Trying to get a vectornav VN300 external INS to work with our voxl2 setup. It has a sensor module in px4 firmware: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/sensor/vectornav.
Looking at the voxl-px4-start script here: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/main/boards/modalai/voxl2/target/voxl-px4-start it seems like you should be able to start a module / driver and target QUP6 this way:
if [ "$GPS" != "NONE" ]; then
# On M0052 the GPS driver runs on the apps processor
if [ $PLATFORM = "M0052" ]; then
gps start -d /dev/ttyHS2
# On M0054 and M0104 the GPS driver runs on SLPI DSP
else
qshell gps start -d 6
fi
fi
So I assumed I could just modify voxl-px4 to include the vectornav sensor module, reload the package and add the appropriate start command
qshell vectornav start -d 6
Even with the firmware properly rebuilt & deployed and the vectornav module visible as a target on the px4 side, it fails to run from the VOXL2 side:
starling-px4-dev-kit (D0011):/usr/bin$ px4-qshell vectornav start -d 6
INFO [qshell] Send cmd: 'vectornav start -d 6'
INFO [qshell] cmd returned with: 1
INFO [qshell] qshell return value timestamp: 1453125775, local time: 1453127808
ERROR [qshell] Command failed
Also, the output isn't really verbose so I can't see why the command failed. I've tried running it on the px4 side (in the mavlink console in QGroundControl), and the verbose error I get is that '6' is not a proper serial device. How can I start the driver and properly target QUP6? Also, how can I get more verbose output when running px4-qshell commands on the VOXL2 side?
