?

Hi,

We are trying to use Octomap on VOXL which has TOF installed. We are facing an issue with pcl_ros library, as octo map needs this library. Could you suggest a solution to this or if you could suggest which other 3D mapping package we could use.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

We are having a hard time positioning ToF into the flight deck in our final set-up. As of now, its on bench, but we want to attach it on flight deck and then on the drone. Could you please provide us with your suggestion, or send an image of your set-up, that you have used in your commercial video of the placement of ToF.
Since this hardware is very delicate, we want to take all the precautionary measure possible.

while we are at it, do you have a 3D enclosure for ToF that we can print and place the ToF so that we can attach it to the drone.

Looking forward to your reply.
