@Matt69 Also what breakout board are you guys using for the ground control side of the Doodle labs radio setup in the guide? https://docs.modalai.com/doodle-labs-user-guide/

Hello Modal AI Team,

I'm exploring using a Doodle Labs radio (RM-2450-12M3) to connect to my Voxl 2 drone for longer range than wifi while still having mavlink connection/qgc. Im using the doodle labs guide on the developer docs: https://docs.modalai.com/doodle-labs-user-guide/

Does this guide serve recommended path in 2026 for this use? Are there other radio connection paths/methods for this use case that you recommend that I consider that you guys have had better success with?

Thanks!
Matt

@Alex-Kushleyev

At a bare minimum I just need the additional pwn channels to be controlled by joysticks via QGC. They don't need to be connected to PX4/Autopilot at this point. Does this allow for an easier solution?

Thanks!
Matt

@Alex-Kushleyev Sounds good, thank you!

@Alex-Kushleyev Does this package also include ability to set induvial max/min values per M0065 channels along with disarming? Does this capability currently exist in stock Voxl2 build?

Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev I reflashed 1.6.3 on the VOXL 2 twice and it seemed to fix it the second time. Weird that it fixed it and I am also unable to reproduce the issue again. At least it works now lol.

Hello Modal AI Team,

I'm currently running a voxl2 with a 0065 (IO Board) with the pwn adapter. I currently have all 8 pwn connections used (throttle/flaps/etc.). I want to add ideally 1-4 more connections. What is the recommended path? I understand this may be uncharted territory also.

Im thinking maybe buying another 0065 with the pwn adapter and try to connect it to one of the other ports on VOXL and then activate IO for that port via modifying startup script?

@Matt69 For further clarification, my understanding is that a 169.XXX.XXX.XXX IP address indicates off nominal wifi performance. Please advise.

Thanks!

Hello Modal AI team,

I just flashed my Voxl2 with the newest SDK 1.6.3. The issue is I cannot seem to get station mode working with voxl-wifi. Is this a common bug or am I missing something here? Here is my system info from the abd shell "intro" for reference.

Thanks!
