@Eric-Katzfey
Hi Eric.
Yes the same error messages occur each time.
Have tried pressing on the connector as well. Doesn't help.
Have spaced the power supply, wifi, gps antenna apart also.

Below are the logs

@Eric-Katzfey Thanks Eric, Vinn.

Here are the detailed debug info.

Send cmd: 'gps start'
cannot reset all parameters on client side
px4io read failed
px4io io_reg_get(0,0,1): data error -5
IO not installed
Detection attempt failed
...
Failed to execute command px4io detect
command failed

I get an error message
"[muorb] SLPI: UBX CFG-GNSS message ACK failed".

@Eric-Katzfey Yes. The magnetometer is working correctly. QGC display indicator suggests so.
The LED also blinking GPS lock

Thanks. I doubt it is the hardware that is not working. The GPS fix indicator on the module is blinking blue.

How do I check that the VOXL2 is talking to the GPS module correctly?
Is there a command to see the GPS location readings on VOXL2?

|

The GPS module says M8N.
I bought it a couple of months ago under the VOXL2 flight deck.

I have tried "qshell gps start". No it doesnt resolve the issue.

Hi.

I am unable to get set up the GPS unit which came with the VOXL2 flight deck I purchased.

muorb SLPI: UBX CFG-GNSS message ACK failed
...
muorb SLPI: status: NOT OK, port:6, baudrate: 0

Would appreciate some help.

I have managed to get the VOXL2 px4 to connect to QGC

Sorry. Here is the voxl-version output.
I have also check with another PX4 flight control board and it works. so it is unlikely an issue with QGC side.

I also don't see any UDP traffic originating from VXOL2 using wireshark on the laptop hosting QGroundControl. Please help

I checked on QGroundControl Logs. It says
"Object does not exist at path “/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/4"

I have a voxl2 flight deck.

I want to set it up and simulate fly by waypoints, guided by GPS, using QGC-Gazebo and PX4 before I go and size up the motor-props-frame and develop the drone.

So far,
I have been able to set up the mavlink and PX4 server running.
I have been able to ping the QGC computer from voxl2 and voxl2 from computer
I have set up the IP address to be the computer hosting QGC.

But I am unable to get QGC automatically connect to the PX4. It says disconnected
I am not sure if it is QGC issue or the VOXL2 setup though

@Zachary-Lowell-0 Hi. Yes. I am able to set up voxl-wifi station properly and can ping between my QgroundCtrl computer and VOXL2. I am to run mavlink server and vision px4 as well.

Hi.

I purchased the VOXL2 flight deck (without the ESC and motors) and tried to run the example to connect PX4 MAVLINK to QGC. I play to run the flight simulation with gazebo
I am unable to get connection up. I also realised there is no config files e.g.
/etc/modalai/voxl-px4.config

Would appreciate if you could help
