I have a 2 imx678 hires cameras attached to a voxl 2 mini the stream video using the voxl-camera-server without any problems, however there is a weird color tint on the cameras. Is there any way to adjust to color calibration for the voxl-camera-server? If not is there a way to access the raw8 or raw10 grey video without any image processing done to them?

@tom I thought I did but it wasn't in properly I tested it again and I got sucess.
so this confirms that uart is working correct? and then for using it in my own program I could use the same things I see in the test program with #include <voxl_io.h> and then all the same voxl_uart functions used in the program yeah?
Thanks.

@Moderator Any update on accessing the RAW8 for the hires image sensors?
Also, is there a way to change the exposure and gain manually. In the voxl-camera-server config I have been able to change the setting of ae_mode to off and I've tried using the "voxl-send-command hires0_small_color set_exp_gain 100 200" for example but nothing changes. I also tried setting the ae_mode to lme_msv but changing the settings in the config had no effect of the exposure or gain either, it was acting the same as the off mode. Are these settings available to the hires imx678? If not, is there any way for me to adjust the exposure and gain settings?

Hello, I am testing the ar0144 camera with the ae_mode set to "lme_msv" and I don't see the "ae_exposure_period" making any signifigant change. I set it to "1.0" then "1.5" and the images look exactly the same, and it seems like there is no different between the "recovery" time when going from dark to light. I'm wondering what this setting does because I believe it works different then what I am assuming.

Hello,

I have been doing alot of test recently with a voxl2 mini and I have come across an issue that I'm hoping I can get some help with. After extreme shock the app proc imu, the one from the voxl-imu-server, the imu becomes extremely saturated and seems to lock at this saturated state. shown in the graph below is the accels and the y reaches 156 m/s2 and never comes back down. This seems to be resolved with a reset of the entire system, so power off power on of the voxl, however that isn't really an option during operation so I'm wondering if there is a way to reset or power cycle only the imu in hopes to correct this without having to shut down the entire system? Any leads on this are helpful.

@tom Thanks for replying, I have actually resolved this already, There was an issue with the power supply and I guess whenever it would get to 12 % it would drop enough power to shut off and I didn't have access to any of the lights so I just didn't realize. After fixing the power supply I was able to complete the flashing process and everything is working properly now.

Hello, I have a voxl2 mini that I am trying to reflash with a new SDK however I'm running into issues. It detects the device and begins the flashing process but it then hangs at
"
Flashing: xbl_a | xbl.elf

and never progresses any more from there. All I'm doing is powering it with the fastboot button held and then running install.sh. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on what I am doing wrong.

Heres the full output after i run install.sh

Another thing I've noticed with this particular voxl that I have not noticed with others is the voxl-suite is missing, I'm not sure why or what this means but seems relevant to the state of the device.

Hello, I am pulling images from the voxl-camera-server of a ar0144 camera over the modal pipe and was wonder what was meant by " int64_t timestamp_ns; ///< timestamp in apps-proc clock-monotonic of beginning of exposure", if this is the case if I am looking for the "center of exposure time" does this mean I take the "exposure_ns" and add half of that to the timestamp_ns?

@Vinny I was able to get it in fastboot mode and flash it so things seem to be working now, switching to off and hitting the button solved it.

Thanks for all the help!

@Vinny It wasn't a power issue, I realized one of the boards in the stack wasn't connecting properly, so pretty simple to fix that.

I am still having the issue of actually getting it to work though, all of my attempts to get it into fastboot mode don't do anything and there doesn't seem to be a button on the board I can push and the switch doesn't seem to be helping. There is a button on the 5G Wireless board at the top, but this also does not seem to put it into fastboot mode. I also can't connect to it any other way, like just doing adb shell and no devices show for adb devices nor fastboot devices.

@mkriesel I got the green light now but there is still a problem, the 5G boaard has a button but the bottom 2 boards don't have any button, just the switch on the middle board, the one with the usb connector. I still cannot connect to it nor get fastboot working.

@tom Hello, I am picking up this problem now and have some questions about what I should do for next steps.

There are 2 boards in this stack and it seems slightly different than than the stock Voxl 2. On the top board there is a button labeled sw3. Pressing this button and power on does not seem to be enabling fastboot mode. the install.sh script just hangs and fastboot devices produces no results. There is a switch labled sw1 but this does not seem to do anything either and I can't seem to find what this does.

What do you mean by "light being red is not good", what does this indicate? Power to the board seems fine. I'm using the stock cable an wall power adapter and everything seems to turn on fine and is supplying the correct power.

Are there other things I can try or would this board need to be sent back for fixing

@Alex-Kushleyev Alright, thanks for the info
