Update: looks as if my level shifter was a little low on the 3.3v side replaced and I’m talking to the FC now.

Also will i need to replicate the set up as in do i need a GPS directly to the VOXL2and the orientations to be set?

I when i run voxl-mavlink-server -s i see the outgoing. When i run with a -r there is no printing of outgoing messages.

What i have:
Voxl2 0.9
Microhard add on
UART from the Microhard
logic level from 1.8 to 3.3v
Verified the voltage shift

I saw a mention of a SDK fix that was about 14hours old. I just need a good start to troubleshoot this

Hello, since my last questions i am down to getting the UART from the voxl2 to the orange cube set. I have everything wired in and set to external flight controller. I enable mavlink server and check systemctl status it says its running. There is a bug however with the FW for the orange cube where the mavlink console will not allow commands to run. Are there any checks you would suggest to show tx and rx streams or even imu streams from the cube?

Just need something to give me a warm and fuzzy that its working.

Thank you

@Vinny Thank you. Looks like ill be getting something on order soon.

@vinny Is there any other VREG_S4A_1P8V test pads beside TP21 i can get power from on the bottom of the MH carrier? I put a meter to verify power and wasnt getting voltage out

@Eric-Katzfey no clue i was tagged in the thread, my guess would be to have my attention drawn to another source

@Chad-Sweet no the vehicle isn’t a modalai product. The trip has its own dedicated 12v pwr bus. I may be able to get a usb connection out and if that’s the case it might be more simple possibly. I’ll look in the morning to see what besides Ethernet is available.

@Chad-Sweet the trip2 unit is powered by the vehicle already and wouldn’t need power from the voxl2. I’m just giving the voxl2 an Ethernet to usb video stream via the microhard usb port. So I would still need to splice 5v in?
