RE: VOXL Flight will not flash image
@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.

RE: "Avionics power low: 4.78 V" battery.
@modaltb Hi. I have submitted my response to the firm that was sent to me. Looking forward for the replacement. Do let me know if there's anything else I need to do from my end. Thank you again.

hi @modaltb Sure. Thank you. That works with us. Could you let me know the return process, or what do we need to do it from our end?

RE: "Avionics power low: 4.78 V" battery.
Hi @modaltb Thanks for your reply.
Yes, we are using the VOXL power module.Yes, after measuring the pin1 of J1, we are getting output as 4.78V DC instead of 5V.
The voltage that we reported as 4.78V, was the voltage coming out of the power module.
We even tested with different batteries like 3S mentioned above and 4S, but its still the same.
In QGC, we did change our parameters from 4S to 3S to suit our requirements.
Just to let you know, we have been working with this exact same setup for over a month now, and successfully did our flying tests, but this is the first time that this issue has come up. -
"Avionics power low: 4.78 V" battery.
Hi, We are observing a strange behavior wrt to our Lipo battery, while flying our voxl flight deck enabled drone. We are using a Lipo 3s 2200 MaH battery. Our battery is fully charged. However, while testing, we hear this from Qgroundcontrol station "
- Avionics power low: 4.78 V".
And as a result the drone goes into uncontrollable state and hits the ceiling.
While our debugging, we observed that the voltage on pin1 of J1 connector, we are getting voltage of 4.8V DV instead of 5V which is required.
Please let us know what could be a problem here and how can we proceed from here. Looking forward to your reply.

RE: VOXL Power
Thank you for the information. It was a great help. We are using

VOXL Power
Hi. We are observing a strange thing wrt to power on VOXL. When we connect our ESC's on the J1007 connector on the VOXL, the VOXL boards powers on, even though there is no power connection being made on the "J1013 - 5V DC Power Input". Is this a problem?

RE: Air frame options
@Chad-Sweet said in Air frame options:
QAV
Thank you for your reply. What arm length and motors did you guys go for?
For the arm length, I see 5,6,7 inches options. -
Air frame options
Hi. We wanted to know what are the different compatible air frames for VOXL Flight Deck.We are currently using S500 air frame. However we are looking at other options too, which are more compact. Could you recommend anything?

any updates regarding this issue?

Cannot change TOF framerate
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 ... logging to /home/root/.ros/log/1e64ae08-1dd2-11b2-b299-ec5c68cd1745/roslaunch-apq8096-8701.log Checking log directory for disk usage.

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
