@tom Thanks it worked! Out of curiosity, was it written somewhere and I missed that?

@tom Here is the output for lsbusb -t

And here the one for ifconfig

it says that the voxl-modem service is up and running but it is not connected to the internet

Hello,

I am using a Starling V2 Max with voxl-suite 1.4.2 and a Qualcomm 5G module (pictured below). I have inserted a Mint Mobile SIM card and followed the configuration steps from ModalAI's documentation.

During setup, I selected:
1️⃣ V2 as the modem (option 1)
2️⃣ No Modallink (option 2)
3️⃣ T-Mobile APN: fast.t-mobile.com (since Mint uses T-Mobile's network) (option 4)

However, the system fails to detect /dev/ttyUSB2, and running:

ls /dev | grep ttyUSB

returns nothing—indicating that no /dev/ttyUSB devices are available.

Any insights or troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

Attached is a picture of the 5G modem for reference.

Thank you in advance

I have a Starling 2 Max with SDK 1.3.5. I have recently tried to install opencv to do some object detection with aruco markers but I believe there was some incompatibility issues and now the qvio doesn't work. I was thinking on doing a factory reset and I was wondering how can I do it and what are the calibration and configuration file I should copy to have the system behaving as before.

Hello,

I have a Starling v2 max with VOXL2 and when I connect to QGround Control I can see the images sent by the front camera. I want to switch between those and the images coming from the camera facing down, how can I do that?

@LR I removed and reinstalled voxl-mpa-to-ros2 and that is working now, for voxl-mpa-to-ros I still have the same problem

@Zachary-Lowell-0 Hi, thank you for your response! I've tried to installed it directly but when I try to access it with ros2 run voxl_mpa_to_ros2 voxl_mpa_to_ros2 it doesn't find the node, I also checked under opt/ros/foxy/mpa_to_ros2/install and the package is not there...
I tried again to install it on the docker container with what @jmltt told me and now I have this problem

Lastly I tried also to install voxl_mpa_to_ros for melodic but in this case the package contains just the launch file and not the voxl_mpa_to_ros_node so again I cannot call the function

Sorry for all this...

Hello,

I'm following this guide https://docs.modalai.com/ros2-installation-voxl2/ to build the voxl-mpa-to-ros2 pkg and push it into VOXL2. I'm facing some problems with the instructions, in detail, I succeeded into creating the qrb5165-emulator image, then I can install the dependencies with './install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 dev', but when I try to run the build.sh file the voxl_msgs pkg fail to compile. Below the error I obtain. What am I doing wrong?

When I attempt to use my drone for GPS-denied applications indoors with QGroundControl (QGC), I am unable to switch to offboard mode. However, it works perfectly fine outdoors. My question is whether there are specific PX4 parameters I need to change or if my Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) is not functioning correctly.

Update: I actually understood why I cannot bind, the receiver is not a Spektrum but a FrSky R-XSR Receiver, what should I do? Should I buy a FrSky transmitter or should I change the receiver to a Spektrum one? What do you suggest?

Or anyway, is there an option to give the binding command directly from VOXL without using QGC?

Hello,

I have a Seeker drone, and I'm following the Quickstart guide to make it fly for the first time. I have successfully connected the Seeker to QGControl and I can arm the drone from there. The only problem is that I'm trying to bind the drone to my transmitter but when I press Spektrum Bind as indicated here https://docs.modalai.com/seeker-user-guide-px4/, the receiver orange light doesn't start blinking fast. Do you have any idea of what can it be?

Hello, I have a Seeker with VOXL v1.12.0 installed.

I'm trying to control it with ROS using MAVROS. I can run it in the kinetic docker but not on the VOXL itself, do you know if there is a way to do it?
Also, I'm trying to use the drone for indoor applications, I tested the code in gazebo and everything works fine, but when I test it on the drone, I can switch to offboard mode but mavros keeps asking me for a GPS signal and the drone arms but doesn't take off... is there a way to disabilitate the GPS?
