@Eric-Katzfey if you cannot start docker images, you can try the command above to clear them. Good luck.

Hello,

Yesterday the voxl main board stopped responding. I removed all cameras and devices except for power and cannot get adb shell to respond.

If I do adb devices, I get a device in the list, but when i try adb shell, I get error, closed.

I attached the fastboot interface and tried following the unbricking procedure described at https://docs.modalai.com/unbrick-voxl/ but no response.

Hi @Chad-Sweet it appears that I am on voxl-suite 0.2.0 as indicated above. However, if QGC reports that avoidance system is unavailable and the vehicle will not arm. If I run

voxl-vision -s

I can see the obstacle debug info on the terminal, also I set

"en_voa":    true,

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

That is what I thought. I have not updated the system yet. Please let me know when this update is available!

Thanks, so my question is, if I am running a planner in ROS, and sending out move simple goals to a local coordinate, will the vehicle auto correct it's odometry while flying around? My tests seem to suggest that this would not be the case.

No response. I'll ask a related question... what is the most stable odom topic that is transmitted in MAVROS? /mavros/local_position/odom seems to have a lot of drift.

rm /data/network/files/local-kv.db

did the trick. Thanks for providing that missing piece of data!

just looking at the logs, the docker deamon fails here:

level=fatal msg="Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: could not delete the default bridge network: network bridge has active endpoints"

Most forums suggest removing the docker network folder: rm -r /var/lib/docker/network

I did this but still having issues. Just curious if the modalAI setup stores docker files somewhere else?

I had a battery go pretty low and the system crashed while running mavros in docker last night, after reboot, docker deamon is not responding and I cannot see any images.

Just looking at your script, I realized that modal has it's own docker services.. so perhaps this provides a little more info: I have created a few images from the kinetic image

Hey @Alex123 were you able to resolve this? I'm having the same issue.

I'm not so sure which one I'm on:

Hello!
I would like to use the Apriltag frame localization over in ROS to localize my drone. However all of the mavros odom topics do not seem to publish this offset. Is there a way to do this? I can see the offsets when I run voxl-vision-px4 -p

Hello! Just reading through your documentation on Obstacle Avoidance .. it seems to imply that you just need to run a calibration and turn it on in /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf

When I do all this, I don't seem to be getting any meaningful obstacle data from the debug mode or in QGC. I assume that I also need to compile and run the avoidance ros node on my own apart from these instructions?

Can you please clarify?
Thanks!

@Voxlady Thanks for the clarification I'll report my findings here.

Hello, I see another thread on this from Jan, but it didn't answer my question exactly.

I see from the documentation that MAVROS must run in the roskinetic-xenial docker. However, the instructions for building other ROS nodes seem to imply that you build for the natively installed indigo ROS.

Is the expectation that if I build something (like PX4 avoidance) for Indigo, both would have to run at the same time?

gauravshukla914 Just curious, are you trying https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Avoidance or something else for collision prevention?

nothing else has changed.

@Chad-Sweet Pretty sure everything is connected properly. Earlier today I started RTSP on the stereo cams and it was working, however I noticed that the left side was super blurry though, so I connected an old cam in it's place, which looked better, then I connected the orig back to double check that it wasn't just a blurry lens. At that point, I could not get anything.

If I disconnect the cameras, I cannot run the RTSP server in mode 2, if I connect the cameras, RTSP server runs but nothing shows up in VLC. I could use some help tracking down what is happening.
